The Chuquicamata mine, situated in Chiles north, has been in operation since 1915 and is owned by Codelco, Chiles stateowned copper mining company. Codelco is the worlds largest producer of copper and second largest producer of molybdenum.
A mining conveyor is a type of machine used to move ore or waste material generated by mining operations. These types of conveyors, while similar to smaller conveyor machines, are much larger and designed to carry very large loads. Some types of mining conveyor may carry hundreds of thousands of tons of raw ore per day over long distances, in some cases more than a mile ( km).
The application portfolio includes integrated systems for different types and geometric configurations of conveyors in the mining industry. The overland conveyor for Xstrata Coppers new Antapaccay mine in Peru was reported in this article last year (October 2011, Conveyor belts used in mining typically use considerable amounts of energy.
Mining is an aroundtheclock operation where employee safety and zero downtime are critical requirements for your conveyor systems. You need to maximize the movement of your material and minimize the risk of damage to equipment or personnel. You need a partner like Cooper Industries. Cooper, now a part of Eaton, offers a large portfolio of
Phoenix Conveyor Belt Systems is the global technology leader for the design and production of tailormade conveyor belt systems. Phoenix steel cord and textile conveyor belts operate in a reliable, economical, and environmentally friendly manner, in surface and underground mining.
Mining conveyor systems To meet worldwide demands for raw materials, underground mines and openpit mines are being established in increasingly remote areas. Every year, billions of tons of bulk materials such as ore, coal, copper ore, and mining waste have to be moved powerfully, reliably, and efficiently.
Mining, Metals, amp; Minerals Processing Equipment. The mining, crushing, washing and drying of many metals and minerals is accomplished by the use of conveyors. Copper, Iron ore, taconite and uranium are metals that are conveyed using KWS Screw Conveyors and Belt Conveyors.
The types of conveyor belts used are dependent on the work required. PVC Conveyor Belts PVC conveyor belts, or otherwise known as solid woven conveyor belts, are used in the mining sector to transport aggregates, materials, and fines from the mine (whether openpit or underground) to the mine plant and/or the stacker system.
Copper extraction refers to the methods used to obtain copper from its conversion of copper consists of a series of physical and electrochemical processes. Methods have evolved and vary with country depending on the ore source, local environmental regulations, and other factors.. As in all mining operations, the ore must usually be beneficiated (concentrated).
This month''s Spotlight Feature Article, from the pages of the October 2013 issue of International Mining magazine, focuses on equipment and technology application for conveyors in mining. John Chadwick examines some impressive new installations and new component technologies for conveyor systems.
