THE ROBOTS MAXIMISING MINING UPTIME

DREDGE ROBOTICS IS CONTINUING TO TRANSFORM PROCESS TANK CLEANING WITH GREATER EFFICIENCY, UPTIME AND INNOVATION.

With tanks so essential mineral processing, it's imperative they are kept at optimum efficiency to ensure a continued stream of high throughput – but with that process comes the buildup of sediment, mud and other residue over time.

“A typical steel plate tank that receives a high throughput can accumulate up to 6m of solids. On top of that, water is generally quite turbid so you can’t see what you’re dealing with, especially when it can be a clay-like, or even rock-like, consistency,” Dredge Robotics chief executive officer Anthony Old told Australian Mining.

That’s why maintaining process tanks is such a critical component of mining operations. While this process is traditionally conducted via scheduled shutdowns to conduct inspections, Dredge Robotics has changed the game through its advanced robotic technology that can be used while tanks are in action, enhancing productivity and reducing downtime.

As it deploys its solutions across Australia, Dredge Robotics has prompted mining companies to think differently about how they operate.
