FLSmidth has signed a contract with Chinese-owned Minera Chinalco Peru for equipment for its Toromocho copper mine in the Morococha mining district. The contract is valued in excess of US$30m.
FLSmidth is to provide detailed engineering and design, as well as manufacture and delivery of equipment, including two overland conveyors, seven in-plant conveyors, and two belt feeders. The overland conveyor will be one of the most complex conveyors in the world. It will be 5.2km in length and will feature 9MW of installed power. The conveyor will have complex vertical and horizontal curves and can demand or regenerate power depending on loading conditions.
Group CEO, Jørgen Huno Rasmussen commented: “Peru continues to be one of the most active mining areas in the world and FLSmidth has a long term presence in the country. FLSmidth’s Conveyor Engineering subsidiary has been providing material handling solutions in Peru since the mid 1990's and has supplied some of the largest systems in the country. The conveyor solution included in this order consists of cutting-edge technology and know-how making it one of the most complex conveyors yet."
