Siemens will set up conveyor systems to carry iron ore from the stockyard belonging to Rio Tinto in Australia to the loaders at a port in the northwest region of the country.
Siemens roped in an engineering firm Sinclair Knight Merz to provide conveyor systems for the project.
Siemens would commission three conveyors in August and another five in 2014 while delivery is underway for the two phase project. The company will install the drives into the conveyors to carry ore from the stockyard to the port.
Rio Tinto, which is a UK based mining and metals company , aims to increase its ore export volume by 123 million tonne every year.
Rio Tinto will acquire 18 Pennsylvania-made GenIV Robicon Perfect Harmony drives, 18 China manufactured H-Compact, 1400 kW, 6.6V, 6 pole motors and eight Australia made Simotion control systems for its facilities at Cape Lambert in Pilbara, Australia.
