Common Material Flow Problems in mined minerals

Mineral commodities may be common, but that doesn’t make them easier to handle. Their characteristics can affect their flow, and pose challenges during storage, processing and packaging.

Material  segregation

Material segregation

of particles with different hardness, grade and size.

Ratholing

Ratholing

in stockpiles can affect a bin’s “live” capacity.

Flooding/ flushing

Flooding/ flushing

of fine powders and concentrates.

Plugged outlets

Plugged outlets

slow down or even stop production.
