Optimize concentrator plan operations and maximize metal recovery

Improved visibility and analysis of aggregate material characteristics enable automated concentrator mills to adjust their process parameters to optimize energy usage and throughput quality. With Emerson’s automation and control solutions and high-availability architecture, operators can access real-time edge analytics that can reduce downtime and increase metal recovery through aggregate composition and equipment KPI tracking.

Safely control material handling systems in harsh, remote mine sites

In the harsh environments where raw material moves from the mine site to the processing plant, machine breakdowns are common and difficult and costly to repair. Emerson redundant control systems safeguard your process and help you avoid system shutdowns. Leverage our automation solutions to gain reliable, real-time control and tracking of critical material characteristics while maximizing your equipment uptime with high-availability architecture.

Stabilize leach plant processes and maximize metal recovery quality

Process stability is critical in leaching operations. Variable aggregate input, manual intervention, and machine downtime can all complicate processes and lead to inefficiency. With Emerson’s edge controls and real-time analytics, redundant, high-availability architectures and application expertise, mine operators can improve equipment uptime, minimize environmental impacts and chemical use and maximize metal recovery through aggregate composition tracking.
