Equipment for copper mine in Kazakhstan

FLSmidth has won a contract worth approximately 63 million US$ from the Kazakhstani company, Kazakhmys PLC, to design a copper concentrator and supply all the process technology for a plant to be built at their Bozshakol copper mine in Kazakhstan, 220 km north of the capital Astana. The order includes the basic and detailed engineering for the plant in addition to the supply of FLSmidth’s proprietary technologies for crushing, milling, flotation, thickening, filtering, cycloning, pumping as well as regrind mills and material handling conveyors and feeders. FLSmidth will also procure auxiliary 3rd party items for the plant on behalf of Kazakhmys and provide erection supervision, start-up and commissioning services. The copper concentrator will have a capacity of 5 million t of ore per year. The order will contribute beneficially to FLSmidth‘s earnings until late 2014.
