Increasingly sophisticated equipment incarnations are cropping up in the mining sector. They vary their functions in real-time to accommodate harsh environmental forces. In some cases, instances where technology has really taken root, mines are transformed by telemetry recording sensors and automated systems. Given the successful adoption of such productivity-enhancing machines, perhaps equipment innovations will drive […]

Single-mass (Brute Force) feeders use the ground to balance their destructive energies. Bypassing this floor damaging feature, two-mass machines use inbuilt moving mechanical assemblies that feed off one another. Back with a single-mass system, dual motors and weighted shafts crank out-of-balance parts, and then a linear stroke is imparted. For a two-mass vibratory feeder, one […]

The need to vibrate and process feed material exists across all industries. Even in the food sector, vibratory feeders ingest grain streams. The pharmaceutical sector is the same, with special feed chutes vibrating masses of tiny pills. For the mining industry, coarser material streams are the norm. On placing the emphasis of this post on […]

Essentially, these two competing vibrating screen types have developed differing material sieving motions. For linear vibrating screens, straight line screening dominates, with the equipment deck moving rocky material forwards and backwards. There’s also an amplitude component in the mix, which kicks the loosely packed aggregate up and forward. Circular motion screens simply replace that straight […]

Just about every mineral collecting maw is equipped with “brute” processing power. That’s as it should be, for all of the natural resources chewed up by those heavy duty feeders are raw and unrefined. Frankly, it takes an expert to recognize these rocky chunks. Indeed, gulped down a vibrating pan feeder, it’ll take time and […]
