Crushing and Screening
Crushing and
screening takes place inside a dedicated and insulated enclosed area within the
gold plant facility, minimizing noise emission. Attention to civil foundation
design reduces vibration while maintenance access is available via the roof
structure of the crushing and screening plant. Dust control is achieved either
by a reduced pressure air evacuation system or by direct dust suppression using
fine water vapor at transfer points and high dust generation equipment. This
ensures minimum water consumption while achieving highly effective dust
control.
The crushing
and screening operation is designed to operate at a higher tonnage throughput
than the gold processing plant. Higher throughput allows the crushing and
screening operation to fill the buffer capacity provided in the fine ore bins as
well as to operate for a shorter period per day. Short operational time allows
optimal maintenance and reduced sustained vibration and noise levels around the
crushing and screening operation.
