Mining & Minerals

Mining and minerals processing moves thousands of tonnes of dusty material every day. Crushers, screens, conveyors and loaders all shed dust, and in coal and sulphide ores the dust is both combustible and an ongoing respirable hazard. The challenge is volume: capture points are many and the air is abrasive.

How the industry works

  1. Crushing — primary, secondary and tertiary crushers generate the heaviest dust pulses in the plant.
  2. Screening & sizing — vibrating screens throw fines into the air over a wide area.
  3. Conveying & transfer — every chute, transfer point and stockpile head creates another dust source.
  4. Grinding & milling — ball mills and vertical mills produce fine, persistent dust.
  5. Storage & loadout — silo vents, reclaim tunnels and truck/rail loadout release dust bursts under load.

Where our equipment fits

Process stage Our equipment What it does
Crushers, screens and conveyor transfer points Pulse-jet bag filter Draws dust from hooded transfer points in high air volume; abrasion-resistant hoppers handle the grit.
Coarse, heavy fractions near crushers Cyclone separator Pre-separates the abrasive coarse fraction to protect the filter media downstream.
Dry grinding and milling circuits Cartridge collector Catches fine mineral dust with compact footprint for mill ventilation and bin vents.
Wet or high-moisture zones (screening with water sprays, washing plants) Wet scrubber Handles saturated air and fine clay-bearing dust that blinds dry media.
Maintenance and workshop fume Welding fume extractor Keeps weld and grinding fume out of workshop air in the maintenance bay.

What happens without it

  • Dust settles over electrical rooms, motor rooms and control gear, driving failures and unplanned stops.
  • Coal or sulphide dust layers become a fire and explosion load that an incident can ignite.
  • Fine respirable dust spreads across the site, pushing exposure monitoring over occupational limits.
  • Uncontrolled dust shortens the life of bearings, belts and hydraulic seals in every transfer area.

Why our equipment fits this industry

  • Systems are engineered for the real dust load — air volumes sized from transfer points, not rule of thumb.
  • Abrasion-resistant construction and explosion-relief options are built for hard rock and coal duties.
  • Robust, low-maintenance designs keep uptime high where access is difficult and shifts run around the clock.
