World's biggest mobile crushing plant sold by Metso to Kazakhstan
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Metso Corporation's press release on June 28, 2012 at 09:00 a.m. local time
The giant jaw plant saves environment and costs by decreasing dump truck traffic
at an open pit copper mine.
Metso will supply world's biggest fully mobile, track-mounted crushing plant to
Altay Polimetally LLP copper mine in Kazakhstan. The contract also includes
large mobile feeding and conveying systems to move the crushed copper ore for
further processing, and installation supervision and training. The complete
value of the order exceeds EUR 11 million.
"We can judge the Altay Polimetally as a significant contract of an interesting,
growing market area. Today, open pit mines are studying globally the possibility
to save costs and environment at primary crushing and conveying stages by
decreasing on-site ore trucking. With Metso's large scale, fully mobile
equipment, we can well meet this customer demand," comments Jorma Kempas,
Business manager, In-pit crushing solutions from Metso.
The giant mobile jaw plant will be used at primary crushing stage at Altay
Polimetally's new open pit mine, situated in the Karagandy region. Metso's
mobile crushing equipment to Kazakhstan will be delivered within the last
quarter of 2013. The order is included in Mining and Construction's second
quarter 2012 orders received.
A large-scale mobile crushing and conveying process
The almost 400 ton weighing Lokotrack LT200 - biggest ever built - is the key
part of the system. The unit processes copper ore with a nominal capacity of
2500 tons per hour. The complete mobile system weighs over 800 tons, though can
be moved easily along the mine face.
To withstand the harsh climate conditions during the winter, the whole mobile
system is electric driven. The operational temperatures at the mine site vary
from +35 C to -35 C.
At the new open pit mine, the blasted copper ore is fed using Metso's MAF210
mobile apron feeder to Lokotrack LT200 jaw plant, and then conveyed using
Nordberg LL16 mobile conveying system, and track-mounted stacker to the mine's
conveyor network.
The loading height of the tracked mobile apron feeder is 6 meters, and it has a
feed hopper volume of 24 cubic meters. The LT200 jaw plant, equipped with
Metso's biggest C200 jaw crusher, can crush ore feed lumps up to 1,2 meters in
size.
The wheel-mounted LL16 mobile conveyor has two conveyor elements, each 42 meter
long. The track-mounted stacker has a discharge height between 3-10 meters.
Altay Polimetally LLP, based in Almaty, Kazakhstan, will extract at the new mine
copper ore including gold. The planned ore extraction will be 3 million tons per
year, and including host rock 10 million tons.
