Mobile Mining Unit ( MMU ) - 1 beneficiation plants it delivered to the Australian iron ore producer Arrium , enabling it to transform variable low-grade tailings stockpiles into high grade iron ore product .
In recent years , Mineral Technologies has become the ‘ goto ’ provider for relocatable , modular plants which incorporate core process technology into new lowcost configurations . Roberts sees endless opportunities here . Putting in a modular mining unit ( MMU ), which can process a predicable number of tonnes per hour ( tph ) for a few years and then be moved to another site , makes a lot of sense , saving the customer the capital cost of civil works and construction for a conventional plant and providing a dependable revenue stream . Mineral Technologies is delivering a mobile mining unit to a major mining project in Florida , and is working on developing more such units for customers that are mining mineral sands . “ It moves on tracks and has a hopper above to take the feed – it shreds the material to a pumpable size then delivers it to the processing plant via a pipeline .”
