Underground Mining

Mining Hoists

FLSmidth Mineral’s leading position in the field of mine hoist technology through the well known Vecor brand was further enhanced in 1997 with the purchase of the mine hoist business of GEC Alstom South Africa.

Our mine hoists have figured prominently in the mining industry as we have pioneering both new technologies and new designs. These breakthroughs include the Blair multi-rope hoist, Escort brake control systems, and the new high response closed loop brake control systems.

With this record of accomplishment, it is no surprise that we have installed more than 630 hoists with drum diameters ranging in size from less than 1 meter to 6.3 meters.

Cages

Our cage designs are flexible for multiple uses, with options for internal or external equipment transport, multiple levels for men, removable floors and any custom arrangements needed.

Cages are available for service and auxiliary compartments and in various combinations with skips. Our cages range from very small 2-man Auxiliary Cages and Trailer Cages to Multi-Deck Cages handling 250 men or more, or internal loads of trucks and equipment and material of 50 tons or more.

80 Years of Experience All Cages are designed based on over 80 years of experience of supplying thousands of Cages. That documented experience, methods and standards are then coupled with the latest technology engineering design methods and our Quality Assurance Systems to produce a certified safe and long-lasting Cage.

Safety We provide safety mechanisms for either wood, steel or rope shaft guides. We also provide safety equipment such as arrestor frames for the head frame and shaft sump. These devices are designed to create a predictable deceleration and bring the conveyance to a controlled stop in the event of a hoist problem.

Guide Rollers

FLSmidth Minerals Guide Rollers operate on timber or hollow structural steel shaft guides at speeds as high as 40 miles per hour.

Minimize Shaft Maintenance and Extend Equipment Life
With an improperly designed or miss-applied Guide Roller any slight misalignment of the guides can cause the conveyance to impact the guides at as much as 2 G’s. These impacts eventually cause further misalignment of the guides and the problem compounds until the guides must be re-aligned.

The use of FLSmidth Guide Rollers has resulted in reduced shaft maintenance and roller adjustment and prolonged roller life. FLSmidth Minerals has developed over many years a complete range of Guide Rollers to suit every condition and application.

Load Stations

FLSmidth Minerals Measuring and Loading Stations are installed in many major mines in North America and throughout the world. Automatic Loading
Modern high speed hoisting systems must be kept in motion as much of the time as possible. Therefore you cannot afford to have a skip waiting for a slow loading arrangement. Our skip loading systems will move your ore and/or waste from your ore passes or storage-surge bins to your skip and control your hoisting plant automatically and unattended. Multiple level and manual operation systems are available.

At the heart of our loading system is the proven load-sensing device between the measuring capsule and its supporting structure, which controls the feeders or conveyors and the gates or transfer hoppers on two compartment systems.

Loading System Package
Many types of configurations are available and almost any arrangement and capacity has already been supplied. Dorr-Oliver Eimco can supply the system to feed the loading station as a Loading System Package. Items like the conveyor, vibratory pan or ROSS Chain feeders and the belt magnet can be included. The cylinders, conveyor, feeders, measuring boxes and skips can all be interlocked with proximity switches and hoist controls via PLC. The entire loading and hoisting system can be fully automated. As with all our designs, we minimize maintenance by maximizing durability.

Mine Haulage Cars

FLSmidth Minerals produces mine haulage cars for all types of mining requirements: Ore cars, Transfer cars, Personnel cars, Explosive cars, Zimmerman timber cars.

Skips

FLSmidth Minerals offers a complete range of types and sizes of ore skips from 1 to 34 cubic meters (40 to 1200 cubic feet).

Our skips, regardless of size or style, are designed for fast and clean dumping of ores, in all kinds of metallic and non-metallic mines. Our skips are available in steel, more weight efficient aluminum, corrosion-resistant stainless steels or a combination of these materials.

80 Years of Skip Building Experience
All Skips are designed based on over 80 years of experience supplying thousands of Skips to every application, from Gold, Silver, Iron and Lead to Potash, Coal and Salt and others. That documented experience, methods and standards are then coupled with the latest engineering design technology and FLSmidth Minerals Quality Assurance Systems to produce efficient, safe, long lasting Skips Maximizing tonnage is the goal in all forms of materials handling. FLSmidth Minerals has developed some of the most innovative skips designs to suit all applications.
