This important expansion project, which aims to increase bauxite exports by 5 mtpa, was awarded to TAKRAF in late 2016 and comprises Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) of a greenfield wagon (railcar) unloading (tippler) and primary crushing station as well as a secondary crushing station and a brownfield conveyor system.
The scope of supply also included three TAKRAF sizers, with a primary sizer in the pit beneath the tippler and two secondary sizers. These sizers, as well as the apron feeders, were designed and fabricated at our Lauchhammer fabrication facility in Germany.
