Measuring performance improvements for newly installed chutes helps provide mining customers with the assurance that the new product will reduce total cost of ownership.

Weba Chute Systems highlights that it provides a scientific approach to measuring the performance of its chutes, to ensure that its products are performing optimally.

According to Weba Chute Systems ISO systems manager Izak Potgieter, the company conducts in-depth product measurements, such as measuring dust levels of conventional chutes on the mine before its product is installed, to be able to show the customer that the new product offers superior dust management properties.

“Our measuring procedures include a dust analysis programme that can compare a conventional chute with our custom-engineered product,” he says. “Our report to the customer sets out the details of our methodology, the results and the implications in terms of the Occupational Health and Safety Act.”

Of particular importance is the exact quantity of smaller dust particles, in the size range below 0.3 microns, that are generated by material passing through the chute. Potgieter highlights that seeing the precise data from these scientific measuring techniques is an assurance to the customer of the value delivered by its chutes.

The company also conducts detailed measurement in the maintenance of transfer points, to reliably model the accuracy of maintenance for individual applications. “Our model tracks tonnages through the chute and the wear of vital components, among other factors, to calculate the wear life remaining,” he says. “This not only provides factual proof of the component lifespan that we predict to our customers, but also allows them to accurately plan their proactive maintenance – ensuring uptime and productivity.”
