MINEXPO ON D isplay New smart linings indicate early signs of wear Weir Minerals showcased some of the products from its mineral processing portfolio at MiNExpo 2012 attendees were able to see Floway vertical turbine pumps isogate heavy duty slurry valves designed for highly abrasive and corrosive applications linatex rubber liners which exhibit improved resilience strength and resistance to cutting Warman pumps designed to easily handle large sized particles in dense abrasive slurries and offers the right combination of ruggedness durability efficient hydraulics and materials Weir Minerals also introduced the linatex Wear indicator system at MiNExpo 2012 it is an early warning system for hoses that handle highly abrasive materials in mining operations it is a 24 hour monitoring system that transmits and receives information relaying the message to mine operators onsite www weirminerals com Crusher reduces maintenance time Telsmiths T900 cone crusher is designed to deliver maximum uptime productivity safety and ease of maintenance amid a mines around the clock operating demands Offering a capacity output range from 550 to 2100 mtph with up to a 15 in feed size the T900 boasts 900 hp performance For reduced maintenance time and costs the T900 is designed with eight cylinders The unit also offers an anti spin feature that prevents head spin to extend manganese life like other key components it is mounted on top of the machine to offer top service access its also designed to operate with pressure lubrication oil while eliminating the use of a gearbox and a separate hydraulic circuit www telsmith com Modular unveils safety management tools Modular Mining systems inc released its new Minealert safety Management Tools The company says technology can play an integral role in helping mines reduce the number of operator involved safety incidents While no single approach can mitigate all safety risk the Minealert toolkit brings together the companys safety related technologies into a cohesive suite with a focus on the following high risk areas fatigue management proximity awareness predictive collision detection and speed monitoring The suite supports Modulars approach to safety by addressing operator competency and situational awareness www modularmining com W S Tyler launches 10 ft wide double eccentric screen W s Tyler introduced a 10 ft wide version of its F Class vibrating screen during MiNExpo 2012 The F Class offers the only double eccentric screening solution for challenging applications that require minimal vibration transmission during operation This allows for the use of multiple machines within the same building or structure without the same reinforcing measures required to house traditional vibrating screens Owing to its consistent G force the F Class is also known for its ability to keep screen openings clean thus avoiding the pegging of material and making the processing of sticky material possible W s Tyler president Florian Festge said the F Class is a viable option for customers who were previously forced to invest in much more expensive technologies such as exciterdriven screens For these clients the F Class offers reduced capital expenditures combined with enhanced screening performance The 10 ft wide F Class follows a tandem design Two completely new modules measuring 10 x 12 ft and 10 x 16 ft were engineered By forming any combination of these two modules machine sizes of 10 x 24 ft 10 x 28 ft or 10 x 32 ft can now be configured The F Class in tandem design can also be operated at variable speeds and with different angles of inclination between the modules thereby creating a banana type effect The result is a fully customized screening system adaptable to meet the needs of almost any application also at MiNExpo W s Tyler announced a vibration analysis partnership program for customers www wstyler ca www pitandquarry com November 2012 piT QUaRRy 25
