ROM Dewatering Screens and Underground Cyclonic Dewatering Systems

Brain's range of underground mine dewatering equipment is designed with two main aims.

 

Uses:

  • Elimination of excess water in material transport systems, particularly where it is causing problems on steep drift conveyor belts or in underground storage bins.
  • Removal of solids from the water, returning the solids to the material transport system and resulting in water "clean" enough to be handled by the regular mine water pump out system without detriment to the pumps and pipelines involved.

Belt conveyor dewatering systems

When material has been transported any distance on a belt conveyor it stratifies with the larger lump content on the top and the slimes and water on the bottom.

A Dewatering Screen can be installed at a suitable conveyor transfer point or a tripper can be introduced to feed the screen anywhere along a trunk conveyor.

When the material leaves the delivery jib or tripper pulley, the larger lump content, being on top and having more mass, describes a larger trajectory whilst the slimes and water fall short. The bulk of the material continues its journey via an armoured chute whilst the slimes and water are removed by a sieve bend with the oversize also going back onto the belt.
