AJMAN, United Arab Emirates--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vega Industries launched their unique proprietary technology called MillART - Mill Grinding and Advance Recovery Technology. This is a revolutionary technology for the Mining Industry that promises productivity and profitability for mining operations.
Falling ore grades with increase in metallurgical complexities and use of poor water quality for processing result in reduced metal recovery, sub-optimal grinding capacity, high energy consumption and reduced life of mill internals which ultimately hamper productivity.
“With MillART, we extend Vega's engineering capabilities to provide high quality solutions that reduce downtime, guarantee output improvement and enhance energy savings and recovery benefits,” says CEO for Vega Industries Jerry Andersson.
Vega’s MillART technologies addresses these challenges by recognizing interconnection between the different areas of metallurgical protocols for flotation, leaching performance and grinding operations. Vega uniquely provides solutions in each area to improve lining life, its output, energy consumption and product fineness backed by scientific tests as well as empirical studies.
For recovery improvement, it is important to ensure a clean mill electrochemistry with optimum grind. These methods are specific to the minerals in ores and can easily be achieved with Vega’s intervention and support. Vega’s specialized High Chromium Grinding Media provide an integrated selective low alkaline floatation chemistry and cell hydrodynamic conditions that target recovery of fine and coarse particles that float with difficulty, both in the rougher and cleaner flotation stages.
For the Mill Liner life improvement, experienced engineers carry out a grinding survey followed by process modelling using discrete element method (DEM) that increase output, save grinding energy and improve grind. MillART offers mill liners and proprietary energy efficient pulp lifters with a perfect synergy between design for mechanical improvement to reduce the downtime through increased life while offering output improvement and energy saving. Vega’s lining systems are of a proven technology that have been tried in several mines, globally.
Vega has collaboration with leading technological partners like Ore2Metal, a leading provider of advanced eco-efficient technologies for production of strategic and precious metals, led by Dr. Barun Gorain while mill grinding process optimization is carried out by EE-Milling Solutions LLC (EEMS) led by Dr. Sanjeeva Latchireddi.
Vega Industries is the fully owned subsidiary of AIA Engineering Ltd. and is a world leading hi-chrome casting manufacturer and service provider. Vega Industries Ltd. provides products and services in over 120 countries and are driving research in the area of recovery and surface chemistry together with Ore2Metal. Vega Industries/AIA Engineering Ltd. exclusively supplies to EEPL – Energy Efficient pulp lifter, presently the most energy efficient pulp lifter for grinding application. With an in house design centre, dedicated lab, and a specialized team for process improvements related to grinding media and grind optimization Vega offers a unique opportunity for its customers.
Ore2Metal specializes in metals recovery from complex ore bodies as well as from mine tailings, smelter residues and electronic waste.
Dr. Gorain has a Ph.D. in Metallurgical Engineering from the University of Queensland in Australia and has served as a board member for the JKMRC, Sustainability Minerals Institute, Australia, International Mineral Processing Congress along with technical advisory for the Canadian Mining Innovation Council & Australian Research Council. Dr. Gorain’s patented AMBS technology has now been implemented by two global operations, one in Chile and another in Saudi Arabia, treating copper and copper-gold ores.
