How can Core Tray Pallets help the Mining Industry? The mining industry plays a significant role in Australia's economy. Plastic core trays are typically used to transport core samples from mine sites to the lab, making the transport and storage of plastic core trays important. Our latest blog will discuss how core tray pallets can assist mining companies in ensuring the seamless movement of their plastic core trays and core samples.

The PC3400 is like a PC2000 on steroids, resulting in another exceptionally robust model to the range.

Transform tailings into opportunities! 🌱💧 Dredging and dewatering can do more than just manage tailings—it can recover valuable materials from slurry, ready for reprocessing. Not only does this approach boost efficiency and safety, but it also contributes to recycling efforts and reduces environmental impact. A smarter way to handle waste for the mining industry. 

State-owned Swedish mining company LKAB has officially commenced construction of its demonstration plant for processing phosphorus and rare earth elements in Luleå, Sweden. First announced in 2023, the plant is scheduled to become operational in 2026. The primary goal is to optimize the company’s material flows from the Gällivare iron mine and extract critical minerals from material that is currently being discarded. With the new plant, LKAB seeks to make progress toward making Sweden and the EU less dependent on imports of critical minerals. #rawmaterials #criticalminerals #supplychains #eu

It's full steam ahead for North West Phosphate after their mining lease was approved for their $300 million Paradise South phosphate mine. It’s also good news for Mt Isa and northwest Queensland with the mine expected to create 445 construction and operational jobs over its lifetime. North West Phosphate also plans to use local services, which is a further boost to the local economy. Phosphate is a key ingredient in fertiliser used by Australia’s multi-billion-dollar agricultural industry, but also important for batteries and other technologies needed for our net zero future. 📸 North West Phosphate

Introducing Tyrecycle's off the road tyre cutter from Salvadori Recycling! Have a listen to the power of the aptly named 'T-Rex' as it chomps through mammoth mining truck tyres 🦖 This T-Rex, the first in Australia, has been installed at our new mining tyre and conveyor belt recycling facility in Pt Hedland in WA – the only facility of its type in the country. The T-Rex will pre-process mining tyres for further refinement at our East Rockingham facility, saving Pilbara based mining companies the cost of transporting these tyres themselves. We've been working closely with mining sector partners on improving the industry's management of end of life off the road tyres, and commissioning this equipment is an important part of a more sustainable future. #mining #miningaustralia #sustainability #tyrerecycling

ResourceCo's innovative tyre recycling operations continue to grow with an Australian first off the road tyre cutter from Salvadori Recycling being commissioned at Tyrecycle's new facility in Port Hedland. Named the T-Rex, this piece of equipment will play a key role in the new facility's processing capacity, pre-processing the off the road mining tyres for further refinement at Tyrecycle’s East Rockingham site.

(Photo: Bridgestone) Bridgestone claims market leadership in the mining and construction tyre sector, and with the mining sector namedropped alongside electric vehicle tyres for particular attention in its recently announced 800 billion yen ($5.38 billion) round of medium-term investment over the next three years, the global tyre manufacturing signalled its intent to continue to strengthen in this segment. Bridgestone can claim an impressive grip of the off-road tyre market in more ways than one. Its portfolio of premium tyres is keeping some of the most rugged fleets moving, with a full range of tyres for loaders, the VLT/VLTS for earthmoving applications, the VSNT for underground mining and the VCHP/VPCS for industrial applications. And, of course, the VREV/VRDU for super-sized dump trucks. It all adds up to a portfolio to be reckoned with, with OTR major accounts manager Rob Cole one of the most familiar faces in the business along with a dedicated team of OTR specialists. Cole, who recently celebrated his 35th anniversary with Bridgestone, said: “The rockier the road, the better our tyres perform, and we’ve been able to evolve over the years to remain at the forefront of the sector. “Whether it’s rigid trucks, articulated dump trucks, graders, wheeled loaders, fuel bowsers or loading shovels, our tyre portfolio is geared up to meet every need. And the best is yet to come. Our tyre technology keeps on evolving with state-of-the-art patterns and designs to keep drivers safe and vehicles moving. “From concept right though to creation, it takes years for an OTR tyre to be brought to life. Each tyre is a highly engineered product which has to meet the unique challenges and demands of our customers. We run on so many varied, abrasive and uncompromising surfaces, and our tyres have to deliver – which they have been doing for many, many years.” Rob Cole also acknowledged an ever-evolving industry and the issue of fleet electrification, which will become more and more relevant in the mining and construction industries in the years to come. Bridgestone is already seeing a shift in tyre technology in this area which can be seen in some of its radial casings. Rob added: “They are now rated 3 and 4 casings to withstand the extra weight of the batteries. This is more prevalent for underground mining machines and shows that that the tyres – and the technology within them – are continuing to move.” A major string to Bridgestone’s bow is its round-the-clock support for its all-terrain crane fleet customers, with a partnership approach - combined with its premium tyre range - a cornerstone of its OTR business. Rob added: “Time is money on any industrial site. That’s why our tyre reporting platform is also a vital part of our offering. We’re able to check the condition of our customers’ tyres before sending reports to the fleet manager. Tread depth profiles and pressures are stored – and action

Very interesting conversation last week with representatives of Swedish industrial heavyweights LKAB and Trelleborg Group, Anders Lundgren Chief Sustainability Officer at LKAB, and Jackie Huang Managing Director at Trelleborg Marine & Infrastructure China, joined by James Wu Managing Director LKAB Trading & President LKAB Minerals China, and Crystal Li, Project Leader on Sustainability also LKAB, and Per Portén Market Manager China at Business Sweden, about current market situation and prospects. All noting that today's global market situation is complex but not without upsides. LKAB (Luossavaara-Kiirunavaara AB) is a state-owned Swedish mining company, mining iron ore at Kiruna and Malmberget in northern Sweden. The company was established in 1890, even if today's international mining and minerals group historically began with extraction in 1740. LKAB has processing plants for industrial minerals and representation offices in a large number of countries, including Finland, UK, Netherlands, Turkey, China, Germany, USA, Slovakia, Greece, Spain, and South Africa. Through LKAB, the largest manufacturer in Europe and leading in highly refined iron ore pellets, Sweden is one of the European Union's leading ore and metal-producing countries accounting for over 80 % of the continents produced iron ore. Swedish company Trelleborg AB is a world leader in engineered polymer solutions that seal, damp and protect critical applications in demanding environments with an emphasis on innovative engineered solutions that accelerate performance in a sustainable way.
