Mills, parts and cost reduction: the most accessed content of 2023

The Minerando blog presents the 5 most accessed content throughout 2023. Concern about costs emerges as a major new development. There has been an increase in the demand for content that addresses the topic.

Those who searched for the most visited topic on our blog were also interested in the best applications related to wear and replacement parts in mining plants. Trends in equipment, such as hammer mills and rotary dryers, had a high number of hits.

The new development is the increased interest in ESG (an acronym in English that addresses corporate practices related to sustainability, social actions and governance).

See the blog's top 5 in 2023.

1. Ball mill: practical tips and the importance of the supplier

In mining, ball and rod mills generate final products with very fine particle sizes.

The choice of supplier must be made carefully. The mining industry must look for equipment with a high capacity to reduce the size of materials, as well as robust, productive and durable machines.

2. Dryers and calciners in mining: which is the best choice?

The market has signaled an increase in demand for rotary calciners and dryers. The blog recalled that, in this search, mining companies must be aware of the type of rock that will be processed and the desired yield in the operation.

Another point is to evaluate, together with the supplier, the best configuration regarding the type of flame.

The content also talks about the durability of Furlan equipment and parts, which reduce unscheduled maintenance downtime. See here

3. A project with Unicamp that highlighted sustainability

One of the goals of the Minerando blog is to reflect the culture of Máquinas Furlan, and to also pass on the best management practices to partners.

This was the case with the content about the project developed by the company together with Unicamp, which highlighted improvements in products and services that impact sustainability.

This theme is gaining momentum with the various corporate audiences that are increasingly demanding regarding ESG. Energy savings and reduction in raw material consumption are among the objectives.

4. Mining companies review costs; learn about the example of hammer mills

Mining and quarrying companies are increasingly seeking to increase productivity, while at the same time improving the quality of their final products.

High yield must be linked to lower production costs. The post showed, in practice, how to combine these factors, based on the operation of a hammer mill.

5. Linings in mining: how to make the best choice

Steel alloys are important when we analyze the production process and the company's installation. They are found in the parts, which represent up to 60% of a mining company's production cost.

In August, we talked about coatings in mining in this post . And the public rushed to find out which are the best metallurgical alloys for each type of operation. The best cost-benefit depends on the supplier's profile, which indicates these alternatives.
