A manufacturing group in India has selected Tenova TAKRAF to supply a slew of equipment in the country, the equipment manufacturer has said.

In the past few months, the group awarded three separate orders to TAKRAF India for the supply of equipment to the group’s operations across India. “These awards serve to boost TAKRAF’s association with an important global group and their rapid growth plans,” the company said.

The three recent projects include:

• A combined stacker/reclaimer: As part of the proposed stockyard system for one of the group’s iron ore mines, TAKRAF is designing and supplying a stacker/bucketwheel reclaimer with a stacking and reclaiming capacity of 2,500 t/h;
• Two large-sized portal scraper reclaimers: As a part of an integrated steel plant’s expansion plan (from 5 Mt/y to 10 Mt/y), TAKRAF is supplying and installing two large-sized portal scraper reclaimers for handling iron ore/coal/flux. The machines will travel on a 49 m rail gauge and deliver 1,800 t/h, Takraf said;
• Two large-sized bucketwheel reclaimers: In assisting the group in expanding part of its port handling facilities, TAKRAF is supplying and installing two large-sized bucketwheel reclaimers. Each of these identical machines will handle iron ore, dolomite, coal and limestone with a peak capacity of 6,000 t/h each.

K Gopal, TAKRAF India Managing Director, said: “These projects are a testimony to the engineering design, capability and quality of the products TAKRAF is able to deliver and we look forward to working with our partners in achieving their global growth plans.”
