Practical strategies for meeting throughput requirements with cost-effective system design, analysis and upgrades

Bringing you the best in bulk handling engineering!

Bulk materials handling is the backbone of a mine site, so it is essential that you design, construct and expand your systems to successfully address bottlenecks and ensure that your system’s throughput is meeting expected levels. Mining IQ is proud to present Mine Site Bulk Materials Handling Forum 2010, specifically tailored to meet the needs of those working with bulk materials handling on mine conveyors and in processing plants.

This two-day forum outlines how to improve your system’s processes, covering topics like conveyor design, equipment selection, system modifications and upgrades, risk management, and budget control. If you’re serious about improving your systems and improving throughput, then you cannot afford to miss this unique opportunity!

Bringing you the best in expertise from across the project, mechanical, mechatronic and structural engineering, this forum is sure to provide you with practical, outcome-driven insights for how best to achieve the throughput you need in a rising economic environment. With a skills shortage on the horizon, it is essential that you develop yourself and your team by hearing from the best in the business.

Why Should I Attend the Mine Site Bulk Materials Handling Forum?

The conference agenda was developed using research directly from senior mechanical engineers, project engineers, processing engineers and project managers. This means that all the topics are directly relevant to you and your project! Case studies from sites across Australia will combine with expert research presentations in order to demonstrate not only what is being done now, but also where bulk materials handling is heading in the future.

Topics include:

  • Effectively Utilising 3D Engineering Tools for Improved System Design
  • Analysing System Constraints for the Effective Distribution of Time and Money
  • Dealing with Rough Terrain for your Bulk Materials Handling System
  • Predicting Bulk Material Flow and Behaviour for Mining and Handling Operations
  • Outsourcing Fabrication for Bulk Materials Handling Systems

Featuring TWO Inclusive Workshops for Practical Outcomes

Many conferences will just bring you talking heads with very little interaction or guidance on the best way to achieve practical outcomes. We won’t make the same mistake. The Mine Site Bulk Materials Handling Forum 2010 will directly address two key areas of improvement in extended and interactive workshops. Furthermore, these workshops are included in the conference price.

On the first day we bring you the inclusive workshop titled Obtaining both Current and Future Throughput Requirements: Balancing Capacity and Spending by Determining Overload Rates. This workshop will be presented by industry expert Gary James of Minerva Engineering, who will evaluate the best way to achieve balance between your budget and your throughput by effectively addressing the determination of overload rates.

The second day will bring you Peter Wypych of Wollongong University and the Australian Society for Bulk Solids Handling. He will present the workshop on Reducing Commodity Loss and Controlling Risk by Minimising Spillage. Spillage can have a serious impact on mine site earnings over time so it is essential that you effectively identify issues early and address the problems thoroughly.
