Where Is This Solution Deployed?

Case Study: Copper Concentrator Expansion

A mid-tier miner achieved a 22% throughput increase by replacing their aging ball mill circuit with our closed-loop vertical roller mill design. Energy savings paid back the CAPEX in <3 years.

Typical Applications:

  • Cement raw meal/pet coke grinding
  • Mineral processing (gold, copper, lithium)
  • Industrial minerals (barite, talc) classification

Investment Options & ROI Considerations

We offer flexible financing models tailored to capital budgets:

  1. Full Turnkey Purchase: Includes engineering, equipment, and commissioning.
  2. Lease-to-Own: Spread costs over 3–5 years with maintenance packages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long does installation take?

A: Modular designs reduce installation time by 40% vs. traditional builds (typically 4–8 weeks).

*Q: Can your layout handle wet and dry grinding?*A: Yes—our systems include slurry handling or pneumatic conveying options based on moisture content.

Q: What’s the expected lifespan of critical components?A:* Mill liners last 12–24 months depending on abrasiveness; motors and gearboxes are rated for 100k+ operating hours.
