Sandvik has received a major order to deliver crushing and screening equipment for LKAB's new sorting plant in Malmberget, Sweden. The order is valued at approximately SEK 175 million and was booked in the second quarter of 2026.
The order includes cone crushers, double-deck screens, and vibrating feeders. All equipment will be delivered with Sandvik's Automation and Connectivity System (ACS), integrated into LKAB's plant control system, enabling enhanced operational control, data-driven decision-making, and proactive maintenance. The solution combines advanced technology with Engineered-To-Order (ETO) design to maximize productivity, efficiency, and product quality in line with LKAB's specifications. Deliveries are expected in the second and third quarter of 2027.
"We look forward to further strengthening our collaboration with LKAB and supporting their operations with the latest technology, innovation, and service capabilities," says Richard Harris, President of business area Rock Processing at Sandvik.
The sorting plant is expected to be operational in 2028. It will process 24 million tons of magnetite ore and one million tons of hematite ore annually. In the sorting plant, the ore is crushed, screened, and magnetically separated - a crucial first step before the crude ore proceeds to beneficiation and is transformed into fines and pellet products.
