The crushing plant is the first part in the processing and concentration technology of the baddeleyte-apatitemagnetite ores, extracted in the main open pit of Kovdor Ore Dressing and Processing Enterprise. This plant includes: ore breaking and conveyor complex in the open pit, which provides the coarse breaking of ore and its delivery into the building for average and fine breaking; building for average and fine ore breaking to the coarseness by minus 15–20 mm with its delivery into the building of magnetite-concentration plant for crushing and following concentration; continuous handling system – the heavy belt conveyors and feeders with the dumping stations and facilities.
The article shares two basic investment projects: reconstruction of the buildings for average and fine breaking; new construction of the mechanized homogenizing stockpile of finely-broken ore.
