On October 13^th , the first medium-sized plate feeder in the beneficiation area of the Ruida Qifengpa Project of the African Company was put into no-load operation for 4 hours under the witness of the owner. All indicators were checked normally and the individual unit test run was qualified. This is another key milestone following the successful power supply to the 10KV distribution room, marking that the construction of the Ruida Hydrometallurgical plant project is coming to an end and it is beginning to move towards the stage of joint commissioning and feedstock trial operation.

It is learned that the wet process plant is located in the Northwest Province of Zambia. This area is remote and has inconvenient road transportation. To ensure the smooth and timely progress of the test run, the project team established a test run group in advance, compiled a test run plan, and planned and deployed the materials needed for the test run. Before the test run, all the participants in the test run were organized to conduct a briefing on the test run plan, clarify the scope of responsibilities of the participants, and arrange for professionals from each field to carefully inspect the mechanical components, lubrication, electrical circuits, protective devices and guardrails and other supporting facilities of the equipment one by one to ensure a smooth test run process with clear organizational division of labor and safe and reliable implementation. Ultimately, through the joint efforts of all parties, the milestone of the first equipment test run in the entire venue was successfully completed.

This successful trial run not only demonstrated the project team's indomitable and tenacious spirit of striving, but also highlighted their outstanding teamwork and technical strength. They overcame a series of unfavorable factors such as the shortage of drawings, equipment, materials and resources, took measures to actively adjust, and smoothly achieved the trial run goal, taking a crucial step towards the subsequent joint commissioning and coordinated feeding trial operation of the project.
