Newmont Ahafo<\/a> gold mine located in Ghana operates Metso 54×74 primary and MP800 secondary crushers and were experiencing excessive wear and inconsistent life with their after-market supplied primary crusher mantle and concave liners. Similarly, to improve the utilization of the MP800 secondary crusher, increase wear life, reduce bush failure occurrences as well as improving the mill efficiency, H-E Parts was engaged to provide a suitable solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PROPRIETARY MODELING<\/strong>
To assist Newmont with improving their liners, H-E Parts engineers performed an on-site evaluation of the existing after-market and OEM liners using innovative 3D laser scanning technology. The subsequent data was then evaluated in our proprietary ChamberVision\u2122 and CrusherVision\u2122 software, enabling our engineers to predict chamber shape through the full design life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EXTENDED GYRATORY LINER LIFE<\/strong>
The 54×74 after-market gyratory concaves were lasting ~5.1 million tonnes (5.6 million tons) across three mantles (72, 74 and 76\u201d) with concave change-outs required every 9-10 months. H-E Parts incorporated various design modifications and were subsequently supplied to Newmont. Having now completed several runs, the liners are achieving ~12 million tonnes (13.2 million tons) and averaging ~21 months per concave set before requiring change-out. Notably, this is being achieved using only two mantles (72\u201d and 74\u201d) with 50% – 60% life remaining on the 74\u201d mantle, which presents an opportunity for further life improvements in the future, which H-E Parts are exploring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H-E Parts achieved Newmont\u2019s desired goal of extended liner life and in-turn delivered a set of liners which significantly reduced total cost of ownership. This resulted in direct liner cost savings of USD $900,000 per year for Newmont, but also delivered indirect savings via reductions in change-out labor, consumable costs, cranage, reduced exposure to risk and allowed maintenance teams to shift focus too other tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

APPLICATION SPECIFIC MP800 LINER DESIGN<\/strong>
Following on from the success of the gyratory liners, an on-site application study by H-E Parts engineers found that the MP800 crushers were being intermittently fed around 50% – 60% of the time, which was causing adverse effects on the lower bushing due to excessive heat produced by high head spin. Site additionally requested that the new liner design incorporate a final product size reduction from 21.5mm (.85\u201d) to 12mm (.5\u201d). Start\/stop operation affects liner life through abrasive wear between the feed starting and the crusher achieving choke fed conditions. To combat this and achieve site goals, H-E Parts designed a liner that effectively reduced the active chamber volume and allowed the crusher to be run at a tighter gap under chocked conditions allowing the crusher to be better utilized and resulting in improved milling efficiency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Newmont Ahafo gold mine located in Ghana operates Metso 54×74 primary and MP800 secondary crushers and were experiencing excessive wear […]","protected":false},"featured_media":1200507,"template":"","tags":[],"class_list":["post-1200510","white-papers","type-white-papers","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.h-eparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/white-papers\/1200510","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.h-eparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/white-papers"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.h-eparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/white-papers"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.h-eparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1200507"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.h-eparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1200510"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.h-eparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1200510"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
