Provide critical cooling crusher processes
Rapid deployment of chiller contingency
Production continued and crusher stayed online
Client:Rio Tinto
Location:Western Australia
Sectors:Mining
The Challenge
The Yandicoogina mine is located in Western Australia, approximately 95 kilometres away from the nearest town
The remote site presents its own difficulties for mining operations. When chillers on the crusher cooling circuit failed through the winter, there was an urgent need for a contingency plan for the upcoming summer months. The location demanded a plan well before the summer heat arrived.
A reliable redundancy for the temperature control equipment to allow the iron ore crusher to operate without interruption would solve the issue.
Luckily, the mine operator had worked with a company who could provide this.
