Weir has secured a multimillion-dollar contract with an unnamed Chinese company to supply Warman pumps for Phase III of a copper mine expansion in Xizang (Tibet). The contract was awarded to Weir on the recommendation of China ENFI Engineering Corp.
The scope includes two Warman MCR 450 cyclone feed pumps and nine Warman AHPP 20/18 tailings transfer pumps for use in the grinding circuit and tailings facility.
“This contract reflects the strong confidence placed in Weir, underpinned by ENFI’s endorsement and the customer’s proven experience with Warman pumps,” said Jack Wang, sales director of Weir China.
“Together with our end-to-end lifecycle support – from design and manufacturing through to installation, commissioning and ongoing operations – we are helping ensure reliable, cost-efficient and stable performance over the life of this project.”
The expansion will increase processing capacity from 19.9 million tonnes to 30 million tonnes per year, delivering an annual copper output of up to 200,000 tonnes.
