Zapoljarny overview
Loading conveyors were delivered for flexible loading either into containers or a train wagon. Approximately 383 000 tons of nickel concentrate pass through the system each year.
Laitex scope of supply included filter cake conveyor system, container loading equipment, a train wagon loading system, and commissioning supervision. Loading conveyors are connected to an automation system to keep the dosing volumes stable.
Flexible loading conveyor system
Laitex implemented a tailor-made solution for the concentrator plant on a tight schedule. The material flow of the conveyor can be driven in two directions depending on where the material is loaded. With Laitex’s own loading technology, the sea container and the train wagon are filled evenly and weighing errors are reduced.
The two loading systems give the concentrator the freedom to use different modes of transport. Hence, long supply chains between the concentrator and refinery plants remain better controlled.

Many industrial plants have their specific conveying needs due to layout restrictions or specific process conditions. Laitex aims to answer such requirements with wide product offering.
Concentrator plants
The material handling of the concentrator plant includes technologies which take the dry process flow forward. Laitex’s applications for dry material handling are suitable for conveying crushed ore before slurry handling and concentrate after dewatering.
