TAKRAF Group says it has secured a major contract to design and supply a conveying system for Compañía Minera Doña Inés de Collahuasi SCM’s Ujina growth project, in Chile.

The contract will see TAKRAF engineer and supply the conveying system (CV-8001, CV-8002 and CV-8003) for the project, which has a key objective to increase the capacity of the concentrator plant.

Collahuasi is at an elevation of 4,535 m above sea level and has been in operation since 2003. It is one of the largest copper producers in the world.

TAKRAF’s scope of supply for this brownfield project comprises the design and supply of three advanced conveyors. This system will connect a relocated crushing station to the mine’s existing conveyor network, ensuring efficient material handling under challenging operational conditions.

Andres Costa, Managing Director of TAKRAF Chile and Peru, said: “We are particularly proud and would like to highlight the client’s continued interest in TAKRAF equipment, 20 years after the initial supply. This is a testament to the quality and excellence of our colleagues in designing and delivering exceptional equipment that ensures reliable operation, a fundamental requirement for any mining equipment.”
