Mining industry sees rising demand for efficiency and digitalisation
Can you describe any recent innovations or technologies that Taurian has introduced specifically for the mining sector?
Taurian washing systems recently introduced the CycloFrac, which showcases significant technological advancements in ultra-fines filtration. The system employs advanced cyclone technology to recover particles as fine as 75 microns (200 meshes); ensuring valuable materials are not lost. High-frequency dewatering screens reduce moisture content, enhancing product quality and processing efficiency. An integrated water management system recycles up to 90 per cent of process water, promoting sustainability and reducing operational costs. The system can be used for highly specialised application like frac sand, silica sand, iron ore recovery, etc.
How is the industry’s focus on sustainability influencing crusher design and production?
The focus on sustainability drives demand for equipment that lowers emissions and energy consumption. Taurian has responded with hybrid solutions like the Terratrak hybrid range, utilising electric motors powered by external sources to reduce fuel use and emissions. Taurian also offers the THT high-rate thickener, which allows customers to recycle and recover up to 90 per cent of water used in beneficiation operations. This results in equipment that are efficient and align with mining operations' environmental objectives.
What are the key trends currently shaping the mining industry, and how do you see these impacting crusher requirements?
The mining industry is experiencing trends like increased demand for efficiency and digitalisation. There’s a push toward electrification to reduce emissions, requiring equipment that’s both powerful and eco-friendly. Taurian addresses these needs with its Terratrak hybrid track-mounted units that offer efficient, emission-free operation. These crushers meet the industry’s demand for reduced environmental impact while also reducing operational costs by up to 80 per cent.
What are the main challenges faced by mining companies regarding crusher performance and durability?
Mining companies grapple with costly crusher breakdowns, and the need for consistent performance. Taurian CB Series and CM Series hydraulic cone crushers tackle these challenges. Their single and multi-actuator hydraulic adjustment designs prevent major damage by including tramp relief protections systems. This minimises downtime and operational costs while ensuring consistent product size for downstream processes.
What are the upcoming trends or technologies that Taurian is exploring to address future needs in the mining industry?
Taurian is exploring advanced automation, digitalisation, and electrification. Expanding the Terratrak hybrid range supports the industry’s move toward zero emissions. Enhancements to the Taurian Nexus automation and monitoring platform enables real-time monitoring and optimisation. Taurian is also focusing on energy-efficient solutions like the high-pressure grinding roll for improved efficiency.
How does Taurian plan to address the evolving demands of the mining industry in the next 5 to 10 years?
Taurian plans to advance electrification, digitalisation, and sustainability initiatives. Expanding electric-powered equipment reduces emissions and operating costs. Investments in automation and AI will enhance solutions like Taurian Nexus for predictive maintenance and process optimisation. By focusing on innovation and sustainable practices, Taurian intends to help mining operations improve efficiency while minimising environmental impact.
