Eriez® has announced the expansion of its extensive B-series line of heavy-duty electromagnetic vibratory feeders with four all-new B-HC high-capacity models. Boasting nearly 70-100% greater capacity than previous models, these feeders offer the widest capacity range in the industry, capable of delivering controlled amounts from just a few pounds to 1,089 t of bulk material[…]

Weir is showcasing its all-of-mine capabilities at this year’s MINExpo 2024, in Las Vegas, this week. It is launching its ESCO® NEXSYS™ GET Lip System for rope shovel dippers, which lowers lip maintenance requirements, extends tooth and adapter life and, ultimately, provides miners with longer uninterrupted shovel operation. Weir will also be unveiling its new[…]

FLSmidth has signed an agreement to acquire TIPCO Tudeshki Industrial Process Control GmbH (Tipco), a technology company based in Aachen, Germany. Tipco is the developer of cutting-edge sensor technology that can measure the particle size distribution of different mass flows, which offers strong applications across FLSmidth’s Mining portfolio, the OEM says. The technology will initially[…]

Metso is expanding its polishing filtration product family with the addition of the GM (Glass Media) filter, designed to, the OEM says, remove insoluble organics in battery metals processes by using very efficient and patented coalescing media. With its cost-effective and modular design, the GM filter increases the recovery and recycling of valuable process chemicals.[…]

With the mining industry’s growing understanding and openness to the benefits of digitalisation and artificial intelligence (AI), it was only a matter of time before some of the big OEMs ventured further into the software development space. That time is now with Metso having, today, opened a Digital Design and Development Studio in Krakow, Poland,[…]

Bunting says it has developed three designs of Permanent Crossbelt Overband Magnet (PCB), with different magnetic polarity, to suit an ever-expanding range of applications. Overband Magnets are mounted over conveyors to separate ferrous metal from non-magnetic material and are commonly used in industries, including mining. The magnetic field of a Permanent Crossbelt Overband Magnet (PCB)[…]

Metso says it has launched a “breakthrough hydrocyclone technology” in the form of the MHC Hydrocyclone Curved Bottom (CB), a cyclone designed for superior particle separation with increased unit capacity and coarser cut sizes while minimising the fines bypass. The MHCTM CB hydrocyclone is ideal for grinding circuit classification – from primary to fine grinding[…]

Metso says its Sorocaba foundry and rubber factory in Brazil has received carbon-neutral certification in line with PAS 2060:2014 standard from an independent third-party, BSI. The supply chain operations are pivotal to Metso’s overall CO2 footprint, with the Sorocaba foundry and rubber factories accounting for around 20% of Metso’s own operation’s CO2 emissions, according to[…]
