FINE ORE CONVEYOR STUDY
Krech Ojard & Associates has provided a fine ore conveyor study for a large pellet plant operation in northern Minnesota. Their product is taconite pellets, sold and shipped to steel plants around the world. They currently have five lines of fine ore running into the concentrator building, where it is milled, separated and screened into concentrate before being sent into the pellet plant.
KO provided engineering services for a feasibility study of installing new feeders and new conveyors in the reclaim tunnel underneath the fine ore surge pile. This new equipment will be used to reclaim the current “dead” storage located at the east end of the facility.
3D modeling of the facility was utilized during the review and design phases of the project.
