Copper Installation- Deep Dive into Efficiency                                                                                                                  The Scenario: Using the current footprint, the customer wanted to replace an existing screen in a Sag Mill copper installation with a General Kinematics STM-SCREEN™. The SAG discharge screen experienced surges of material (25%-40% solids) from the SAG mill, which overloaded their existing screen. During these frequent overload […]

    Heading into a new year and a new decade, we would like to take this opportunity to look back at some of the highlights. Take a look at the most popular GK blog posts of the 2010s: 1.) The Different Types of Plastics and How They are Recycled This breakdown of commonly used […]

At General Kinematics, we know downtime can be scary – especially if you haven’t prepared for it. Most facility and operations managers think they’ll catch a problem in time, but for thousands of facilities, the frightening reality is they don’t.

When it comes to your vibratory equipment, maintenance and high-quality parts are critical.  That’s why we’re talking about the importance of rocker legs and slats, as well as how to properly maintain them to get the most out of your vibratory equipment.   Rocker legs  Rocker legs, also called stabilizers, eliminate vertical and horizontal deflection […]

We’ve talked before about the importance of monitoring equipment for safety and improved productivity, but how can you set up your systems and equipment in a way that makes this level of monitoring easy? And how does the Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) play into your decisions and monitoring processes?  Technological Improvements in Monitoring With […]

Ready to operate in off-the-grid locations for mining and aggregate industries, GK can now operate its vibratory equipment using the power of the sun. General Kinematics’ prototype solar-power system has a total of 30 square feet of solar panels, a bank of eight, 6V storage batteries, and additional equipment. This arrangement allows the stored DC […]

This just in: Americans only recycle 34 percent of discarded materials. While this number is up dramatically from only 6 percent in 1960, the U.S. still falls behind other developed countries. Germany currently leads the world race in recycling municipal solid waste with a whopping 68 percent recycling rate, and countries like Austria, South Korea, […]
