Larox, world-leading filter supplier to the chemicals processing and mining industries, has recently received a number of significant orders from India and Mexico.

Deliveries from Larox factories in Finland and The Netherlands will take place at the end of 2005.

The delivery to India to Tata Chemicals Limited Mithapur plant in Gujarat State consists of two units of large size vertical pressure filters. Mithapur plant is the largest and most integrated inorganic chemicals complex in India. It has four main product groups: soda ash, chloro-caustic group, marine chemicals and salt, and cement. Larox has supplied several filters earlier to Tata’s Mithapur plant.

The deliveries to Mexico are for mining and metallurgical applications. Two units of vertical pressure filters will be for zinc and copper concentrate filtration, two units of polishing filters to be installed to a zinc refinery leach process and one unit of horizontal vacuum belt filter to be used for lead-silver residue filtration. Filters will be installed to two separate locations in plants operated by companies belonging to the same group. Also to this Mexican company Larox has earlier supplied several filters.
