Case Study
Hudbay Minerals – Bulk Sampling Plant
The project is located near Snow Lake Manitoba that was for a turnkey supply of a new bulk sampling tower. The process entails producing a representative 30kg sample from a 100T stockpile that is produced by the mine. In all, 6,000T of material was fed to the plant. This comprised of: ROM from the Feed Bin is conveyed to the sample tower by the feed conveyor. The ROM is then split twice before being crushed and further split to produce a representative sample of the feed stockpile. This 30kg samples are then sent away for metallurgical testing and analysis. Challenge - Timing was the main constraint.
