The Foresight™ SMPG station design in terms of capacity are driven by a few factors:
- Truck sizes
- Average hourly production requirement in tons
- The run-of-mine (ROM) feed particle size distribution
- Required maximum product size as P80 or P95
With this knowledge, the feed hopper, vault, truck ramps, crusher and discharge feeder can be selected accordingly.
The Foresight™ SMPG station electrification & automation contains:
- E-house including switchgear, MCCs and VFDs
- Cabling & instrumentation
- Control & automation
The Foresight™ SMPG station’s modular and compact configuration allow for Apron feeder or Belt feeder discharge. Apron feeders offer the highest availability and lowest operating cost, demand a higher station height and CAPEX than a Belt feeder discharged plant though.
Metso SmartStation for process control boosts productivity. It allows for
- advanced control for process balance
- automatic wear compensation tracking product top–size
- automatic speed adjustment for large block acceptance
The dust control configuration area allows matching regulatory, operational and material requirements with the correct suppression and/or collection equipment.
The parts that make up a dust control configuration for the SMPG station are:
- Wet dust suppression
- Dry de-dusting
- Cover hoods
