Grinding plant in mining: the benefits of choosing a complete supplier

The implementation of a complete grinding plant in mining brings several advantages to a mine. Unlike the process of individually selecting equipment, a complete installation speeds up the start of operations, in addition to contributing to better results in productivity and cost reduction.

Today, we will present the characteristics that should be taken into account when choosing a supplier for a complete plant. Concentrating the manufacturing of machines and parts in a single supplier allows for gains for a mining company.

Máquinas Furlan brings together, in a single plant, the Equipment, Foundry and Services sectors, which encompass the entire Reforming part and makes the decision on the most assertive grinding installation.

Check it out.

The objectives of a complete grinding plant in mining

The daily routine of industries is increasingly complex. In the case of mining, the challenges of change require redoubled efforts to achieve specific goals.

The search for innovative solutions goes hand in hand with management issues such as efficiency, profitability and sustainability. The correct balance of these forces ensures competitiveness in an increasingly demanding market, especially when it comes to providing fast, excellent responses to consumers.

This includes the selection of suppliers of equipment and wear and replacement parts. Based on the mining and quarry projects that Furlan Machines receive, it can be stated that, generally, the customer looking for a complete grinding plant is starting their activities or focusing on installations for a new business.

However, there are more general attributes. Every operation seeks greater productivity, cost reduction and fewer maintenance downtimes. The same is true for complete milling plant actions.

The most requested aspect of milling is increased production, followed by the generation of new products for markets not yet explored by the quarry.

The development of the complete installation project also allows us to evaluate the reduction in production costs, such as the adoption of machines with motors that consume less energy than older models.

Furlan Machines: indicating from the part to the equipment

In this process, mining companies generally seek proposals from at least three suppliers of complete installations. The final choice is based on differentials that indicate Máquinas Furlan as one of the main players in the market.

Furlan can supply all the equipment for a grinding plant, as well as other stages of mineral processing, such as crushing and screening. Wear parts are cast internally at the unit located in Limeira (SP), which has a vast portfolio for national and international brands.

Thus, from a single supplier, the mining industry finds solutions that range from equipment to wear and replacement parts that will be in this equipment, such as lining, hammer and liners. The recommendation is personalized, taking into account that specific project.

This represents agility in decision-making, anticipating the plant's operation.

When we talk about grinding, projects usually involve equipment such as: Hammer Mills, Ball Mills, Aerodynamic Separators, Vibrating Chutes, Metal Silos, Belt Conveyors and Screw Conveyors. The Furlan line of equipment is known for its robustness, durability and easy maintenance.

At this point, it is important to emphasize the need for the mill to be in operation as much of the time as possible. Stoppages should only be scheduled, ensuring continuous and safe operation of mills, separators and conveyors, among others.

Another difference Furlan has is the recommendation of parts for the project. Once again, the company can indicate which is the best alloy of material for each application of wear parts, since it has its own Foundry.

Furlan has expertise, but uses technology in decision-making

Furlan's expertise is another highlight. Over its 62 years of operations, the company has developed a highly qualified service structure to serve its customers. Professionals in this area monitor all equipment startups, in addition to guiding and training the customer's operators.

The process also uses digital tools that allow for even more accurate decision-making. To determine the plant's mass balance, Furlan uses AggFlow software, in addition to the equipment and plant design executed in 3D model.

It is worth noting that one of the main requirements of grinding is precise granulometric control. The granulometry of the ground material is essential to ensure the efficiency of the processes.

At this stage, the mining company needs to monitor the mill feed, grinding speed and mill load. We talked a little about mill feed in this post – click here , including the desired ore input and final product output measurements.

So, it's time for your company to bring the project for analysis with Furlan's team. To do this, simply present the plant's production and the desired products, as well as those products specifically.
