The FLSmidth Minerals equipment to be supplied consists of one
gyratory crusher, two gearless SAG mills, four Dual Pinion ball
mills, 33 SmartCell(TM) flotation cells (roughers and scavengers) and
a combination of smaller WEMCO® and Dorr-Oliver® Flotation Cells
(cleaners).
The gyratory crusher and mills supplied to Penasquito are some of the
largest crushers and mills existent in the world today. The two lines
combined will be able to process 130,000 tonnes per day of ore making
the installation the largest plant installed under one roof at one
time.
First installed in Chile in 2003, the WEMCO® SmartCell(TM) Flotation
Technology from FLSmidth has proven successful in many areas of the
world exceeding hydrodynamic and metallurgical performance of smaller
cells. With this order of 33 SmartCells, Penasquito joins the list of
premier mining installations for large cell technology."These orders confirm the strength of the new FLSmidth Minerals and
the success of the integration of Dorr-Oliver Eimco, as the orders
unite both FLSmidth Minerals and Dorr-Oliver Eimco core technology
equipment," Group CEO Jørgen Huno Rasmussen comments.
The orders will contribute beneficially to FLSmidth's earnings until
the equipment is delivered in early 2009.
