🛑 Don't let a flat tire ruin your mining operation! Proper OTR tire pressure is crucial for safety and productivity in underground mining. Regularly monitoring tire pressure is recommended, but it's not always enough. That's where ⛓ LAS ZIRH Tyre Protection Chains come in. These chains offer a layer of protection and distribute pressure more efficiently throughout the tire surface, mitigating the effects of tire pressure problems. Stay safe and productive with LAS ZIRH Tyre Protection Chains. #mininglife #OTRTires #safetyfirst #tireprotectionchains #tyrepressure #pressureontires #miningequipment #miningtires #tiresformining #industrialequipment #industrialapplications #OTRapplications #LasZirh

𝗠𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀? 🧐 In the Oil Sands mining process, "middlings" refers to a pasty slurry with the consistency of yogurt found at the center of a primary separation vessel. As heavier rocks and sand settle at the bottom and lighter oil (air-entrained bitumen) rises, the middlings are carefully extracted for further processing. Since 2004, SlurryFlo control valves (by Special Alloy Fabricators) have been a critical component in this process. These valves are trusted across the oil sands industry to modulate the flow of middlings withdrawal and many other challenging slurries, such as MFT and FFT.

Back to the Basics - 04: Dilution management in surface mines We move the dirt to extract ore that pays to all. Mining is a business run through engineering and both should be economically sound. From the operational viewpoint, dilution management is the primary task to maximise the profit of the mine. The document explains various strategies and technologies to mitigate dilution in open-pit mining. I hope this document helps you understand both traditional and recent technologies in dilution management. #HanwhaMiningServices #HEBS #ElectronicDetonator #Blasting #Dilution #BlastDesign

HDPE vs Ceramic lined mining hose on cyclone overflow bends. What do you prefer and why? For PT Agincourt Martabe gold mine the results are incredible 🤯 💩 Old HDPE pipe bends (left image) = 2100 hours in operation before failure 🏆 New Slurryflex CLX ceramic lined hose (right image) = 17,000+ hours in operation so far They had a clear winner. #mining #reliabilityengineering #maintenance

Mining Short Notes📝 WHAT IS DREDGE MINING? A dredge is the principal piece of equipment used in the dredging method and, essentially, a dredge is a boat containing specialized mining and materials handling components. Accordingly, a dredge requires a body of water in which to operate. In many cases, this is a natural body of water such as a river or a lake, but in others, it is a manmade pond or small lake. Of course, the only reason for floating a dredge is to recover something of value at the bottom of this body of water, such as sand and gravel, or it must be very soft. A dredge is defined by the way in which it recovers the ore from the bottom. The four types of dredging mining which are: 1.      bucket-wheel 2.      ladder 3.      clamshell 4.      suction   Source: https://lnkd.in/gJiKKjaM #academyGEX #theorytoreality #gmrworkshop #geologist
