Centamin’s Sukari Gold Mine (SGM) in Egypt is one of the world’s largest gold-producing operations. To keep production high, every piece of equipment must run at peak performance. When SGM noticed their primary gyratory crusher was losing efficiency, they knew they needed a partner who could provide more than just a quick fix. They needed a long-term solution that would increase reliability and keep their people safe.
The project finished 38 hours earlier than the 11-day target.
Zero safety incidents. As the team noted, not even a "Band-Aid" was required.
The crusher returned to full feed ahead of schedule, protecting the mine’s production targets.
This project was about more than just hardware. During the shutdown, the SGM crushing crew received hands-on, on-the-job training from our engineers. This transferred vital knowledge to the local team, ensuring they have the skills to maintain their equipment for years to come. At FLS, we don't just solve the problem of today; we innovate to ensure your success tomorrow.
SGM faced several serious technical issues with their 1400 x 2100 TS Gyro crusher that threatened to halt production. The primary problems included:
Centamin decided to replace the bottom shell rather than repair it to ensure future reliability. As the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), FLS was the natural partner to lead this complex upgrade.
Our dedication to customer success means finding ways to work smarter. For this project, we introduced several purpose-built tools:
We are so appreciative of FLS' support throughout this project. The collaborative approach resulted in excellent execution from both teams and all works were carried out in a safe manner and completed 38 hours ahead of planned time.
