P R O C E S S I N G S O LU T I O N S CDE's Evowash technology is instrumental in producing fines with improved Fe content at Bellzone Mining's iron ore operations in Guinea, West Africa. With a 250 mt/h feed rate of lowgrade fines, the washed product from the CDE plant will be directly exported. Bellzone Process Manager Rod Davies said, "CDE were the chosen providers on this project because of their high level of expertise in wet processing technology and their ability to develop and produce 88 E&MJ; • FEBRUARY 2013 high quality, integrated modular solutions. One of the most imperative factors for us was to source a provider that could develop a modular system which is suitable to transport easily, erect quickly on site and operate in a remote location." CDE notes that over the last five years, the range of equipment iron ore processors it offers has expanded, with the introduction of the M2500 mobile processing system being one of the most significant developments. "Our mining equipment range provides excellent solutions and delivers significant advantages to our many customers in the iron ore processing sector," said CDE Strategic Projects Manager Dermot Murphy. "In the case of Bellzone Mining, a fast track installation with a high quality product was required. We are able to provide a tailored solution for Bellzone bearing in mind that plant availability coupled with a reduction in maintenance requirements is vitally important, particularly due to the sites remote location." Another advantage, said CDE, is its ProMan project management system with on-going support available from initial design stage, through to manufacturing, logistics, installation, commissioning and continuing plant management. "Through the ProMan system the customer is given a dedicated single point of contact for the duration of the project that takes them through every stage from plant design and production in the first instance to training and long term performance support," said Murphy. www.e-mj.com
