The Junyi filter press helps a medium-sized copper mine in Peru achieve stable dehydration and cost optimization.
Customer background:
A medium-sized copper mining enterprise located in the Arequipa region of Peru, dedicated to copper ore mining and selection. As the production scale expanded, the customer urgently needed to solve the problems of high failure rate and high maintenance cost of the existing dehydration equipment, as well as meet the increasingly strict environmental requirements for tailings dry stacking in the local area.
Customer pain points:
Poor equipment reliability: The original dehydration equipment frequently malfunctioned in the harsh environment of the mine, seriously affecting the continuity of production.
High operating costs: Frequent equipment maintenance and long procurement cycles for spare parts result in consistently high overall operating costs.
Environmental adaptation challenge: The mining area has a high altitude, and the hydraulic and electrical systems of ordinary equipment operate unstably in a low-pressure environment.
Environmental compliance pressure: It is necessary to effectively dry the tailings and achieve safe storage to comply with local environmental regulations.
Solution:
We recommended an automatic hydraulic box-type filter press to our customers and provided them with customized configurations:
Core equipment: Automatic hydraulic box-type filter press, with a simple structure and convenient operation and maintenance.
Targeted optimization:
Special design of the hydraulic system: Adapted to high-altitude and low-pressure environments, ensuring stable clamping force and preventing leakage.
Structural reinforcement: For the vibration conditions in mines, the key components such as the frame are reinforced.
Special filter cloth selection: Select wear-resistant filter cloth based on the characteristics of the copper ore slurry to extend its service life.
Application Results:
Operating costs have significantly decreased:
After the equipment was stabilized and began to operate normally, the failure rate dropped significantly, resulting in a reduction in maintenance workload. As a result, the overall operating costs decreased by approximately 20%.
Production efficiency has steadily improved:
The equipment operates stably, ensuring the continuity of the beneficiation process. The moisture content of the filter cake is maintained below 18%, meeting the requirements for subsequent processing.
Stable operation at high altitudes:
The specially optimized equipment is fully adapted to the high-altitude environment, overcoming the operational challenges posed by low air pressure and temperature differences.
Environmental compliance can be easily achieved:
The tailings, after being dehydrated, form a dry and solid filter cake, which enables safe storage and fully complies with local environmental protection requirements.
Customer review:
"This filter press has perfectly addressed our key issue. Its stable performance in high-altitude areas is truly impressive, and its simple structure enables our workers to quickly grasp the maintenance procedures. This has been a very successful collaboration."
