TOMRA’s multidisciplinary team will be able to
determine realistic opportunities, discuss new
trends, and explore established sorting
solutions for industrial minerals, diamonds, coal
and other segments, sharing their expertise and
experience to solve problems and identify all
viable options.
On the potential of advanced technologies,
Tord Svensson, Head of TOMRA Sorting Mining,
has commented: “Sensor-based sorting can
significantly change the way materials are
processed. This has just been proven yet again
with the discovery of the Lesedi La Rona, the
second largest quality diamond ever found in the
history of mining. This remarkable gem-quality
stone was recovered by one of our X-ray
transmission (XRT) machines at the Karowe mine
in Botswana in November of last year. At TOMRA
Sorting we believe many more mining operations
can benefit from separation via sensor-based
sorting.”
ALLU Group will be displaying its M-series
processing attachment for soft rock mining. The
M-Series processes a wide variety of mined
materials, including coal, oil shale , limestone,
dolomite, gypsum, phosphate, salt and other soft
rock. With the extraction of resources from the
ground becoming ever more expensive and
complex, ALLU’s innovative processing bucket,
has the ability to load, carry, crush and place
material either into stockpiles or directly into
trucks. It converts a mine’s wheel loader or
excavator into a high-capacity mobile primary or
secondary processing plant, reducing both
capital investment and operating costs. Crushing,
screening, mixing and loading are achieved in a
one step process that can easily be moved
around a site on a loader and/or excavator. These
attachments can be used in both open-pit and
underground mining without the need for the
huge capital costs associated with a stationary
crushing and screening plant. The ALLU M-Series
attachment allows the processing machine to be
brought to the material and not the material to
the machine.
ALLU Group offers a complete line of
technologically advanced screening, crushing,
and soil stabilising equipment and attachments.
FELUWA Pumpen specialises in the
development and design, production,
international sales and service of positive
displacement pumps for aggressive and/or
abrasive, solids carrying media, i.e. mine slurries
– even at high viscosities. The company says that
the “unique and patented MULTISAFE®
technology with the hermetically sealed
redundant double hose-diaphragms guarantees a
double safety for the transportation of critical
and environmentally hazardous fluids.” Two
hose-diaphragms, arranged one inside the other,
are fixed in the pump head and fully enclose the
media ensuring double separation of the
hydraulic drive end with its moving parts.
The numerous benefits of FELUWA
MULTISAFE® pumps have been well proven
worldwide in the mining industry as well as
minerals processing. Typical applications of such
customised pumps are reactor/autoclave
feeding, tailings disposal, hydrotransportation,
mine dewatering, etc. in which media for coal,
copper, gold, bauxite production or processing
are to be pumped.
MULTISAFE technology offers a variety of
unique advantages:
n Low-wear transport thanks to linear flow
principle
Minimum of fluid-wetted parts
Low maintenance costs
Low spare part demand
Highest efficiency
Reduced energy consumption
Low operational expenditure (OPEX)
The company has very comprehensive knowhow as well as valuable practical experience.
Pumps with wide operating ranges from small to
the largest scale are available, even for extreme
operating temperatures and heterogeneous
mixtures with high solids content – pressures up
to 500 bar, flow rates up to 1,000 m³/h and
driving power up to 5,000 kW.
