Mining Screens Overview Mining screens are designed to separate materials, such as aggregates, coal, ores, and more, by particle size. Once separated, the minerals can be further refined for processing or recycled into products. Mines are often harsh environments, so equipment wears down from abrasive materials, high temperatures, humidity, and heavy impact loads. Mining screens […]

Mining 4.0 Defined Mining 4.0 derives from Industry 4.0, a term for the fourth industrial revolution. Several other industries have their own version of Industry 4.0, such as Foundry 4.0 for the foundry and metalcasting industry. For mining specifically, this revolution is characterized by the integration of modern mining technology, increased automation, and the use […]

The Importance of Lithium Whether you’ve heard of it or not, almost all of us use lithium in some way or another in our day-to-day lives. Reuters has projected the demands to increase by over five times by 2030 due to the growing use of high-tech devices like electric vehicles and smartphones. Lithium-ion batteries power […]

Copper Added as a Critical Mineral In its latest assessment, The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) added copper to its list of critical materials in the medium term due to projected demands as the U.S. shifts towards cleaner energy sources such as solar and wind. Copper’s addition to this list makes it eligible for government […]

What is Potash? The name “Potash” comes from how the substance originated. From the industrial era, potash was created from leaching wood ashes in a pot. During this time, the uses for potash ranged from manufacturing soap and glass to gunpowder. What is Potash? Potash is comprised of several inorganic compounds of potassium within a […]

Mine tailings are one of the biggest environmental concerns in the mining industry. They are the materials left over after the desired product, typically minerals are extracted from ore through different mining processes. The type of mineral and the physical and chemical processes used for mining can cause the characteristics of mine tailings to vary, […]

When it comes to buying the right equipment for your mining operation, there are a number of factors to consider. From your budget to the size of your operation and beyond, it’s important to do the research so you install the equipment that is going to help your operation thrive. But you’ve likely already considered […]

Since civilization began, people have used mining techniques to access minerals in the surface of the Earth. Discoveries have shown that flint pebbles were extracted from deposits in France and Britain as far back as the New Stone Age. Ancient Egyptians mined copper as far back as 3000 BCE. In the earliest days, mining was […]

In 2016, a CPP coal mine site in Australia wanted to handle higher ash seams than the CPP had been designed for. It also was looking to recycle coking coal tailings to produce a thermal product. To achieve this, the mine needed an increased reject screen capacity of up to 1000 tph from their current […]
