More Focus Needed On Optimising Transfer Points

The continued lack of focus on optimising transfer points is costing process plants money. It is a known fact that transfer points can contribute to some of the highest maintenance costs on a mine, yet many engineers often do not view transfer systems as a critical element of the minerals processing system. Mark Baller, managing director of Weba Chute Systems, maintains that transfer points, by the very nature of their application, should be given the same level of importance as any other machinery in the minerals processing cycle.
