Once completed, the plant is expected to become one of the largest copper concentrators in the world.

FLSmidth’s expected deliveries include High-Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGRs), screens, copper and molybdenum flotation, vertical re-grind mills, concentrate and tailing thickeners, concentrate filters, gravity concentrators, samplers as well as pumps, cyclones and valves (PCV). 

The execution of the individual orders will be led by FLSmidth’s Global Product & Technology Centre in Salt Lake City, USA with the support of localised resources and services.

"Uzbekistan is undergoing a rapid economic development, and its mining industry plays a pivotal role in this,” said Mikko Keto, CEO of FLSmidth. “We are very excited to support the country’s continued development through our collaboration with Enter Engineering and Almalyk MMC on the development of this new copper concentrator production line. Being chosen as the key strategic partner is a clear testament to the strength of our full flowsheet offerings and to our proven global execution capabilities."
