OSA Sample Pumps – Vertical Tank Pump

For pumping and feeding a slurry sample to a On-Stream-Analyzer (OSA), the classic pump to use is a vertical tank pump. The market for such OSA sample pump appears dominated by Metso. Irony is OSA’s are made by Outotec or Thermo Fisher Scientific, but you must go elsewhere to pump your slurry sample to the X-ray. … Read more

Deslimer

The deslimer is provided with a central feed box, having a baffled bottom to break the velocity of the inflowing pulp. The bottom, or discharge chamber, has a clear-water inlet, which directs, the flow upward along the axis of the deslimer. The spigot is inserted in a movable holder, attached to the bottom of the … Read more

Vibrating Feeders

Electric Vibrating Feeder The Electric Vibratory Feeder is a vibrator that provides an extremely efficient, simple and economical solution to the problem of making the most stubborn material flow freely. No longer need there be a sticking together of wet ore in the ore bin, or the arching over and hanging up of materials in hoppers … Read more

Mining Excavation Methods

In the previous topic, we saw that blasting is the mining operation used to break the rock mass in order to facilitate the removal of the overburden. We saw that some of the main equipment used to remove the overburden are truck lines, trucking shovels, excavators. In this topic, we will look at some of … Read more

Open Pit Mining Operations

The previous topic has established that surface mining operations include several main activities that include the ore extraction or mine of the material, the overburden excavation and removal, the overburden transport, the waste disposal, the low grade material pile and transport for future treatments or separated process. The ore extraction and the material handling process … Read more

Rotary Kiln Maintenance

Rotary Kiln Alignment The continuity of operation of a lime sludge kiln requires strict maintenance control. The rotary kiln is among the largest type of moving machines made and is subjected to extreme temperatures, power failures, atmospheric conditions, varying loads, and other operating conditions which affect its wear and alignment. It should be erected under … Read more

Rotary Lime Kiln Operation

Precipitated calcium carbonate, commonly called lime sludge or lime mud, is produced when sulphate green liquor is causticized with lime. For many years this lime sludge was considered a waste product and was dumped into rivers or waste ponds, or used for fill around the plants. Large quantities of new lime were purchased from commercial … Read more

Clinker Cooler

The Air-Quenching shaking grate Clinker Cooler was developed more than 20 years ago as an improved heat recuperating cooler for use with rotary kilns. It was designed to air quench and cool large quantities of hot clinker rapidly, and to recover and return to the kiln a major portion of the heat from the clinker. … Read more

PORTABLE SAMPLING PLANT

A great deal of interest has developed in the new portable sampling plant recently designed by Engineers. The plant is substantially as shown but may be adapted easily to the specific needs of the user at the factory or, because of the versatile design, in the field. The functions of crushing, grinding and sampling are … Read more
