Showcasing Weir’s all-of-mine capabilities at this year’s MINExpo
Press release
Weir is showcasing its market-leading brands and unveiling a range of new innovative technologies and solutions.
Weir will launch its ESCO NEXSYS GET Lip System for rope shovel dippers, which lowers lip maintenance requirements, extends tooth and adapter life and, ultimately, provides miners with longer uninterrupted shovel operation.
Weir will also be unveiling its new high-capacity ENDURON ELITE screen. It’s a double-deck banana screen, available in a range of sizes, the largest of which has a deck measuring 4.3m x 8.5m and weighs nearly 50 tonnes. It’s driven by two exciters, whereas competitor machines of comparable size require three.
It will form an integral part of Weir’s commitment to deliver transformational flowsheet solutions in which traditional tumbling mills are replaced by HPGRs and vertical stirred mills, potentially reducing energy consumption by up to 40 percent.
Weir’s booth will feature the Digital Hub, which will highlight Weir’s digital offering – MOTION METRICS and Weir’s new digital brand, NEXT Intelligent Solutions.
The new MOTION METRICS ShovelMetrics Gen 3 Payload monitoring solution is designed to optimize truck loading and improve haulage efficiency by reducing both underloading and overloading. And as part of Weir’s commitment to service its customers even in the most remote locations, MOTION METRICS® systems now support connectivity via Starlink, enabling reliable data transmission anywhere in the world.
NEXT Intelligent Solutions extend and expand Weir’s current capabilities and transforms its process optimization services into real-time digital solutions. Weir has developed digital packages for all of its market-leading solutions – pumps, cyclones, HPGRs, screens and hoses and spools – based around key customer needs: Insight, uptime and production.
The Digital Hub will use monitors to create a remote operation center, allowing attendees to experience the same digital platforms and interfaces that Weir utilizes to support its customers.
Attendees will also have an opportunity to experience an interactive scale P&H 41000XPC shovel model demonstration of MOTION METRICS ShovelMetrics Gen 3, as well as a ShovelMetrics model control station, featuring the same touch screen monitor and controller used by operators.
Weir experts from its digital, extraction, processing, comminution, tailings, and flowsheet solutions teams will be available at the booth to continue the conversation about how Weir is partnering with customers to accelerate sustainable mining.
