Germany based Allmineral GmbH & Co. K.G; a global player in mineral beneficiation technology has entered into a joint venture agreement with Kolkata-based Jyotirmoyee International Pvt Ltd [JIPL] for setting up a plant in Orissa which will offer complete mineral beneficiation solutions for installations in the country as well as markets in South East Asia.
“The Allmineral Asia – the 50:50 JV Company, is aimed at capitalizing on the opportunity and future potential of mineral beneficiation in the entire South East Asian region”, JIPL managing director, Sabyasachi Mishra told “The ET”.
Allmineral GmbH is no stranger to the country. The Company entered the Indian markets in 2005 through a technological tie-up with Hari Machines Limited (HML) for manufacturing a range of beneficiation equipment at Rajgangpur in the state. Under the joint venture agreement, HML, which has promoted JIPL, will undertake the manufacturing of proprietary equipment, while Allmineral Asia, the newly set up company, will attend to all the customer enquiries, orders, project management, commissioning, after-sales-service, etc.
“Over last four years, Allmineral in association with HML, has made deep in-roads in the mineral beneficiation market in the country and has emerged as a leading mineral beneficiation solution provider”, said Ing Heribet Breuer, the chief executive of the German financial and technical partner and the chairman of the new Indian joint venture.
It has bagged almost all the major iron ore beneficiation projects in India, among some of the large plants handled being of Jindal Steel and Power Ltd (11 million tpa), BRPL of Stemcor Group (4 million tpa) and Essar Steel (8 million tpa), he said.
Allmineral provides complete solutions – from concept to commissioning. It also manufactures key beneficiation equipments like dry jigs, wet jigs and fluidized bed separators. The Duisburg-based company has already expanded its presence in Europe, India, Australia, South America, the USA and South Africa. It also has strategic tie-up with GAUSTEC, Brazil, for manufacturing and supply of new generation WHIMS worldwide.
In the coal sector too, Allmineral has successfully executed more than 15 dry coal beneficiation plants and two wet coal beneficiation plant for various DRI Plants in the Orissa, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand. The dry coal beneficiation is the right solution in Indian context because of scarce water availability and pollution hazards associated with coal slurry generated in the wet plants.
Meanwhile, HML has signed a Technical Assistance Agreement with Cemtec GmbH, Austria, for offering grinding (wet & dry) solutions in the cement industry.
