Project Scope
The Grasberg Open Pit Mine located in Indonesia is the largest gold mine and third largest copper mine in the world, owned by PT Freeport Indonesia.
The crushed ore is transported to the mill stockpiled via the 4.9km inclined conveyor system with a 19,500 kW installed motor power.
The mine produces 600,000 tonnes of copper, 55 tonnes of gold and 170 tonnes of silver per year.
PROK engineered, manufactured and supplied 30 conveyor pulleys for the DMLZ project in Paupa, Indonesia. PT Freeport needed conveyor pulleys that require low ongoing maintenance, as maintenance underground in confined spaces is more difficult and time consuming.
