Sandvik has reported that its new coal crushing station, supplied to Mongolia Xilinguole Baiyinhua Coal & Power Ltd, part of the Mendong Group, for one of its Mongolian coal mines has successfully been operating at full capacity since June 2009.

Sandvik was awarded the contract for the supply of a complete semi-mobile, primary crushing station in 2008. The unit operates in the Baiyinhua coal field, one of the largest coal fields in Inner Mongolia, and is the first Sandvik branded semi-mobile crushing station of its kind delivered in China.

The company secured the contract with its ability to supply the crushing station in a short delivery time of 10 months. The order consists of a complete primary crushing station based on the Sandvik CR610 centre sizer, with a crushing capacity in excess of 2,200 t/h. The installation can be relocated to help decrease material transport costs at the mine site.

Bruno Götz, manager of engineering and R&D at Sandvik’s Mining and Construction business explained: “The delivery of this semi-mobile installation is of strategically high value to Sandvik, as it shows the company’s expertise in in-pit crushing and conveying, and because it is the first that Sandvik has delivered to China. The region is an important market and we envisage immense potential for future business here.”
