PRESS RELEASE
FLSmidth & Co. A/S
10 September 2025, Copenhagen, Denmark
Following a long-standing partnership, a progressive Indian miner and steelmaker has yet again selected FLS to deliver core mining technologies to what is set to become one of the world's largest, most efficient and sustainable iron ore beneficiation plants globally. This is the fourth consecutive order that FLS has received from the customer within the past nine months.
The order includes the delivery of the world's largest filtered tailings ("dry tailings") system comprising of twenty-two 4.2-meter x 162-sq. meter Horizontal Belt Filters (HFB), which also will be the largest of their kind in the world, as well as twelve 12 x 55-meter diameter high-rate thickeners (HRT). The technologies are expected to be delivered to the customer in 2026.
The addition of these technologies to the flowsheet and their crucial placement throughout the overall process flow demonstrates FLS's commitment to sustainability, in this case, particularly water recovery. Furthermore, this order confirms FLS's technology as the preferred solution for resource conservation and operational efficiency.
"Winning this strategic order is another proud moment for FLS. Together with the customer, we continue to push the technological boundaries of size and performance across the entire flowsheet. Once all the FLS technologies are installed and operating, this plant will become one of the largest, most efficient and highest-grade iron ore beneficiation plants globally, supporting optimal profitability and providing tangible sustainability benefits in terms of energy and water reductions to the customers", comments Julian Soles, Products Business Line President at FLS.
The order value, which was booked in Q3 2025, has not been disclosed.
