Did you ever think that a large hose with the ability to flesh out the diamonds hidden under the ground would every come to pass? It has, as a group that develops mining solutions has revealed. One of the larger mines and mining industries in Southern Africa will now be using these highly specialized mobile vacuum solutions to recover and then transfer the stones to their destination.The company that manufactured the vacuum designed it specifically for the diamond industry. The process is actually quite simple. The vacuuming process will remove all material from the area quickly and efficiently. Then, it takes the collected or reclaimed material and moves it securely to a contained unique for transportation. The benefit here is several times over. It provides a logistical solution for the transportation of bulk precious ores and the materials associated with them.
The company’s spokesperson made several remarks in a press conference. They said that the vacuuming diamond machines worked at various levels of the diamond recovery process. They work to provide bedrock sweeping which helps to recover diamonds and diamond bearing materials, and they work throughout the rest of the process through to transportation of the product.
The diamond vacuum is a complex system, much more so than a simple vacuuming tool. It starts with a central vacuum source that then has coupling to the main vertical line. The entire thing has installation with steel pipe reticulation. The benefit of doing this is that the diamond mine can have a clean sweep of diamonds because the line can branch out to various floors and levels throughout the plant. This piping system can be massive. It has a connection to various pick up points, which have a predesigned to fit the plant, where a suction hose can have connection. With this connection, the vacuuming can commence. Once attached, the hose will be able to collect, move, and then discharge the picked up diamonds as needed. While it sounds quite complex, the system is still relatively easy to use.
There are benefits to using this diamond vacuum for the industry. For example, the mine will now be able to collect even some of the smallest particles. These very small particles were otherwise lost during the process. The plant can pick up these small bits and use them for profit. In addition to this, the system easily extracts and maintains the diamonds. This creates a very secure and theft proof device which is always beneficial in the industry. The personnel have no access to the diamonds throughout the entire transportation process.
Still, there are other benefits. Some plants are able to benefit from an improved air quality, for example. Because so much of the debris and dust is swept up with the diamond vacuum, there are fewer products to float through the air. This helps to provide a healthier working environment for the employees and a reduced cost of having to remove these particles from the mine itself.
Owners of mines throughout the world are interested in the diamond-vacuuming device. The vacuum system actually provides various sizes, which range from 7.5 kW mobile units up to the larger 300 kW fixed or mobile units. What’s more, fueling these massive machines is not difficult since they can be have fueling from diesel based power supplies or electrical. The machines have manufacturing to a specific standard, but there are various adaptations to improve the overall design of the machine for the client’s needs. They can have a design to account for things like the nature of the material that is in recovery, the number of tons per hour that are in transport and size needs.
The machines are being sold not only to diamond mining companies who will run their own machines, but also to companies that work as reclamation contractors and cleaning teams.
What’s more, the company’s materials mostly come from the South African company, giving a much necessary boost to the industry and economy locally. The only parts of the diamond vacuums coming from outside of the country are the motors and vacuum pumps only because there are not current suitable local producers of these items to provide the help needed.
While the diamond vacuums are ideal for the diamond industry, they also work well in other industries including precious metals, power stations, and cement manufacturers, for example. The goal here is to clean up the fly ash and other items. The good news is that the diamond vacuums are compliant to ISO 9001:2000 and the company is taking great strides to help improve the overall industry standards. They work hand in hand with the customer to be sure that their diamond vacuums are doing the job that s required of them.
