Mining Equipment Performance Test and How It Can Affect Mining Accuracy and Efficiency

January 15, 2019

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 mining equipment sector any different? Absolutely not, for there are equipment performance tests to run. Tailored so that the benchmarks maximize peak equipment efficiency, the […]

Workflow of a Quarry Crusher Plant

December 14, 2018

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 towards the sky. There are also large arrays of equipment encircling the stockpile. There’s a work face, where explosive charges and drilling equipment are breaking […]

Principles of Mineral Processing and How Inclined Screens and Screen Size Matter

December 4, 2018

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 and powered solenoids snapping shut. Still, among all the energized machine parts, inclined screens are performing their own role in the mineral processing sequence. Angularly […]

Understanding Copper Mining in Australia

November 19, 2018

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, the Olympic Dam mining complex, located in Southern Australia, mines over 200,000 tonnes of the industry-essential metal every year. Clearly, Australia has a vested interest […]

Nickel Mining and Processing: How Mining Equipment Can Help Do the Job

November 7, 2018

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 ten materials all have their place. Their roles in the industrial world are all instantly recognizable. So, what’s nickel’s role? And why is nickel mining […]
