Nord Minerals completed and commissioned a turnkey floating pump station for the water reclaim system of a new tailings storage facility at one of Kazakhstan’s largest gold and copper mining operations. Designed for reliable year-round operation in temperatures from –45°C to +45°C, the station includes four ROITECH pump units (2 duty + 2 standby), delivers 600 m³/h at a head of 35–55 m, and features Schneider Electric-based automation, dual-compartment pontoons with leak detection, vacuum priming, heated discharge pipelines, and an energy-efficient anti-freezing bubbling system. During project execution, the pumping system was also modified to supply two reservoirs independently.
As part of a modernization project, Nord Minerals conducted a comprehensive assessment of a customer’s processing plant, analyzing both processes and equipment and identifying significant potential for improving gold recovery through the implementation of gravity concentrators.
Nord Minerals engineers provided technical support during the pilot commissioning of the customer’s existing FLS gravity concentrators, working jointly with representatives of the manufacturer.
As a result of the test, the equipment demonstrated gold recovery levels 5–6 times higher than those specified in the technical requirements. Based on these results, the customer decided to install 29 full-scale FLS gravity concentrators.
In 2026, Nord Minerals supplied ROITECH HSS1836 and HSS2448 horizontal vibrating screens to a major chromite producer in Kazakhstan, replacing Vibramech units. The screens were designed to fit existing mounting dimensions, enabling installation without structural or wiring changes. Nord Minerals also reinforced wear zones and improved fastenings. The equipment has been successfully commissioned and is running at design capacity. The equipment was successfully commissioned and is operating at design capacity.
As part of the project for a lead-zinc ore processing plant, ROITECH pumps and a cone crusher were supplied. The new equipment showed less than 5% wear after six months of operation and has been running without failures for over a year. The developed 3D model of the workshop helped optimize equipment placement and ensure precise installation, improving process reliability. The supplied cone crusher enabled the enterprise to exceed its production plan within the first quarter.
