Beumer Group has announced the successful commissioning of a pipe conveyor system at Hindustan Zinc’s Rajpura Dariba mine in India. It says the project was delivered with exceptional project execution and the highest safety standards, achieving zero Lost Time Injuries (LTI).
The company stated: “Special thanks go to the Hindustan Zinc project team for their invaluable support and collaboration throughout. Their commitment played a key role in reaching this milestone.”
The pipe conveyor system is engineered to safely transport hazardous tailings over 1.4 km, with a capacity of 950 t/h. Designed to support Hindustan Zinc’s Go Green initiative, Beumer says this solution not only enhances environmental safety but also features one of the sharpest curves in the industry, with a horizontal radius of just 110 m.
Rajpura Dariba mine was commissioned in 1983, and is an underground operation situated 75 km northeast of Udaipur, Rajasthan. Mining is carried out using the long hole stoping method with backfilling by paste & hydro filling; ore transportation is via skip hoisting and LHD-LPDT combination. FLS supplied an integrated dry-stack tailings solution and 1.8 Mt/y paste fill plant which was commissioned in 2023.
Last year, Beumer invested more than INR2 billion in a new, state-of-the-art production city in Reliance MET City/Jhajjar. The new production site it said will further strengthen Beumer’s global factory footprint as well as boosting the continued success of its Beumer India subsidiary. The inauguration of the new plant is scheduled for September 2025.
Beumer Group has been active in India since 2003. Initially catering to the cement industry exclusively, Beumer India has grown significantly over the years and now offers solutions for a number of industries including minerals and mining.
