Design and Selection of Bulk Material Handling Equipment and Systems : Mining Mineral Processing Port Plant and Excavation Engineering: Vol. II

Contents 7 Understanding and Mitigating Equipment-Related Injuries 8 Evaluation of Durability of Elements of Load-Bearing Structures 9 Methods and Practices of Pressure Measurements in Silos 10Overall Specific Energy Requirement of Crushing High Pressure Grinding Roll and Tumbling Mill Circuits 11Managing Variation of Bulk Material in Stockpiles and Mineral Processing Plants 12 Design Selection and Applications of Surface Miners With Special Reference to Wirtgen Surface Miners Bulk material handling comprises of 50-70 of the work in many industrial processes Yet there is arguably not a single book that discusses the different aspects of such engineering in an integrated fashion useful for designersselectors and users Put simply this is probably the first book in so many years to discuss the recent developments and new research in the fields of bulk material handling comprehensively in dedicated chapters The clues to rationalize capital expenditure and cut losses in operation lie in understanding the processes of design and selection of material handling system as well as the aspects of associated constructional safety and reliability engineering related to them Twelve long chapters brought out in two volumes have been contributed by a select group of globally acclaimed experts The books Design and Selection of Bulk Material Handling Equipment and System volumes-I and II provide industrial designers engineers operations managers and students a wide coverage of contemporary in-depth knowledge of the subject-cutting across various industrial sectors Two of the world?s leading bulk material handling equipment manufacturers have also participated in the work Each standardized chapter brings out a specific subject and deals with it quite comprehensively to draw in both initiated and un-initiated readers Extensive use of charts figures and tables in the texts would make design and selection of appropriate material handling equipment and system easier indeed for mines mineral processing plants and ports Some topics in nutshell Belt and pneumatic conveying design; excavator stacker and reclaimer surface miners design selection and application; modelling and commissioning of motor drives for belt conveyors; testing and examination of the causes of equipment damages; high pressure grinding roll technology; equipment related injuries; reliability and maintainability of equipment aspects of ore degradation during handling and modelling; specific energy requirement measurement; managing variation in mines and plants; mine design 252 pp.…
