Kyrgyzkomur Seeks Sorting Complex for Kara-Keche Coal Mine

Kyrgyzkomur, the state-owned coal enterprise of Kyrgyzstan, has announced a tender to acquire a sorting complex for its Kara-Keche coal field. The company is seeking a roller sorting complex, including its supply, installation, and commissioning, with an estimated procurement cost of 58.2 million som (approximately $660,000).

The new equipment is intended for sorting brown coal and separating fine fractions directly at the Kara-Keche mine, located in the Jumgal district of the Naryn region. This facility is described as the country's largest coal mining site. The sorting complex is expected to process at least 1,000 tons of coal per hour and operate continuously, 24/7.

Technical specifications require the equipment to function reliably under challenging conditions. This includes handling coal with up to 20% moisture, high dust levels, and extreme temperatures ranging from -45 to +45 degrees Celsius. A critical acceptance test mandates the complex to run under load for at least 72 hours, demonstrating its sorting quality, energy efficiency, and safety system reliability. The equipment must also come with a minimum 24-month warranty after commissioning.
