The equipment is due to be delivered during 2025. The order includes the delivery of two Ball mills and three High Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGR). The latter is well known to be among the most energy-efficient comminution technologies, as it lowers power consumption, while providing a more stable grinding operation and eliminating the need for grinding media. FLSmidth has supplied most of the equipment for the customer’s original concentrator as well as provided maintenance, spare parts and process support services over the years.
