FINLAND – At 12.2 metres diameter and 8.8 metres long, the new semi-autogenous mill that Outotec is building may well be the largest SAG mill in the world. The huge mill will offer increased efficiency, effective grinding conditions, 15% greater mill capacity, and reduced energy consumption.

The mill will be operated as a single stage SAG mill (primary and secondary duty combined) with very high throughput made possible by the use of Outotec's patented Turbo Pulp Lifter (TPL™) technology.

The grinding mill will be installed during 2014 at First Quantum's Kansanshi copper mine in Zambia. The plant has been in operation since 2004 and Outotec has delivered all the critical processing equipment for the Kansanshi concentrator, including four grinding mills, multiple flotation cells and thickeners.
