CHUTES & TRANSFER POINTS
Smart System Control
Vibrating inflatable linerA system of vibrating inflatable liners installed inside the chute, at points defined by Mining Value engineering. The Smart System Control unit inflates and deflates each plate on an independent, timed cycle, keeping the component free of material build-up and adhesion. No structural changes, 24/7 operation, and it only needs plant air.
The challenge
Because of their geometry or the ore itself, many chutes build up material and block again and again.
Unplanned stoppagesEvery blockage stops the process and forces unplanned corrective maintenance.
Risk exposureManual cleaning in confined spaces exposes workers to falls, crushing and contact with ore.
Wasted resourcesPeople and equipment hours spent on repetitive cleaning that never removes the root cause.
How it works
01Survey & engineeringWe laser-scan the component and design the plate layout and sequence to fit it.
02Vibrating inflatable platesRubber plates on a steel base, fixed where the ore builds up.
03Smart System Control unitIndustrial microcomputer running operation, maintenance and test cycles on plant air at 12–15 PSI.
04Dashboard & remote controlReal-time status of every plate, remote cycle adjustment and alerts via email, Telegram, WhatsApp or SMS.
Benefits
I.SafetyNo more manual cleaning in confined spaces. Field work becomes supervision and remote control, with no risk exposure.
II.Operational continuityThe component stays clean all the time: no blockages, no stoppages for corrective maintenance, and full traceability of every plate.
III.Integrated serviceWe handle the whole cycle: survey, engineering, fabrication, installation, training and a service contract with inspections, remote support and wear management.
Features
- —No structural changes to the component
- —24/7 operation on plant air
- —Cycles adjustable remotely to ore conditions
- —Multichannel alerts and wear reports per plate
