PRESS RELEASE
7 February 2024, Copenhagen, Denmark
Following a long-standing relationship with the customer, FLSmidth has received an order to supply comminution technologies to upgrade the customer's copper concentrator at a mine site in the Asia Pacific region. The grinding technology that FLSmidth will deliver is among the most environmentally friendly technologies available.
The order is valued at approximately DKK 300 million and was booked in Q1 2024. The equipment is due to be delivered during 2025.
The order includes the delivery of two High Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGR) Pro, which are well known to be among the most energy-efficient comminution technologies available. In addition to the HPGRs, the order includes auxiliary equipment including an electrical and automation package, first-time spares and wear parts package, site supervision and training.
The original need for the HPGRs arose from the customer's challenges of increasing ore hardness and decreasing metal grades as the mining pit deepens. To mitigate these challenges, the miner has chosen FLSmidth's market-leading HPGR Pro technology due to its well-proven and energy-efficient design. Upon installation of the equipment the miner will benefit from increased throughput capacity, lower power consumption and extended roll life.
"We always appreciate when existing customers place new orders with us. This illustrates the importance of good customer relationships and is a clear vote of confidence in our market leading technologies. This is our second large order for HPGRs within the past month, which I am very pleased about. It clearly underpins our market leading position in HPGR technologies and is fully in line with our MissionZero ambition", comments Mikko Keto, CEO at FLSmidth.
