As higher volume throughputs force mining operations to play catch-up, older woven wire screening solutions are falling out of favour. In order to keep up with current and future demand, abrasion-resistant engineering plastics are being pressed into service. An engineered polyurethane screen, vibrating its heavy aggregate load, can handle abrasive forces that older screening solutions […]

For blinding issues on vibratory screens, look for a thick, mucous layer. It bridges the apertures and blocks them with dirt. Pegging issues are similar, except now there are tiny bits of material blocking the screen openings. But there will always be lumps of gunge in mining. It’s the same with solid material aperture blockages. […]

Ore sieving forces fall in line as soon as they reach a screen. At least that’s the theory. In reality, a few processing factors can adversely affect screening decks. Flow wetness is one of those factors. Bear in mind, this is a mining environment, which means there are uncontrollable geological elements in play. To deal […]

Mining equipment operates on the literal ragged edge of civilization. The gear is out there, in and under the remotest locales, providing state-of-the-art features. Built to function reliably under unpredictable conditions, the equipment shrugs off heavy impacts and high-volume abrasive collisions, all while delivering the very best productivity margins. Let’s see how a purchaser views […]

Let’s take a closer look at the variables that affect vibratory feeders. Remember, this is where the mining process starts, right after the aggressively effected excavation work has completed. The maw of the feeder admits a heavy stream of broken down minerals, the dual-excitation stage chews through the bulk material, and a variable frequency drive […]
