Slashing energy consumption and carbon emissions in mining! At Weir, we’re committed to reducing the environmental impact of mining. Our recent study highlights the effectiveness of replacing conventional technologies with Enduron® HPGR, STM vertical stirred mills, and Eriez HydroFloat™ CPF to cut energy use by 40% and CO2e emissions by 50%. Since the study was published, we have developed further technology to enhance our transformational flowsheet offering. The HPGR discharge can now feed Weir’s Enduron® Elite screen, allowing miners to reduce energy consumption even further. Read the full article, authored by Bjorn Dierx, Global Product Manager Enduron HPGR and Corné Kleyn, Global Product Manager Vibrating Screens, to learn how our systems-based approach ensures the highest recovery with the lowest energy consumption. #mining #sustainablemining #susainablesolutions #comminution #weir *originally published in July/August issue of Mining Magazine 2024

Enduron® Orbital screens deliver exceptional performance and service life. Featuring an all-bolted construction, there’s no welding in high stress areas. By eliminating welding, we’ve listened to our customers and removed the leading mode of failure in vibrating screens: high stress in welded connections! Enjoy peace of mind and easy maintenance on your site.

Our Artarmon Foundry in Australia celebrates 55 years of operation! Now the largest ferrous foundry in Australia, it started with two adjacent houses in the Sydney suburbs, transforming into a sales office with a small assembly and repair shop for WARMAN® pumps. On 30 July 1969, our own foundry cast its first WARMAN® pump and look how far we’ve come since then! Today our Artarmon foundry is a world-class facility servicing our mining customers with highly engineered original WARMAN® pumps and parts, manufactured in Australia. It’s a legacy we are proud to uphold and continue! #mining #miningequipment #miningtechnology #miningsolutions #warman #weir

It’s no secret that nickel is playing a crucial role in the transition to net-zero, with demand expected to increase by 65% by the end of the decade. Is your nickel operation ready to meet this challenge? Our GEHO® heat barrier piston diaphragm (PD) pumps are designed for pumping high temperature, corrosive slurries at high pressure. Tony Hendriks, our Global Product Manager for GEHO® PD Pumps, and Xiaohong Wei, our Regional Sales Manager for GEHO® PD Pumps, discuss how we manufactured and tested the largest autoclave feed pump in the world, the GEHO® TZPM2000HB. Learn how the unique design is reducing wear, delivering reliability and keeping our customer’s operations performing optimally. #mining #minintechnology #miningindustry #sustainablemining #geho #nickel #weir

We are very proud and excited to be selected as a finalist for the Unearthed Comminution Challenge. As a comminution innovator we will be working with Unearthed, BHP and Sedgman Pty Limited to demonstrate our transformational flowsheet which is enabling more sustainable mining. The Enduron® HPGR, combined with dry air classification, is a less carbon intensive alternative to a conventional SABC circuit and enables micron-sized grinding in dry and arid areas with no viable water infrastructure. We look forward to presenting our proven technology and showing how we can improve the comminution process at BHP and other large scale industrial mining operations. Well done to Bjorn Dierx and the comminution team!
Congratulations Comminution Open Call Finalists! We went out into the world to find innovators with ideas to help us reduce energy consumption or increase throughput by changing the way we crush, pulverise and grind rocks for mineral extraction. Finalists will work together with us to understand the opportunities of their comminution technologies. Think & Act Differently (TAD) are partnering with Sedgman Pty Limited to help us complete a study to compare twelve technologies. The study will understand their potential for materially improving overall comminution system capital and operating costs at scale. We will not only focus on comminution applicability at BHP assets, but also consider other niche applications across the value chain to add additional value. Think & Act Differently work together with innovators in different ways to accelerate technologies that could help us deliver resources more efficiently. Energy and Densification Systems (Pty) Ltd - Rock breakage technology overlapping with tertiary crushing and primary milling. Greenearth Global and Revolution - Controlled vortexes that combine rock-on-rock collisions & rapid direction changes for fragmentation. Weir Minerals - Provides high pressure grinding rolls - alternative to SAG mills. GRolls - Overlapping gyratory rolls at crushing stage - to achieve fine/ultrafine particle sizes. Disa Technologies, Inc. – HPSA (High-Pressure Slurry Ablation) technology, focussing on particle-particle/rock-on-rock collisions.
