Bottlenecking, material flow stoppages, extremely high energy usage… do these challenges sound familiar?
If so, you’re not alone. Many mining companies struggle with issues related to poor material flow every day.
Key challenges include:
- Plugging Issues: Material flow issues that can lead to unsustainable operation and significant process downtimes.
- Design Inadequacies: Utilized equipment is often generic, and not specifically designed to handle a material’s unique characteristics.
- Wear Prediction: Predicting wear life from basic properties is complex and influenced by many factors.
Material handling challenges and their costly consequences are common in the mining industry, but you don’t have to accept them. With the right approach, you can fix ongoing issues and avoid problems in future.
