Replacement and refurbishment
Telsmith has created Mining Resource Solutions
as a brand that will source, manufacture, market,
and distribute OEM quality replacement parts in
support of mining equipment worldwide. Owners
and operators of cone crushers, jaw crushers,
and impactors can look to Mining Resource
Solutions providing OEM quality replacement
parts for brands such as Metso, Sandvik, Extec,
and McCloskey at a competitive price with
availability to meet critical uptime requirements.
“While customers have several options when
sourcing parts for their equipment, we want to
make Mining Resource Solutions their one
partner,” says Michael Derr, Mining Resource
Solutions Product Manager. “We are able to
leverage the manufacturing expertise of Telsmith
to deliver OEM quality, while understanding that
current economies stress the need for a
competitive price and delivery to minimise critical
equipment downtime.”
An initial product offering of manganese,
bronze parts, head and shaft assemblies,
upper/lower frames, toggles and toggle seats, as
well as drivetrain components are now available.

IPCC
As noted in the article on Peruvian copper
projects in this issue, thyssenkrupp Industrial
Solutions is supplying SPCC’s Cuajone copper
mine in Peru with a primary crushing and
overland conveying system.
The contract awarded to thyssenkrupp
includes EPC supervision as well as
commissioning support of the complete in-pit
crushing and conveying (IPCC) system to process
run of mine copper ore. Christof Brewka, Head of
Operating Unit Mining, thyssenkrupp Industrial
Solutions: “The new crushing and conveying
system will significantly reduce operating costs
and energy consumption as well as emissions.
This makes it a good example for our leading
customised solutions for the mining industry
which provide added value for our customers
while at the same time helping to conserve
natural resources.”
Zlatan Azinovic, CEO of thyssenkrupp

Industrial Solutions (Peru) said: “As part of our
global growth strategy, we are further
strengthening our footprint in South America.
Our service centre in Peru enables us to provide
better and faster services to our customers. Only
recently we have also invested in new service
centres in Brazil and Chile.” As part of the new
order, thyssenkrupp is supplying a semi-mobile
crushing plant with discharge, transfer and two
overland conveyors with a capacity of 120,000 t/d
of crushed ore transported to the existing coarse
ore stockpile. The copper ore will be fed directly
into a semi-mobile crushing plant located in the
mine. Truck ramps made of sectional steel
modules provide access for mine trucks with
payload up to 360 t. The crushing plant’s main
service and operating areas, including electrical
infrastructure, will be physically separated and
independent from the truck dumping level, which
will significantly reduce vibration, dust and noise
levels. The semi-mobile design is especially
suitable for mine sites affected by frequent
seismic activities.
A major cost hurdle in conventional
mobile/semi-mobile truck dump stations is the
requirement of massive geotechnical preparation
and expensive retaining walls to allow trucks to
drive to an e ]
