Transforming Mining Operations: AI-embedded Copper Concentrate Loading System

894

2023-07-31 13:27:08

In this plant site, the final copper concentrate powder is stored in an inventory first, loaded into containers, and transported by trucks. Before the vehicles carrying the concentrate powder containers enter the loading area, forklift operators remove the container lids from the trucks and place them on racks. Once the concentrate powder loading is completed and the container tops are cleaned, the caps will be put back onto the containers similarly. This process requires high precision in operation and relies on experienced personnel, leading to low efficiency and significant labor intensity. Moreover, a small amount of concentrate powder residue may remain on the edge of the container tops in this process. Both the vehicles and the containers may also become contaminated with concentrate powder. The concentrate that falls from the containers may eventually disperse onto roads or transportation routes when attempting to fill containers using traditional methods (manual and imprecise operations), resulting in uncontrolled environmental impact and waste of resources. The left-over concentrate will also affect the accurate installation of the container tops.
