Novel comminution technology: high speed impacts proviing high reduction ratios, improved energy efficiency and recoveries through key element liberation.
About
Energy & Densification Systems has developed patented new technology crushing/milling equipment. The EDS Multishaft Mill is a compact vertical mill – utilising high-speed impacts to break down particles with large reduction ratios, low energy consumption and improved liberation. The milling action combines several processes to provide a multitude of output products to satisfy various specifications. Comminution often accounts for more than 60% of the total power consumption on a mine. Two of the key problems to be solved in comminution are to improve the efficiency of the beneficiation and recovery of the required elements. The EDS Mill has shown extensive improvements in both these areas with energy efficiencies up to 75% better than conventional milling equipment and improving liberation beyond the standard beneficiation processes.
Key Benefits
• Energy efficient with up to 75% improved efficiency. • Improved liberation of minerals due to breakage mechanism. • Mill can easily be retrofitted to existing infrastructure. • High reduction ratios in a single pass. • Dry or wet milling capabilities • Safe, simple and quick change out of wear parts. • No specialised equipment required for installation or maintenance. • Can be run off a generator, startup power draw significantly reduced. • Very low safety risk (no external moving components). • Requires no civils and can even be placed on skids. • Stackable for redundancy and maintenance. • Short lead time (12 - 14 weeks from order). • Quick installation time (
Applications
Any mining plant operations needing to reduce the size of the ore/rocks and liberate the key elements. The industrial minerals area including aggregates and cement.
