Pebble extraction - primary mill

Concentrator, primary grinding

The existing pebble extraction caused recurring maintenance work, and an unwanted size fraction left the mill together with the pebbles.

We built and evaluated a model of the current arrangement to explain both, covering particle and slurry behavior together. A new extraction design is now being evaluated with respect to wear exposure, dewatering and the efficiency of the pebble discharger.

The work is ongoing.
