Pumping 76% rock solids with Flowrox™ hose pumps

Pumping 76% rock solids with Flowrox™ hose pumps

LKAB Svappavaara iron ore mine in Sweden chose Flowrox LPP-T100 transfer pumps for their pelletizing plant. They were looking for a solution that would allow them to pump effectively paste and high-density slurries. "The most important thing in terms of pump performance is that they function reliably. All the other benefits come after that. If a pump is not reliable, there is nothing else to benefit from either", the customer states.

From ten tennis balls to one – cutting 90% of valve emissions

From ten tennis balls to one – cutting 90% of valve emissions

Paris Agreement has set a goal to achieve a carbon neutral world by 2050. However, the United Nations Environment Program’s Emissions Gap Report 2020 states that the world is still heading for a temperature rise more than 3°C this century which is far beyond the Paris Agreement goal. The role of countries and political decision-making has importance in achieving the goal, but the acts of individual companies has equal importance, as the target of reducing emissions requires a huge amount of small action on many different fronts.

Controlling your flotation process

Controlling your flotation process

Flotation is an important part of mineral processing in most mining operations, requiring an accurate, durable, and repeatable level control valve to manage level control in the column, cell, staged reactor, or direct reactor. The head pressure to the control valve from each type of flotation process makes sizing a critical function to ensure proper operation of the valve and performance of the solution. For instance, flotation cells have very low driving head pressure to the valve. Since the head pressure is so low, inlet velocities, outlet velocities, and any bends or elbows in the piping can affect this low head pressure. If all factors are not considered carefully in this case, the danger is mis-sizing the level control valve on the low side.
