FUNCTIONS OF DEWATERING SCREENS IN MINING AND QUARRYING

December 3, 2015

A battle is going on deep down inside mining installations. Technology is doing its best to tame geology. Raw earthly matter coated with dirt and mud has just been freed from a mine face or ore seam, only to collapse into a stream of dirty particulate waste. It’s hard to believe kilos of stubbornly hidden […]

WHAT ARE FEEDERS?

November 16, 2015

In a mining context, feeders are located at the origin point of the extraction process. If we were to send a flying camera zooming down to the vein of mineral, the coal face or ore seam, we’d see huge machinery scraping at the rocky face. The cut and drilled matter is still very coarse and […]

THE DEVELOPMENT IN TECHNOLOGY OF MODERN MINING EQUIPMENT

November 9, 2015

Iron and coal became almost as important as any mineral deposit when the industrial age dawned. The coal provided the energy for steam engines, and locomotives, new workhorses for a new age, used the iron to build their massive frames. A global economy had been established overnight because of these two earthbound resources, and mining […]

EXPLORING THE MINING INDUSTRY: WHY IS THERE A NEED FOR MINERS TO HAVE THE BEST MINING AND QUARRYING EQUIPMENT?

October 23, 2015

Quality is the measure of how well a product is designed and manufactured. In mining and quarrying equipment, quality isn’t just beneficial, it’s an essential part of the operation. The equipment has to function within a challenging environment. Water, a liquid that’s as much a part of the earth as any half-dozen tonnes of dirt, is […]

SHOULD MINING EQUIPMENT AND MACHINERY BE CUSTOM DESIGNED?

October 7, 2015

Surface and underground mines are one-of-a-kind structures. The dig will stick with certain mining conventions and safety standards, but the internal profile assumed by the mine is subject to the whims of geology. Every chamber and shaft has to follow the ore seam or mineral vein, diverting past obstacles as it must. This is all […]
