Run of Mine Tip at Skorpion Zinc, Namibia

Bateman designs complete ROM Tips with a specific focus on the selection of feeders and associated equipment. The service ranges from the analysis, testing and modelling of the flow of bulk materials, through to the design, selection and installation of the equipment making up the entire system.

The one point of responsibility for the design and selection of the entire ROM Tip system, rather than the individual selection of pieces of equipment, ensures that all components of the system are integrated for optimum performance along the entire flow sheet.

This results in :

• Optimised feeder systems, critical to a successful ROM Tip system, with guaranteed performance and reduced maintenance costs and expensive downtime.
• Reduced product degradation
• Reduced spillage and loss of product which may pollute the environment.
• Reduced power consumption.

BATEMAN's total service encompasses

• Comprehensive analysis, testing and modelling of the bulk flow of the materials involved, without which blockages will occur in the system.
• Design of the entire system using advanced procedures, including :
  
  
  • Silo and bin geometric optimisation
  • Feeder Forces
  • Absorbed Power
    
    
• Selection of the equipment components of the system, including bulk-material storage (bins, silos, stockpiles, etc), transfer chutes and feeders, ensuring that components
  
  
  • interface effectively with each other
  • are capable of coping with the flow characteristics of the bulk materials to be handled by the system.
    
    
• Installation and commissioning.

The design and selection of crushers, screens and conveyors most appropriate for the system can also be provided.
