Shavkat Mirziyoyev Inaugurates New High-Tech Facility at AMMC

President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev visited the Almalyk Mining and Metallurgical Complex (AMMC), where he inspected the operations of a new copper concentrate filtration plant. This facility is a critical component of Copper Concentration Plant No. 3 (MOF-3) and represents a significant milestone in the national strategy to establish a robust copper cluster.

The Head of State personally observed the production process and met with the enterprise’s workforce. Currently, the new facility employs approximately 130 specialists. Its design capacity is set to reach approximately 917,000 tons of copper concentrate per year.

The plant is equipped with state-of-the-art machinery, including high-performance industrial filter presses, pumping units, and innovative sludge and water circulation systems. These technological solutions comply with international energy efficiency and environmental standards, enabling the recycling of processed water back into the production cycle. Construction is now fully complete; three out of five filter presses have already been commissioned, while the remaining units are undergoing final startup and adjustment.

During the visit, a formal ceremony was held to mark the collection of the first copper concentrate samples. The development of massive industrial projects such as MOF-3 at the Almalyk complex consistently attracts the attention of the international professional community.

The advanced technologies and modernization expertise of Uzbekistan’s leading enterprises are expected to be among the key discussion points at the upcoming "INNOPROM. Central Asia" International Industrial Exhibition in Tashkent.
