In June, Larox received four major new orders to supply filters to mining companies in South Africa, Zambia and India. Total value of the orders is some €10 million. Deliveries will take place at the end of this year and during the first half of 2007.

The repeat order from South Africa is for three units of the biggest Larox PF Automatic Pressure Filters for Platinum Group Metals (PGM) concentrate filtration. The contract also includes a comprehensive service package.

The delivery to Zambia is for a copper mine and consists of a large size Larox PF filter for copper concentrate filtration. An iron ore producer in India has placed a repeat order for two Ceramec Capillary Action Disc Filters for pellet plant feed filtration.

Larox says the orders received "indicate the continuing very strong activity, especially in the global mining industry and strengthen further Larox’s position as one of the world’s leading filtration solution providers.
