A casual observer might consider the extractive sector a slapdash setup. They see the toiling machinery processing dirty and wet aggregate streams, but they don’t understand the science that’s subsidising the labour. On screening decks alone, vibrating screen efficiency uses mathematics to assess sorting performance. Now, while this efficiency quotient is derived by plugging oversize […]

It’s not exactly hard to see why inclined screens work so well in a mineral processing application. Gravity is being employed as a supplementary material actuation mechanism, right? The angled deck is sending the loose mineral stream down towards a conveyor or some other processing station. Okay, that image seems to explain this tilted design, […]

If you’ve ever seen fixed plant equipment in and around a working mine or quarry, you’ll have observed the heavy gauge tools as they go about their extractive business. Ground engaging tools are kicking up dust, rugged buckets and hoppers are on the move, and you can hear crushers in the distance. Bridging these stationary […]

Down in an industrious mining or quarrying complex, powerful feeders are conveying extracted material. They’re carrying the discharge, transporting the raw rocky stuff to a final destination. Curiously, the raw discharge can be conveyed by two feeder types, the apron feeder or a vibrating feeder. In making an intelligent choice between the two, we need […]

There’s a whole slew of important factors to consider before the layout of a quarry or mining complex is finalised. Before a single digger or explosive charge is sent forth, feasibility studies are conducted. This initial planning stage helps the development by determining the best possible excavation method. That’s just the beginning, of course, for […]
