A Large Platinum Mine in the Rustenburg area had a By-Pass Bin System used when the Plant was not in operation. Two main conveyors running in parallel 2 m apart could not be fed by two Brute Force Feeders with the correct tonnage. One of the feeders had a starvation problem due to incorrect Bin Design, Material flow-ability problems and was causing other problems down the line. With the current loading design the Bin was only filled to about 30% capacity. 

 

Llambec redesigned the Bin and installed two Kinetic 1200 Vibrator Feeders at 90° to ensure both belt conveyors receive an equal amount of feed. Installed three years ago the system has increased capacity to specification and the loading  Bin capacity is at maximum. Both Kinetic Feeders are 1200 wide x 3500 long and driven by one 4,0kw Vibrator Motor.
