European Industrial Equipment and Spare Parts for Chile
Chilean copper concentrators, SX/EW plants and lithium brine operations run at altitude and in highly abrasive, saline duty. European slurry pumps, gearboxes, drives, valves and instrumentation dominate these circuits, and unplanned downtime is expensive.

Chile sourcing questions
Can you source wear parts to a drawing?
Where no part number exists, send dimensions, material specification and drawings and we approach suitable European manufacturers.
Do you supply mining contractors as well as mines?
Yes — mines, contractors, EPCs and maintenance providers.
How are altitude and abrasion handled?
Duty conditions are recorded on the RFQ and used to verify the technical match before a quotation is issued.
