Distinctiveness of Kovdor Ore Dressing and Processing Enterprise consists of extraction and processing of multicomponent natural and anthropogenic mineral raw materials with the following production of iron ore, apatite and baddeleyte concentrates. Herewith, the low contents of extracted components (Fe, P₂O₅, ZrO₂) into marketable products and complex material composition of mineral raw materials foreordain rather branched technology and scheme of the chain of its concentration equipment.
The article shares the activity of this subdivision and shows the basic realized and planned modernization projects of physical methods and equipment, including the projects, based on the automated systems of the continuous sampling of ore and industrial products of concentrating production.
