machinery manufacturer and supplier, is committed
to promoting safety at the Crushing Plant by
providing safety devices and features, and by
providing training, services, manuals and

Safety is the concern of all personnel. With your
actions, you participate in establishing the safety of
the working environment.
Metso Minerals products are designed and
