Mining Industry
The mining industry has made great strides in extracting deposits and removing desired material from waste. Mining equipment is more efficient now because it saves energy and reduces the amount of harmful chemicals needed to extract desired material from its surrounding media.
Heavy duty, weather resistant equipment is still necessary to extract, transport, and process minerals, ores, and precious metals from soil, sand and rock.
This innovative mining equipment is more compact and able to process material efficiently, increasing the mining company’s ability to invest in superior machinery without breaking the budget.
Improvements have also been made in the automation of this ground-breaking mining equipment, making it easier to monitor and maintain more machines while reducing overall man hours.
Surface Mining
With over 85% of minerals and 98% of metallic ores extracted by use of surface mining techniques, this is a vital contributor to the US mining industry. Technological innovations made in this area can not only improve the company’s bottom line, but help stimulate the American economy as well.
Grinding and Crushing
Internal and external changes to grinding equipment have increased efficiency and safety. The ability for units to extract minerals with less energy per revolution reduces overall cost of the machinery. The units are also more compact, taking up less room and making them easier to install.
Changes have been made in the use of media in crushing units as well. The ability to use media longer and more effective rotation of the unit, decreases extraction time and increases capacity. The ability to extract ore and minerals quicker allows units to process more material than older units, so fewer units are needed to mine more material.
Reducing need for Chemicals
Reducing the need for arsenic and other dangerous chemicals in the recovery process is better for personnel and the environment. Technological advancements have enabled manufactures to create leaching mining equipment that is more efficient in the recovery process, and less dependent on harmful chemicals. In addition, because these units are saving on energy, there is an increase in cost efficiency.
