FLSmidth Discover Mining FLSmidth Discover Mining LEADING TEST FACILITIES To find the optimal solution for Volcan Compañía Minera’s processing plant, engineers from Cerro de Pasco travelled to FLSmidth’s R&D centre and test facilities in Salt Lake City, USA. Here, FLSmidth offers leading test expertise in precious metals, base metals, and industrial metals. The facilities include crushing, grinding (including ultra-fine grinding capabilities), gravity separation, hydrometallurgy (ambient and autoclave technology), column leaching and flotation. Flotation equipment includes mechanical test cells...

8 FLSmidth Discover Mining FLSmidth Discover Mining A new patent pending skip discharging mechanism for vertical shaft mines increases ore hoisting capacity. The new Crank Type Dump Mechanism (CTDM) is a game changing substitute to hydraulic actuated systems, which significantly lowers total cost of ownership. The hoisting system is the heart of an underground mine. he CTDM offers a production increase T and requires less maintenance compared to hydraulic discharging. Depending on the hoisting cycle, replacing a scroll option with the CTDM production could potentially increase production by 10-15%. While...

FLSmidth Discover Mining FLSmidth Discover Mining PERFORMAN Reduced flocculent consumption and improved operational performance are the results of a thickener upgrade at a large Australian gold mine. leach feed thickener was creating a bottleneck in a gold mine in Western Australia. The installed thickener was an existing ‘off-the-shelf' product, neither supplied nor installed by FLSmidth. As the on site maintenance contractor, the client asked FLSmidth's team of specialists to assess the performance and offer a solution to improve productivity and overall performance. As a result, FLSmidth's...

FLSmidth Discover Mining ne way to overcome bottlenecks is to include a consistent design factor throughout the engineering process. This requires solid knowledge of the ore, open and transparent cooperation and sharing of expectations between the mine owner, engineers and equipment suppliers. Setting the design criteria based on shared expectations and common ground enables the parties to design a solution with focus on total cost of ownership, rather than lowest capital investment. “A consistent design factor on all equipment might mean a slightly larger initial investment. However, it is much...

FLSmidth Discover Mining Spotlight on Data mining FLSmidth Discover Mining ? pplying big data is a window of opportunity to optimise productivity of new and existing mines. Optimising productivity in the mining industry is much needed, as we continuously have to dig deeper and in more remote locations to feed the world’s hunger for minerals. Recent McKinsey studies foresee a future where digitalization helps us build a better understanding of the resource base but currently the industry uses less than 1% of all data collected. However, truly benefitting from digitalization requires direction,...

FLSmidth Discover Mining Spotlight on Data mining FLSmidth Discover Mining Predict maintenance through data mining We are producing data like never before and machinery is now equipped with sensors that collect data about performance and environment. Efficiently utilising data for predictive maintenance is an example of how digitalization optimises performance and cost effectiveness. ata is of little help to plant management if the organisation does not have the capability to analyse and act upon it. “In the last decade, data analytics has become increasingly important in order to optimise processes....
