DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATIVE EMBODIMENTS
DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATIVE EMBODIMENTS
[0030] The present invention is illustrated in further detail by the following non-limiting example.
[0031] Figure 1 is a schematic of a crushing and blending plant flow sheet.
The crushing and blending plant 1 consists of a high level drum dumper 2, an eight by ten feet DenverTM primary jaw crusher 3, a secondary RocklabTM small Boyd TM jaw crusher 4, a KasonTM double deck vibrating screen 5, a SwecoTM single deck vibrating screen 6, a variable speed primary conveyor belt 7 and a variable speed secondary conveyor belt 8, a small VriecoTM blender (120 liter working volume) 9 and a large VriecoTM
blender (500 liter working volume) 10. Material flow 20, dust extraction system 21, compressed air system 22 and emergency stops 23 are also shown. The different elements are shown in more details Figures 2 to 15.
The crushing and blending plant 1 consists of a high level drum dumper 2, an eight by ten feet DenverTM primary jaw crusher 3, a secondary RocklabTM small Boyd TM jaw crusher 4, a KasonTM double deck vibrating screen 5, a SwecoTM single deck vibrating screen 6, a variable speed primary conveyor belt 7 and a variable speed secondary conveyor belt 8, a small VriecoTM blender (120 liter working volume) 9 and a large VriecoTM
blender (500 liter working volume) 10. Material flow 20, dust extraction system 21, compressed air system 22 and emergency stops 23 are also shown. The different elements are shown in more details Figures 2 to 15.
[0032] In operation, the crushing and blending plant 1 has a throughput capacity of 150kg/hr (ore dependent). Feed material is fed via the flexible feed mechanism 14 (see Figure 17) or a forklift into a primary 8x10 DenverTM jaw crusher 3 in open circuit and crushed to approximately 100% -12mm. The crushed material is then conveyed on the primary conveyor belt 7 to the secondary RocklabTM Boyd TM Jaw Crusher 4 in closed circuit with a Kason double deck vibrating screen 5. Screen oversize at +1.7mm and +4.75mm is transferred back to the primary conveyor 7 via a pair of vibrating feeders 8.
The KasonTM screen 5 will be located above the secondary jaw crusher 4 to remove -1.7mm material ahead of secondary crushing. This will prevent over production of fines and increase the throughput of the secondary crusher 4 - the limiting factor in the system.
The KasonTM screen 5 will be located above the secondary jaw crusher 4 to remove -1.7mm material ahead of secondary crushing. This will prevent over production of fines and increase the throughput of the secondary crusher 4 - the limiting factor in the system.
[0033] Screen undersize (100% passing 1.7mm) will report to the final product bin 11- a 44 gallon drum. Once this drum is filled, the feed to the primary jaw crusher 3 will be stopped and the contents of the drum 11 transferred to one of two VriecoTM
NautaTM
conical mixers, either a small Vrieco blender 9 or a large VriecoTM blender 10 with a capacity of up to 750kg (equivalent to one MPP bulk sample). Discharge from the VriecoTM blender will fall into a spinning riffler 12 on load cells 13 to produce the desired charge mass.
NautaTM
conical mixers, either a small Vrieco blender 9 or a large VriecoTM blender 10 with a capacity of up to 750kg (equivalent to one MPP bulk sample). Discharge from the VriecoTM blender will fall into a spinning riffler 12 on load cells 13 to produce the desired charge mass.
[0034] Figures 16 and 17 are views of a flexible feed mechanism 14. The feed mechanism needs to be flexible in order to accommodate drill core in 10 liter pails 15 and run of mine or similar type material in 44 gallon drums 16. When feeding 10 liter pails with flexible feed mechanism 14, such as an L.K. GoodwinTM High level Drum Dumper, a fitted 5 gallon pail adapter 18 will be used to eliminate manual material handling. When feeding bulk samples from 44 gallon drums 16 the above feeding system may be used. If metered control of feed is required, a forklift fitted with a drum handler will elevate the drum to the feed hopper or high level drum dumper 2 and material can be raked in by the operator.
[0035] Although the present invention has been described hereinabove by way of specific embodiments thereof, it can be modified, without departing from the spirit and nature of the subject invention.
