730-ton copper concentration ball mills have arrived at Sungun
Iran's Copper Industry on the Path to a Major Production Surge
me-metals: The ball mill shells for the Phase 3 expansion project of the Sungun Copper Complex’s concentration plant — weighing a total of 730 tons — were transported to the project site after traveling over 1,900 kilometers from Bandar Abbas to East Azerbaijan.
According to me-metals cited by Mes Press, Carried out over 48 days using ten ultra-heavy-duty prime movers amidst the country's unique circumstances, this complex operation — due to the substantial dimensions and weight of the equipment — ranks among the country's rare instances of transporting ultra-heavy loads.
The ball mills for the Sungun Concentrator’s Phase 3 are strategic components of the grinding circuit; with a power rating of 21 megawatts each, they will become the largest ball mills used in the country's concentration plants upon installation and commissioning.
The Sungun concentration plant's Phase 3 project is currently underway with 68% physical progress; with an annual processing capacity of 21 million tons of sulfide ore, it will add 450,000 tons of copper concentrate to the country's annual production.
The arrival of this equipment marks a significant step toward completing one of the National Iranian Copper Industries Company’s major development projects and increasing production and processing capacity at the Sungun Copper Complex.
