As is known, the AMMC continues the implementation of a large investment project “Development of the Yoshlik I deposit”, within the framework of which a number of facilities are being built.

Including copper processing plant No. 3 with a processing capacity of 60 million tons of ore per year.

On May 30, the Chairman of the Board of JSC Almalyk MMC visited the facility, observed construction work and talked with specialists.

MOF-3 design work is supervised by specialists from the Italian company Wood, control and acceptance of project documentation by Technip Energies (Great Britain), technical supervision of the construction by Worley Parsons Uzbekistan Engineering.

More than 12,000 specialists are involved in the construction of the factory, 1,200 units of special equipment are involved. In parallel, about 4,000 more workers are involved in the construction of infrastructure facilities of the future factory. At the same time, these are specialists from different regions of our country and abroad.

The construction company completed the construction of the foundation of the crushing equipment building, the foundation for the installation of fine ore crushing equipment, the foundation of the ore preparation equipment, the foundation for the supporting walls of the flotation equipment, the dry screening building, and the construction of the coarsely crushed ore warehouse.

Currently, builders are installing large ball mills measuring 7.3x13 m. A total of 12 units of this equipment will be installed.

12 sets of electric motors and 14 sets of transformers from ABB Switzerland Ltd for ball mills, 12 sets of hydrostatic bearings and 12 sets of toothed crowns from CEMTEC (Germany), 12 sets of cylindrical sizing trommels from NAIPU (China) have already been purchased and delivered. for flotation machines, 7 sets of gearboxes and 6 sets of motors from Thyssenkrupp (Germany) and 7 sets of gearboxes and 6 sets of electric motors from Metso Outotec (Finland).

In parallel, work is underway at the infrastructure facilities of the future factory. For this, an additional 4,000 employees were involved.

Earthworks were completed to build the foundation of the tailings dam in the amount of 7.5 million cubic meters. The drilling of 71 (out of 114) wells for the construction of water supply facilities has also been completed.

The construction of an external power supply substation with a capacity of 650 MW has been completed.

It is noteworthy that all technological processes of the new copper processing plant will be fully automated using modern equipment. This reduces the influence of the human factor on technological processes, improves product quality, and also reduces the likelihood of accidents.

It is important that as a result of the commissioning of the new factory, 6,000 new jobs will be created.

We add that simultaneously with the start of construction of the copper processing plant No. 3, work began on the design of MOF-4.
