Forward Momentum in Material Handling
New technologies increase efficiency
“In Brazil, 70% of production is iron ore, although we believe that copper will also grow in Brazil. In Brazil, our pumps, HPGRs, and ball mills are the equipment most in demand.”
Humberto Valladares, CEO, FLSmidth Brazil
“Sensor based sorting is a mega trend in the mining sector, primarily due to its status as a dry processing technology, resulting in notable energy and water savings. By isolating valuable materials from waste streams, it not only minimizes the processing of unnecessary materials but also diminishes landfill waste and actively promotes resource conservation.”
“Neuman & Esser’s mills are specialized in fine grinding, as well as special distribution of particles. The better the size reduction, and the better the distribution of particles, the better the efficiency of processes in either the final application of the product or downstream for the concentration of the mineral. Having high-end technology in process applications can result in significant energy savings for the client.”
Rafael Serpa, Sales and applications general manager, Neuman & Esser
“The future of the mining industry does not solely depend on the widespread adoption of automation and artificial intelligence systems. These technologies should be viewed as tools to assist employees in concentrating on tasks that require more analytical abilities, such as innovation.”
