The new Majishan Port Ore Preparation Centre has successfully carried out its first fine ore blending and shipping process.

The order was sent to Zhoushan City in China’s Zhejiang Province on April 15.

The ore preparation centre was created with investment from Baowu Jingcheng (Zhoushan) Mining Technology Co and co-funding from Baowu Resources and Chongqing Steel.

CISDI was the EPC-based service provider and the project was the first launch of its diversified ores intensified blending expertise.

It is a breakthrough in ore deep processing at a port and plays a major part in creating a demo for ore preparation plants around the world.

It follows on from CISDI’s construction of China’s Minmetals Caofeidian Ore Trading Centre in Tangshan City, Hebei Province.

At Majishan, smart, green, optimal and innovative concepts were introduced throughout ore proportioning and intensified blending, central scraper feeding, belt scale weighing and online measuring.

Technological applications for multiple flying dust collection and clean transport have ensured the entire production process meets environmental standards.

The fine blending system continuously supplies reliable, high-quality blended ores thanks to its online automatic composition analysis, real-time monitoring and full-range precision control.

Fine blending core tech for proportioning and intensified blending reduces costs, increases flexibility and requires only a small footprint.

Once ramped up, the system’s fine blending capacity will hit 20 million tonnes a year, transforming Majishan Port from trans-shipment only to processing and trading.

CISDI’s team maintained a close interaction with engineers and prevented any site issues by minimising the impact of the pandemic and typhoons.
