Discharge and spillage<br />
conveyors solutions<br />
ThyssenKrupp Material Handling supports clients in large scale material handling<br />
applications specifically in the areas of open pit mining, minerals processing and<br />
bulk material handling. ThyssenKrupp has choosen <strong>Bonfiglioli</strong> to supply drives for<br />
discharge and spillage conveyors on Lihir Gold Limited’s Million Ounce Plant Upgrade<br />
(MOPU) Project (Lihir Island is located in New Ireland, a province of Papua<br />
New Guinea). The application consists of two Jaw crushing lines operating in parallel.<br />
Each Line has two conveyors; one for discharging and one for spillage.<br />
The discharge conveyors have a throughput of 1200 wtph, while the spillage conveyors<br />
receive 20% of that throughput in finer ores from spillage. The upgrade will<br />
increase total annual gold production on average by approximately 240,000 ounces<br />
(about 6804 kg) per annum from 2012 over the remaining life of the operation.<br />
More than one million ounces of gold (about 28350 kg) is already mined each year<br />
at Lihir Island. However, due to process plant constraints only 600,000 – 700,000<br />
(about 17010 - 19845 kg) ounces is processed per annum. The remaining ore is<br />
stockpiled until it can be processed in the years following the completion of mining.<br />
The investment by Lihir in additional processing capacity through MOPU will<br />
increase plant throughput so that it is more closely matched to mine production.<br />
This will enable more of the mined ore to be processed, improving operational efficiencies<br />
and bringing forward returns for stakeholders.

<strong>APPLICATION</strong> <strong>REFERENCE</strong><br />
GENERAL NEEDS OF THE <strong>APPLICATION</strong><br />
Application requires to operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks per year.<br />
Discharge conveyors need to have right angle bevel helical with rigid flange couplings,<br />
backstops, fluid couplings. Spillage conveyors need to be shaft mounted<br />
gear motors with torque arm. Bearing L-10 life should be greater that 60,000 hrs<br />
and gear life should be 100, 000 hrs.<br />
BONFIGLIOLI SOLUTION<br />
<strong>Bonfiglioli</strong> Australia’s DSC came up with an “Alignment Free” input design which<br />
negates the need for a costly baseplate.<br />
The “Alignment Free” input is basically a large bell housing that contains the<br />
fluid coupling, fan and provides a standard IEC interface for the flange mounted<br />
motor. This type of input also saves time and labour during commissioning of the<br />
drive as the alignment of the transmission components has already been done.<br />
Vents cut in the bell housing allow air from the fan to be forced along a path to<br />
provide optimum cooling for the gearbox.<br />
The bell housing also has a additional benefit as it provides a collection point for<br />
fluid lost by the fluid coupling in case<br />
of a blowout. <strong>Bonfiglioli</strong> Australia<br />
won the job simply by providing<br />
more benefits at a lower cost to<br />
the customer.<br />
