Automated optical image analysis (OIA) is a relatively cheap, robust, and objective method for mineral and textural characterization of iron ores and sinters. OIA allows reliable and consistent identification of different iron oxide and oxyhydroxide minerals, e.g., hematite, kenomagnetite, hydrohematite, and vitreous and ochreous goethite, and ...
So far, the Slurryflex CLX hose has lasted five times longer than the ceramic-lined steel pipe and eight times longer than the rubber-lined steel pipe. That means less downtime and better plant performance. For the reliability engineer and his team, there's a sense of relief in fixing a problem. They no longer have that sense of dread waiting ...
Cyclone feeds & distributors: Rio Tinto Tom Price. Rio Tinto's Tom Price maintenance team made a few design changes and doubled the lifespan of the cyclone feed clusters. They were frustrated by endless bandaging on kinking and splitting feed hoses. So they shortened and standardised the hoses across all the clusters. This does two things.
