The careful alignment of screens and crushers in processing makes for optimal throughput and efficiency, by ensuring that all settings and parameters are ideally matched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Kwatani product can now give their vibrating screen customers added benefits in this regard, being part of the global Sandvik group \u2013 which is well known for its crushing solutions,\u201d says Kenny Mayhew-Ridgers, Regional Business Director at Sandvik Rock Processing Solutions South Africa. \u201cThe advantage is that the Kwatani screens can be specified and optimised with Sandvik\u2019s range of crushers \u2013 ensuring that the key elements of the circuit are perfectly matched.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this year, Kwatani and the mining related business of Schenck Process Group (SP Mining) were incorporated into the Sandvik group within Sandvik Rock Processing Solutions South Africa. Mayhew-Ridgers explains that the screens and crushers in any mineral processing plant are two critical lines of equipment \u2013 and they need to be well integrated to optimise the performance of both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is a risk that operators and service technicians may focus on the one item without taking into account the impact of the other,\u201d he says. \u201cThe settings and parameters on both the screens and crushers must suit the mined material, and must be perfectly aligned for best results.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the crusher is not delivering the required size distribution of material, for instance, the screen will not perform to expectation. The Kwatani product is now able to specify a vibrating screen along with the optimal Sandvik crusher specification, he explains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith Sandvik as the OEM for both equipment lines, we bring our in-depth product insight into how the different equipment will best serve the customer\u2019s specific requirements,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An integrated solution is based on a careful assessment of the nature and size distribution of the material which will be fed into the crushing and screening circuit, says Gavin McLaggan, Lifecycle Services Manager for Africa at Sandvik Rock Processing Solutions South Africa. This opens the door to increased efficiency and bottom-line profitability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAmong the improvements that can be achieved are reduced energy consumption and less wear on the crusher liners \u2013 while gaining more throughput,\u201d says McLaggan. \u201cWhere there are changes to the orebody and resulting material, there may be an opportunity to change the particle size distribution (PSD) and raise the throughput further.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kwatani product\u2019s inclusion into Sandvik has facilitated a valuable two-way sharing of knowledge on screening technology, says Mayhew-Ridgers. This is a considerable benefit for customers as decades of research and development are combined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Achieving the best results in the process circuit starts with matching the crushers and screens, argues Kenny Mayhew-Ridgers, Regional Business Director at Sandvik Rock Processing Solutions South Africa. With the Kwatani product now being part of the global Sandvik group, this alignment becomes easier as customers get the benefit of one supply partner who is focused on both the screening and crushing parameters when designing a solution. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7122,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[177],"class_list":["post-7123","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-client-focus","tag-sandvik-rock-processing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7123","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7123"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7123\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7122"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7123"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7123"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
