LLAMBEC WERE TASKED TO DESIGN A FEEDER THAT WOULD EXTRACT ROM GOLD ORE FROM UNDER THE REEF SILO TO FILL 8 RAIL HOPPERS AT A RATE OF 1000 TPH.

THE PROJECT WAS COMPLETED WITHIN TWO MONTHS OF BEEN GIVEN THE GREEN LIGHT BY THE ATS MANAGEMENT TEAM AND THIS HUGE 2000 WIDE X 6000 LONG KINETIC ENERGY SAVING FEEDER WAS DESIGNED, BUILT AND INSTALLED.

​

• Ore tonnage increased from an average of 7, 500 t/m to 68 000 in the first month of operation, with the potential to increase to 120 000 t/m

• Operational costs reduced by approximately R250, 000 per month (based on R7, 500 t/m).

• The excess of 14 hours it used to take to load the 8 Rail Hoppers has been reduced to 40 minutes.

• Brute Force Equipment of the traditional type were not possible because of height and power restrictions. As well as the need to stop and start under load.

• The Kinetic Feeder is run with 2 x 3,5 kW Vibratory Motors only.
