FLSmidth sells complete system to copper mine in Chile
FLSmidth Minerals has sold a complete dry area system to Centenario Copper for their Franke copper project in the Altamira district in the region of Antofagasta, some 70 kilometres south east of Taltal City in Chile. The contract is worth just over USD 37m (DKK 186m).
The dry area system includes a primary jaw crusher, a secondary and two tertiary cone crushers, screening equipment, feeders, a stockpile, an agglomerator and a complete stacking system. The 700 metric tonne/hour stacking system, including an 892m overland conveyor, mobile overland tripper, a string of portable conveyors, transfer conveyor, mobile bridge conveyor, and telescopic radial stacker are being provided by FLSmidth RAHCO. Plant design, mechanical, electrical and structural engineering as well as erection of the plant are also included in the FLSmidth Minerals supply.
The entire Franke project is designed to produce 30,000 tonnes of cathode copper per year with the equipment from FLSmidth Minerals being able to process in excess of 11,000 tonnes of copper ore per day.
"FLSmidth has a very strong position in the copper industry in Chile. However, this is the first time FLSmidth Minerals sells a complete dry area system in this part of the world. We largely attribute this to our ability to provide complete solutions from one partner - an ability we have obtained via our acquisitions over the last few years," CEO of FLSmidth Minerals, Christian Jepsen comments.
RAHCO has been based in Spokane for over 60 years and was acquired by FLSmidth on April 1, 2007. This acquisition has been mutually beneficial to both companies by allowing FLSmidth to incorporate RAHCO equipment into a “complete solutions” offering as with the Franke project. RAHCO has also been able to take on larger projects by being backed by a company as large as FLSmidth. ■
