Mining Control & Monitoring Instrumentation

Advanced control and instrumentation in the mining industry can pay incredible dividends almost immediately. Yet many operations do not do this due to using equipment that performs adequately, but is decades old. And (until now) bringing it all together has proven difficult.

 

However, improved/centralized instrumentation and process control has many benefits, such as: 

 

·      Immediate improved control, efficiency, and safety.

·      Reduced raw material waste and contamination.

·      Monitor processes for improved quality control.

·      Capture and analyze incredibly useful data for profit-enhancing decision making.

 

Raska Analytics & Flow Limited can update existing mining equipment with new sensors, instruments, process controls, and software. This will provide you with real-time control and monitoring of essential mining equipment including conveyors, crushers, mills, pumps, flotation cells, and cleaners, as well as monitoring fill levels in vehicles, silos and storage tanks.

 

We can consult with you and make recommendations, install monitoring and process control equipment (either new, or as stated, bring your existing equipment up to date), show you the data that can be captured and analyzed, train your people, and more. 

 

Bottom line: we can make your mining operation more profitable. This year.

Equipment and Instrumentation

Listed below are some of the instrumentation and equipment we provide, calibrate, and maintain. We work with world-class manufacturers and choose only the highest quality parts. Because let’s face it – mining is harsh on equipment, which is why we only work with the best. Some of the equipment we offer includes:

  • Continuous/Point Level Instrumentation: These devices include ultrasonic transmitters, non-contacting radar, rotating vane paddle switches, magnetostrictive sensors, RF capacitance probes, vibrating forks, and others.

  • Pressure Gauges: We carry both analog and digital gauges, as well as related devices like pressure switches, transducers, and transmitters. These can communicate with a central location, offering you unprecedented monitoring and control capabilities, as well as access to immensely useful data.

  • Automation Controls: Control almost anything from anywhere - conveyors, grinders, crushers, sorters, and other material handling equipment. The level of control and monitoring can include particle sizes and processing, ensuring a perfect grind / heat application/etc. Intuitive HMI (Human Machine Interfaces) make both control and data collection/analysis simple.

  • Temperature Gauges: Knowing all temperatures across the entire process chain is extremely useful. To this end, we provide controllers, RTD sensors, thermal imagers, and more. Alerts and warning can be set, increasing both quality control and worker safety.

  • Specialized Instruments: If you don’t see it listed, we can still provide it. Need a heavy-duty AC-pulsed magnetic flow meter? Or perhaps something else? We’re on it.

Service – Both Startup and Existing/Ongoing

New mining operation? Congratulations – Raska can procure, install, calibrate, and train workers on the latest in mining instrumentation and process control equipment. 

If you have an existing operation, we can work with your current equipment, and bring your process control, monitoring, and data collection into the 21st century. 

Either way, let’s dig! Request a consultation or e-mail us with any questions.
