It is expected it will start operating by mid-June when a metal detector should arrive and be put into operation, Radio television Bor reported.

New "HP6" crusher has the capacity of 500 - 800 tons per hour, depending on granulate it produces. Its technical features enable improvement of safety of crushing and thus increase total capacity, Copper Mine Majdanpek says. With an increase of crushing capacity, terms are created that flotation also generates higher production and first of all, it increase hourly performance of mills.

The second crusher of this type is ready to be delivered and both total more than a million dollars and are a part of huge this year’s investments in increase of ore processing capacity in Majdanpek-based Copper mine.
