Metso grinding mill chosen for Kazakhstan
In addition to a grinding mill order earlier this year, Altay Polimetally have also chosen Metso as suppliers of a complete grinding system for their new copper mine in Kazakhstan. The order value is over EUR 30 million.
Altay Polimetally are targeting production of 3 million tonnes per year and, including host rock, 10 million tonsne. The plant is scheduled to begin operation in the last quarter of 2014.
‘Metso have designed this grinding system as a stand-alone unit, taking full responsibility of the plant efficiency. Driven by automated control, the solution is designed to monitor the overall plant efficiency and guarantee maximum ore recovery’, said Serge de Backer, business manager, Crusher Systems, Mining and Construction, Metso.
The order includes process design, engineering, complete equipment supply, controls/instrumentation and electrics, transportation and installation. The project complements two energy-efficient Metso VTM-4500-C Vertimill vertical grinding mills ordered under a separate contract earlier in 2013.
