FLSmidth RAHCO to Supply Overburden Handling Equipment
to Fortescue Metals Group

FLSmidth RAHCO Inc. is pleased to announce the recent award of a US$ 70M+ contract to provide two mobile overburden handling systems, including innovative size reduction equipment, to Fortescue Metals Group (FMG) for their iron ore mine in the Pilbara. The systems are a collaborative effort among several FLSmidth Minerals companies: FLSmidth RAHCO from the US, FLSmidth Minerals Pty and FLSmidth ABON in Australia, and FLSmidth MVT GmbH in Germany.

These innovative systems are automated and will provide significant operational savings to FMG’s Pilbara operation. Each system will include two sizers, two mobile bridge conveyors (one 45 m and one 80 m) in addition to one 300 m mobile stacking conveyor. All equipment is crawler mounted allowing continuous conveying and stacking. System capacity is 8000 tonnes per hour. Installation of the first system will be in August 2008 with commissioning in late November 2008. The second system will come on line four months later.

For over sixty years, FLS RAHCO’s staff has provided solutions to some of the world’s most complex machine needs in the mining industry. This experience, coupled with on-going research and development in systems design, allows us to offer the most advanced and cost-effective solutions to a variety of unique equipment challenges. RAHCO mobile stacking, reclaim and mining conveyors, radial stackers and excavators can be found at some of the world’s largest mine sites.■
