The industrial world is on the verge of entering the next revolution: Industry 4.0. This is going to change control systems architecture, systems connectivity and sensors as we know it today.

The presence of flammable and toxic gases inside an underground mine can bring upon several health-related to the on-site workers.

Thickeners and clarifiers are both used to separate solids and liquid, but how do they differ? Simply put, thickeners focus on the settled solids, and clarifiers focus on the clear overflow liquid.

Attracting and retaining employees is a challenge for most industry sectors. In mining and resources, where demand for skills is growing, the pressure of renewed industry growth on a limited skills pool is perhaps one of the greatest challenges for HR leaders in the sector. Salary packaging may be the talent acquisition and retention solution … Continue reading Essential guide to benefits in mining and resources →

Quick question: how many phases are there in a project? Theory states five: concept, planning, execution, performance monitoring and closeout. In reality, though, most projects consider just two: planning and execution. To download the white paper, fill out the form below:

Today polyester resin anchors are used almost exclusively in the underground coal mining industries around the world, when rockbolts are used as primary support. In the underground metalliferous mining industry, polyester resin anchored rockbolts are rapidly gaining acceptance. Polyester resin anchors are used in preference to cement and mechanical type anchors because of the many … Continue reading Lokset®: A history of reliability →

Hydraulic cylinders are some of the most hardworking components in any operation. We ask a lot of these simple actuators. They are often required to run at high duty cycles, with extreme pressure loads in tough environments. There are many reasons for a hydraulic cylinder to fail including fluid contamination, seal failure, bent or scored … Continue reading Hydraulic Cylinder Repair: The Complete Guide →
