Mining industry
The mining industry includes the extraction of raw materials from surface or underground deposits and the transformation of minerals into finished products. After the extraction, the materials are conveyed towards the loading silos or the big bag for the following process. Transport is a crucial and delicate step because of the high abrasiveness of the minerals and the need to adapt them in complex and not straight routes.
The solutions developed by Air-Tec system makes it possible to transport minerals such as talc, kaolin, carbonate, corundum and bentonite. The use of a very low speed and anti wear curves preserves the pipes and contrasts the wear due to the abrasiveness of the material.
Technology for dense phase pneumatic conveyance is renowned for the flexibility of application and the compactness of the lines. Moreover it adapts to long and complex routes including vertical lines. The high performance of the offered solutions and the capacity to channel the system wear, led to a competitive advantage and to a remarkable containment of costs for the company.
