One AFP M1500x77 chamber system to Erdenet in Mongolia to filter copper concentrate. The contract includes one additional system in the future. This complete system supply contract includes the rolling cross head, air compressors, filter feed pumps, water pump, all automatic valves and instruments associated with fully automatic operation.
