Wireless Creates Safe, Reliable Control In Harsh Mining Environment

The problem was that the manufacturing process at such a plant is complex and dangerous. First, taconite ore is drilled and blasted from a large open pit and ground down to a fine powder. The powder is then milled for iron which is rolled into small pellets, kiln-hardened, and shipped to steel mills. The leftover material, mostly finely ground rock slurry, is removed from the plant in tons on a set of oversized conveyor belts and dropped (170 tons in 90 seconds) through gate valves into buildings containing huge overhead storage bins. The slurry is then loaded on to massive trucks waiting in the buildings and transported for disposal.

 


Products & Services
Grinder pumps shred solids and raise sewage to a higher elevation through pressure sewers. They shred sewage discharge into a finely ground slurry that can be sent through a small-diameter pressure pipe.
Metal powders are finely divided or powdered metals used in fabricating sintered parts, thermal spraying, filling plastics, and other specialized applications.
Modular building construction products are used in a variety of residential, educational, commercial, and industrial applications.
Pallet jacks are used to lift and transport pallets. Typically, they only lift a pallet high enough off the ground to allow the pallet to be transported. There are various drive and lift configurations options.  
Nanoparticle and powder processing services perform milling, crushing, classifying, screening, grading, atomizing, coating, or production of metal or chemical powders and nanomaterials on a contractual basis.
