Time lapse video of a recent #apronfeeder build in the factory. This monster is designed to handle 2500 sTPH of phosphate ore. Positioned under a rotary rail car dumper, this heavy-duty apron feeder is seeing impact loads of 100 tons per dump. Apron Feeders are used to feed material in a wide variety of material handling applications, from mining ores, aggregates, C&D Soils and scrap/recycle material. They range in capacity from 10-6,000 TPH. They can withstand extreme impact loading, and they are great for moving sticky, clay-bound materials, like C&D soils that would prove difficult for a belt feeder to move. Due to their long service life with low-maintenance requirements, Apron Feeders are a popular feeder choice in various industries. Combined with a variable speed drive, Apron Feeders provide the ultimate in flow control.

#DryStackTailings for Mines, Quarries and Industrial Sand Plants is the future of Tailings Management. Video showing High-Clay #DryStackTailings from a Silica Sand Plant. 🌎 ♻️ 💧 1. Enhanced Environmental Protection: Reduced Water Usage: Unlike conventional tailings dams which require large amounts of water to transport and settle tailings, dry stacking significantly reduces water consumption. This is particularly crucial in water-scarce regions where mining operations can strain local water resources. Minimized Risk of Spills: Tailings dams pose a risk of failure, which can lead to catastrophic environmental disasters. Dry stack tailings are placed in compacted layers, reducing the risk of seepage and overflow, thereby protecting waterways and ecosystems. 2. Operational Efficiency: Space Efficiency: Dry stacking allows for the stacking of tailings in a manner that uses less land than conventional methods. The tailings are dewatered and can be placed in a smaller footprint, which is beneficial in areas where land availability is a constraint. Recycling and Reuse: Massive amounts of water are recovered allowing the Mine to operate with lower water requirements. The dry nature of these tailings makes them easier to handle for potential reuse. They can be repurposed for mine site rehabilitation, construction materials, or in some cases as a product. 3. Economic Benefits: Long-term Cost Savings: While the initial setup for dry stacking might be higher due to the need for dewatering infrastructure, the long-term benefits include reduced monitoring and maintenance costs compared to creating and managing a tailings dam. The environmental benefits can also translate into regulatory and community goodwill, potentially speeding up project approvals. 4. Community and Safety: Improved Safety: By eliminating large water bodies associated with tailings dams, the risk of tailings failures is dramatically lowered. This not only protects the environment but also the communities living near mining operations. Community Relations: Mines employing dry stack technology can foster better relationships with local communities by showcasing a commitment to environmental care and safety. Dry stack tailings management is is a strategic investment that is now economically viable for all sizes of Mines and Quarries. It offers a path to reduce environmental impact, enhance safety, and improve economic outcomes for mining operations. Embracing innovations like dry stacking is the new benchmark for responsible mining practices globally. #MiningInnovation #DryStackTailings #SustainableMining #FilterPress #IndustrialSand #SilicaSand #GlassSand #FracSand #MineralSand McLanahan Corporation since 1835: www.mclanahan.com Diefenbach since 1907 www.diefenbach.com Rick Madara Mark Krause Neil Mullan David Hunter Lee Hillyer Richard Williams Sean McLanahan Donal McNicholl James McShane Alberto Mangili Alessandro Felicani

A routine, yet important maintenance procedure in a c&d soils washplant is filter press cloth washing. All filter cloths eventually become contaminated with some amount of solid material on the surface as well as in the spaces between the cloth weave. Eventually, the accumulation of material on the cloths will impact the filtration rate and the ability to seal the plates together. How quickly the contamination occurs is dependent on the characteristics of the material being dewatered. With soils washing, expect it to be weekly. Customers can manually wash each cloth or upgrade to include an automated cloth washing system, as shown being factory tested in the video. Automated systems use high-pressure showers that are automatically positioned for each filter plate and can be programmed to clean the cloths at defined intervals or cycles. Once a week is a good interval for a cloth wash when washing soils. This could be one full cycle treating every cloth (taking several hours on a 220 plate press), or break it into two or three shorter segments throughout the week. McLanahan Corporation Diefenbach

Here's what an aggregate recycling plant that's ready for its first wash looks like. 💪♻️ Stay tuned for the official launch of SunAggregates! 👀

Goonvean Aggregates recently hosted a superb open day which showcased the innovative changes, with the help of McLanahan Corporation, they've made to their business operations in Cornwall. You can read more here https://loom.ly/gx0R33E #bethebest #GoonveanGroup #aggregates #construction #recycling

We're on site at Sun Aggregates in Thetford, U.K., commissioning their new McLanahan trommel fines washing plant. The plant includes a McLanahan UltraSCRUB for cleaning the stone fraction, an UltraSAND Plant for processing the sand fraction, an eddy current separator for removing non-ferrous metals and a sizing screen for separating the final products. The effluent from the plant is processed in a McLanahan Thickener to recover immediately reusable process water. Learn more about the project here: https://hubs.ly/Q02ZH86D0

This Skip Waste Recycling ♻️ plant is #READYTOROCK and divert skip waste material from landfills into beneficial use. Learn more about our C&D Recycling, Quarry and Mining Solutions at The Mining Show Stand E21. #McLanahan is able to offer end-to-end modular solutions for C&D Recycling, Skip Waste, and Hydrovac Waste.

Flat Bottom Classifiers are part of the family of hindered settling classification equipment that includes McLanahan Hydrosizers™. These units use a dense fluidized bed of near-size sand to float off lightweight materials (lignite, paper, plastic, grass, fiber & other organics) while allowing heavier fractions to pass through the bed. They are combined with a sieve bend to capture those light contaminants, as featured in a previous post. Including hindered settling classification in a c&d soils washing process reduces the product sands’ Loss Of Ignition (LOI) and increases quality & consistency. (LOI is the weight change percentage caused by heating a sample to high temperature and is used to give a measure of the extent of volatile substances.) Washing c&d soils? Consider hindered settling classification. McLanahan Corporation #soilswashing #sustainability ♻️
