Conveying & Screening for the Mining Industry

Cement clinker is produced by heating to high temperature a mixture of substances such as limestone and shale. When cement clinker is ground with a specified amount of gypsum, it will produce Portland cement or when ground with specified amounts of gypsum and other materials it will produce blended cements.

Slipstick Conveyors have found their way into this process replacing buckets or belts. The Slipstick can handle this very hard and abrasive duty, highlighting other qualities of this conveyor including low abrasion, dust tight, low maintenance, and the ability to meter the feed downstream.

Both the Slipstick Industrial Conveyor and the Texas Shaker Vibrating Screen are conveying and screening crushed limestone and quicklime for some of the largest companies in the industry.

A large quicklime producer in Mexico bought their first Slipstick Conveyor in 2007 and over the past 11 years has purchased units for every location across Mexico.

Potash is any of various mined and manufactured salts that contain potassium in water-soluble form. The name derives from pot ash, which refers to plant ashes soaked in water in a pot, the primary means of manufacturing the product before the industrial era.

Today, the Texas Shaker Vibrating Screen, some designed for sizing potash at more than 600 TPH in one machine, are at work at some of the largest producers in the U.S. and Canada.

Triple/S Dynamics equipment has been screening and conveying salt, in various forms, for over thirty years. From conveying table salt to flakes or screening to size salt pellets, the Slipstick Conveyor and the Texas Shaker Vibrating Screen have performed exceptionally well for decades.

The Slipstick Industrial Conveyor is the best choice for moving all types of sand, rock, or silica products. One processor came to us because the dust generated from a cutting process was causing bearings on the existing belt conveyor to fail very quickly.

Access to the bearings, which ran the length of the belt conveyor, was difficult and cumbersome so maintenance was a continual problem. Find out how this problem was solved.

Since its beginnings, Triple/S Dynamics’ dry separation equipment has used air and vibration to separate different densities of products like perlite and vermiculite.

Today, the S-25 Sutton Gravity Separator is separating the light from heavy (expanded from the unexpanded) vermiculite, in a range of separation across the face of the deck. In another application, the Sutton T-15 Stoner makes a two-way stream of heavy and light perlite product.
