The order, from a long-standing Indian mining customer, includes the delivery of 18 vertical tower mills (called FTM-5000) to be used in both the secondary and tertiary grinding circuits, directly downstream from two of the world’s largest high-pressure grinding rolls (HPGRs), which the customer ordered from FLSmidth in 2024. The order also includes 30 Krebs UMD pumps and 18 Krebs gMAX hydrocyclones to complete the secondary and tertiary grinding circuits’ process requirements. The slurry pumps will be the largest known size in Indian mining.
The equipment is expected to be installed and commissioned during 2026/2027.
“Winning this strategic order is a proud moment for the FLSmidth Mining team. The combination of the upstream HPGRs and vertical tower mills will provide the customer with significant reductions in energy, water and grinding media consumption throughout the entire flowsheet, supporting optimal profitability,” said Mikko Keto, CEO at FLSmidth.
