FLSmidth. - gyratory crushers and apron feeders to Chile

FLSmidth has been chosen to provide two gyratory crushers and three apron feeders to a copper and gold mine in the Antofagasta Region of northern Chile.

The order is for two 1400x2100 TSU Gyratory Crushers and three Apron Feeders of varying sizes. The FLSmidth equipment is specifically designed for high performance and cost-effective operation due to low servicing and maintenance needs. Each crusher’s capacity is 2,500 mtph, while the feeders operate at 2,500 t/h (speed: 0,25 m/s). FLSmidth’s TSU Gyratory Crusher is specifically designed for extreme applications, where extra motor power and heavier sections are needed and where reliability and minimised maintenance are key factors. The TSU also provides higher throughput capacities.

“This order is fantastic news for FLSmidth as it demonstrates our strength and competitiveness in the crushing and comminution area. It is a great vote of confident from an important and large mine operator to choose FLSmidth gyratory crushers for their first such purchase in 20 years. Ultimately, this order comes as a result of our close work with the customer and our effort to understand their specific conditions. This meant we could provide the right productivity- and sustainability-enhancing solutions and service,” comments Claudio Garcia Bernal, FLSmidth Regional President for South America.
