State-of-the-art mining technologies on display
Mining technology company Weir has outlined its planned exhibit for this year’s Electra Mining Africa show, noting that monitoring and control technology will be a major focus.
A fully mobile crushing and screening plant, the Weir Modular Wheeled Plant (WMWP) and the latest digital solutions for smart mining will form part of the range of solutions on display. The WMWP is a mobile plant mounted on an on-road trailer, allowing it to be moved to site and set up as a ‘plug-and-play’ solution.
The mobile plant is particularly suited for the aggregates and small scale mining sector and for road projects requiring aggregate crushing at various points along the route says Weir process and products director Mufaro Muzvondiwa.
“Our exciting Motion Metrics mine operation monitoring systems will be one of the main features at the show,” adds Muzvondiwa. “These systems provide mines with real-time particle size analysis of material carried on shovels, loaders, conveyor belts and haul trucks – helping to avoid blockages at the crushing stage and optimise the mine-to-mill value chain.”
Using stereoscopic vision combined with AI, Motion Metrics cameras leverage machine learning to enhance its predictive capabilities and provide actionable insights to customers, says Muzvondiwa.
The company’s intelligent solution which features condition monitoring technology, will also be showcased with the use of three-dimensional conceptualisation to show potential benefits such as safety, savings and maintenance optimisation.
The company will also display its latest pumps, screens, cyclones, valves, liners and ground-engaging tools and Muzvondiwa says that Weir will highlight its focus on sustainable mining and its original equipment manufacturer service centres and partners across Africa which provide technical support in close proximity to mines.
