Engineering methodologies are applied with painstaking effort. We all know the drill. A proof of concept becomes a drawing board plan, prototypes are constructed and feasibility studies conducted. Is the...
Massive machines are scrunched down inside working quarries. Seen from the road, assuming there’s an opening in the open pit, there’s at least one mountain of recently excavated aggregate climbing...
On a large-scale mineral processing deck, moving parts orient themselves when aggregate loads drop free of vibratory feeders. Everything about the equipment feels kinetically charged, so there are motors buzzing...
Imagine a world without copper. Without it, electrical wires and pipes would disappear overnight. Industries can’t exist without the malleable metal, nor can a thousand essential applications. Meeting their needs,...
Nickel is the fifth most abundant element on our planet. Iron is more common, and there’s plainly more oxygen around. As for iron and aluminium, silica and carbon, these top...
Was there ever a time when mining equipment was primitive? Presumably so, but that time has long since vanished into the past. Take vibrating screens as one example of the...
In mining equipment, all vibrating screens use some form of kinetic excitation. Linearly casting ore up and forward, freely vibrating screens use a simple excitation mechanism, plus gravity to move...
Rich in combustible carbon, mountains of coal once powered the steam engines that energized the industrial revolution. Even today, Australians enjoy their home comforts because 73% of all generated electrical...
When differently sized mineral loads need dynamic sorting, mining equipment manufacturers are on-site to recommend a best-in-class solution. The company representative talks about vibrating screens, but there’s no end to...
Brute force vibrating pan feeders are extraordinarily robust. Just look at the large horsepower motors, the steel-reinforced feeder troughs, and the larger-than-life springs. They’re built tough, as heavy machinery marketers...
Built from extra heavy-duty parts, with materials that are as durable as they are flawlessly designed, vibrating grizzly feeders chew their way through first-cut discharges of boulder-like rock. Its frame...
Two-mass vibratory systems are built to carry out heavy-duty actions onboard dynamic screening decks. There’s reciprocating motion going on inside the mining equipment. It’s so finely tuned and realized that...
According to engineering dictionaries, mechanism-based turnkey solutions are defined as those that are implemented as end-to-end systems. Everything that’s required to make the equipment productive is preinstalled and prepped to...
The purpose of this post is to demonstrate the capabilities of stone crushing equipment. In particular, we wish to study the different crusher types and discover how each form factor...
Last time around, there was talk of particle size and gravity. Inclination angles were discussed, and then stratification patterns were considered. This time around, let’s support the case studies with...
Unbreakable laws physically direct differently sized particles when they’re screened. Gravity plays a part here, as does the oscillating stroke of the vibrating deck, all so that the different masses...
The mining industry couldn’t function without its bridging transport lines. The conveyor equipment carries coarse loads across kilometres of tunnels and land. They operate continuously while strong winds blow, driving...
Gold, a lustrous and valuable metal, is excavated from mines in large quantities. No doubt, there was a time when prospectors acquired the burnished yellow ore by pulling out rusty...
Inclined de-watering screens process dirty slurry streams. Let’s see, the muddy extract has come down the tilted screen at an angle. Up to this point that water has acted as...
Brute force feeders are shaped as massive alloy-toughened troughs. The design has to be simple because a “less is more” maxim suits heavy industrial equipment. When it comes to mining...
Ore scarcity pecks at mining profit margins. As the minerals run dry, the tunnels cut deeper. Meanwhile, the demand for building site aggregate is spiking for the umpteenth time. There’s...
Mining and quarry work requires the use of heavy-duty equipment that is reliable and durable as you probably already know since you are in search of it at present for...
If you think the differences between dry and wet screen mining are limited to the presence or lack of water, then you’re missing several important points. First of all, wet...
Let’s picture engineering mathematics as the governing force that regulates mining vibratory screen capacity. In these engineering formulas, the screening media is shaped by the unique properties of the mined...
