FLSmidth to supply feeding system for aluminium smelter
Company Announcement to the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority No.
35-2012, 27 September 2012
FLSmidth has won a contract worth USD 48m (approximately DKK 280m) from the
Venezuelan, state-owned aluminium company, CVG ALCASA, for engineering, supply
and installation of a feeding system for the company's aluminium smelter, which
is located approximately 500 km southeast of the Venezuelan capital of Caracas.
The scope of supply includes a self-regulating, continuously working automatic
pot feeding system with a capacity of 22 tonnes per hour for each of the two
production lines. The lines consist of a total of 400 electrolytic cells. The
feeding systems are completely enclosed and consequently dust free. The
automated system will generate operational savings and optimise feeding
operations.
The project is part of a USD 400m refurbishment plan with the purpose of
bringing CVG ALCASA's technologies up to state-of-the-art.
"Earlier this year FLSmidth received an order in Abu Dhabi for the same type of
pot feeding system which is now to be delivered to ALCASA. So this order will
further strengthen FLSmidth's position in the global aluminium smelter
industry," Group CEO Jørgen Huno Rasmussen says.
The order will contribute beneficially to FLSmidth's earnings until mid 2015.
