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. n n n n n n PROVEN PERFORMANCE IN THE MOST EXTREME CONDITIONS.
