BHP Billiton today announced that the partners of Samarco had approved the US$3.5 billion (BHP Billiton share1 US$1.75 billion) Fourth Pellet Plant Project at Samarco (Brazil). The expansion will increase Samarco iron ore pellet production capacity by 8.3 million tonnes to 30.5 million tonnes per annum (100% basis). First pellet production is expected in the first half of calendar year 2014.
The investment includes:
- additional mining capacity and a third concentrator at the Germano mine;
- a third slurry pipeline of approximately 400 kilometres in length; and
- a fourth pellet plant and enhanced ship loading capacity at the Ponta Ubu site.
BHP Billiton President Iron Ore, Ian Ashby, said “Samarco is a low cost supplier of high quality iron ore pellets and over the last several years has been very successful in growing its resource base. This investment builds on its resource and operational strengths and will further improve Samarco’s competitiveness and market position.”
In the production of iron ore pellets, the screen is an important stage and part. Before the crushing and grinding, the screening shake and filter the materials. Between crushing and grinding, the screening exists too. They work to filter sand in different size. Aggregate, sand, gravel, pebble, are divised by screening. Roller conveyor is neccessory too. They connect the crushing and grinding machines.
Then in the iron ore crushing and grinding, Zenith provide those machineries: screening, crushing, grinding, and conveying. Crushing is the primary stage of plant. PE jaw crusher, PEW jaw crusher, are usually used as primary crusher for crushing large stones and rocks. Cone crusher works with a cone which is fixed on the bottom. The cone crush the materials by pushing and crashing. Grinding is normally ball mill. And the grinding is divided into pre-grinding, screening, flotation, grinding, flotation, re-grinding. Three grinding step make sure the minerals materials are ground completely.
Smarco is a famous mining company in the world. The iron ore is its strong point. This expansion and investment will improve Smarco's place in the mining industry.
