PROCESSING MADE EFFICIENT

MCLANAHAN’S RECENT PARTNERSHIP WITH A MAJOR MINER HAS BECOME A CRITICAL COMPONENT IN THE EXPANSION OF A CRITICAL MINERALS PROJECT IN QUEENSLAND.

McLanahan has played a key role in increasing throughput at a major miner's Queensland aluminium project to seven million tonnes per annum.

Pivotal to this achievement is McLanahan's wobbler feeder and cross belt sampling system, each designed to address the unique challenges associated with bauxite processing.

Peter Bone, regional manager wet processing at McLanahan, spoke to Australian Mining about how the partnership began.

"McLanahan worked collaboratively with the mining company and its engineering partner to investigate solutions to improve the scalping of saleable bauxite from their run of mine feed," Bone said.
