ThyssenKrupp Industrial Solutions has won a contract valued in the “higher double-digit million EUR” range to supply a material handling system for the new Oyu Tolgoi underground mine.
The conglomerate will supply a total of nine conveyors with a combined length of 9.5 km, as well as seven transfer towers operating at a design tonnage of 7,100 tons per hour. First production from underground is expected in 2020.
“One of the richest underground copper deposits in the world will soon be accessed with the help of high capacity gearless driven conveyors from ThyssenKrupp,” reported the company on July 25.
From a depth of nearly 1,400 meters beneath the Gobi Desert, the new underground material handling system is planned to transport 95,000 t/d of copper ore up to the surface. The main components are four high lift conveyors each equipped with 1.6-meter wide steel cord belts and dual 5,500 kW gearless drives from Siemens. Further conveyors will feed the main incline conveyors and tie the new underground system into the existing process facility.
