Mining Applications

Ground breaking power, increased safety and a wide range of unique flexible tools takes mining work to a new level.

Too many if not all X/cuts that is not in use anymore are abandoned not realizing the amount

gold that can still be recovered through the vamping process. Vamping of X/cuts/Haulages is a perfect way to boost the bottom line concerning gold

Cross Cut Vamping

Benefits of Cross-Cut / Haulage Vamping using the Brokk

• Fast and Efficient.
• Loosening of compact mud on footwall.
• No human factor exposed to poor ground conditions.
• Operator standing in a safe area.
• Brokk Machine is effective in breaking and removing

large obstacles.

• Brokk Machine removes rails, pipes etc. in order to

get to the gold bearing material.

• Cost Effective and safe operation.

Silo Cleaning: Typical Problems

25

• Substances kept in bulk storage silos generally attract

moisture which eventually causes the material to bind and adhere to the walls or form clumps, consequently resulting in blockages of the valve outlets and build-up along the sidewalls and the base of the vessel.

Silo Cleaning: Cardox Blasts

26

• Cardox tubes are filled with liquid carbon dioxide. When energized by the

application of a small electrical charge, the chemical heater instantly converts the liquid carbon dioxide to a gas expanding the CO2 and building up pressure until the rapture disk at the end of the tube bursts, this releases the CO2 now 600 times it original volume. A special discharge nozzle is employed.

Silo Cleaning: Brokk Machines

27 When? Silos that are not covered

• r

with an opening big enough to let a Brokk in. How? Install a Brokk hanging from a crane and slowly letting it down

• n the product.

Benefits:

• The conveyors or feed system

below can run while the machine is inside the Silo and the uninterrupted extraction can continue.

• No human entry in confined

space whilst in operation
