UrBC, Yekaterinburg, March 30, 2016. Aleksandrinskaya Mining & Ore Company, a member enterprise of Russian Copper Company, bought a new front loader to improve its ore transportation process, the company press service reports.

‘To make sure a mining and metallurgical enterprise is economically efficient, copper ore needs to be supplied to the ore-dressing plant continually and with no interruptions, as any idle time at any stage of the process can result in financial loss. This is why we choose carefully our ore transportation vehicles: these must contribute to high productivity and not cost a fortune to operate and maintain,’ the press service says.

The new Hyundai front loader arrived at Aleksandrovskaya this month. The HL780-9S model will be used for transporting ore to the ore-dressing plant’s crushing department.
