CPV 434 – Mineral Processing and Foundry Moulding Machines

What does CPV 434 cover?

CPV Group 434 covers machinery for the processing and preparation of minerals and ores, as well as foundry moulding and casting machinery, procured by public contracting authorities and publicly owned industrial enterprises. Mineral processing equipment includes jaw and cone crushers, impact crushers, ball mills and rod mills, vibrating screens and classifiers, washing plants and scrubbing drums, magnetic and electrostatic separators, and flotation cells. Foundry equipment includes moulding machines, core making machines, sand preparation systems and casting lines.

The primary public sector procurement context for mineral processing machinery is publicly owned quarrying, aggregate production and recycling operations. Municipal and regional road authorities that operate their own aggregate crushing and screening facilities procure this equipment for the production of road construction materials. Waste recycling facilities operated by public waste management companies may procure screening and separation machinery for the processing of construction and demolition waste.

Foundry equipment is procured by publicly owned metal-casting operations, technical universities with foundry training facilities, and vocational training centres for metalworking trades. All machinery under CPV 434 must comply with the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and carry CE marking. Further information on the CPV system is available from the European Commission (SIMAP) and in Regulation (EC) No 213/2008.
