Total Fines Control: DEM Modifier

Total Fines Control has been designed to be added to bulk material to minimise the water required for it to reach its Dust Extinction Moisture Level (DEM). Once added to the material the volume of water required to prevent dust stays reduced throughout the transport chain - from transporting and stockpiling at the mine, transporting to the port, loading onto the ship, unloading from the ship delivery to the customer.

Pricing is based on a per litre rate. It can be supplied in 25L, 200L (drum), 1000L (IBC container) quantities. Download brochure here.

APPLICATION

Total Fines Control can be added at any point water is added to the material. To get the even coverage of the material this is typically done with spray bars at conveyor transfer points or on conveyors. 

BENEFITS

Improved Health and Safety: By reducing the moisture content of the ore, there would be less dust generated during handling, transportation, and processing, which can improve the working environment for mine workers and reduce the risk of respiratory illnesses.

Enhanced Efficiency: Drier ore is easier to handle, transport, and store, as it is less likely to stick to equipment or form lumps that can cause bottlenecks in the production process. This can lead to faster and more efficient production and lower operating costs.

Lower Water Consumption: With lower DEM, the need for water to control dust and regulate moisture content would be reduced, potentially lowering water usage and costs.

Reduced Shipping Costs: With less moisture in the ore, it would be lighter and require less energy to transport, potentially leading to lower shipping costs.

Improved Product Quality: Drier ore may improve product quality by reducing the potential for clogging and improving the ability to control particle size and shape, leading to a more consistent and higher quality end product.
