The equipment will be supplied by FLSmidth Minerals. The equipment
consists of a Fuller-Traylor gyratory crusher, three FLSmidth
Minerals Raptor XL 1100 cone crushers, one Fuller-Traylor gearless
SAG mill and two gearless ball mills. The equipment will process
95,000 tonnes per day of ore, reducing the ore to a product suitable
for flotation recovery.
The SAG and ball mills as well as the cone crushers being supplied
are the largest to be installed in the world today."The orders confirm the confidence mining customers place in FLSmidth
Minerals' design technology. The relationship developed with
Esperanza's sister company, Minera Los Pelambres, where FLSmidth
Minerals has a complete maintenance contract, played an important
role in the negotiations. As such, these initial contracts provide
further opportunity to supply Esperanza with additional products and
services," Group CEO Jørgen Huno Rasmussen comments.
The orders will contribute beneficially to FLSmidth earnings until
the equipment is delivered in 2009.
