The key feature of this Mobile Sizing Station is the capacity for
co-existent sizing and handling of minerals at all locations along the quarry
face.
With an all-up weight of approximately 1600 tonnes, this unit is
believed to be the world’s largest mobile sizer.
The very nature of rotating and moving plant is one which imposes
significant fatigue and impact qualification to the overall design.
Finite Element Analysis (ANSYS) was used to model both individual
components, and also connecting parts of the sizer, in order to gain a detailed
insight into the static load regimes of the operating unit, in addition to the
dynamic (fatigue) driven aspects of the design.
