1. APERTURA IMPULSADA POR EL PUNTO DE DOLOR

Managing the logistics of a new or relocated iron ore crushing plant presents significant, costly hurdles. The process of exporting a complete crushing plant involves complex engineering and logistical challenges that directly impact your project's budget and timeline. Are you facing delays due to protracted onsite assembly? Are you concerned about component damage during ocean freight? Is your capital tied up in excessive port handling and customs procedures? These operational realities translate into tangible costs: extended nonrevenue periods, budget overruns from unplanned repairs, and delayed production rampup. The central question is how to transition a highcapacity iron ore crushing plant from the manufacturer to your mine site with maximum preservation of capital, minimal downtime, and guaranteed operational readiness.

2. DESCRIPCIÓN GENERAL DEL PRODUCTO

This service encompasses the professional Export Packing, Containerization, and Shipping of Complete Iron Ore Crushing Plants. We manage the transition from factory acceptance to delivery at your designated port. The operational workflow is methodical: Primero, a detailed PreShipment Inspection and Dismantling Protocol is executed by certified engineers to prepare the plant for transit. Segundo, a Customized Crate & Skid Design phase ensures each major component (trituradoras, pantallas, transportadores) receives structural protection tailored to its weight, center of gravity, and vulnerability. Third, Strategic Containerization & Stowage Planning optimizes space across flat racks, open tops, and standard containers to control freight costs. Finalmente, we handle EndtoEnd Documentation and Logistics, managing bills of lading, customs paperwork, and tracking. This solution is designed for stationary and semimobile plants up to 1,500 Capacidad de TPH; fully mobile trackmounted plants follow a different protocol.
