BJD Crushers, a crushing and size reduction equipment manufacturer, has supplied a major order to a new copper mine and smelting plant in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)
The order included two BJD 24x30 Hammermills with 90kW drives (both running at 40 TPH) which would be used for processing copper concentrate from rotary dryers. The contract, which was awarded following the company’s successful completion of a similar project in Poland, took eight months from the initial order to shipment and was delivered on schedule and within budget.
BJD Hammermill crushers, that can be supplied with adjustable breaker plates, produce high reduction ratios and feature capacities of up to 500TPH depending on duty.
Peter Mills, senior project consultant at BJD Crushers, commented, “We were honoured to supply BJD Hammermills to one of the world’s largest copper mining projects following previous success in this sector.
“The customer envisages a 19 million tonne production scenario and required industry proven machinery to service this high-grade copper mining operation. The BJD Hammermills will be used to reduce the copper concentrate oversize material to a predicted 2mm particle size.”
