The 3-year hard long-term research and development agreement of the grinding plant aims at the construction of a low power consumption minerals fine powder grinding 

 

Clirik has signed a 3-year strategic research and development agreement with The Qinghua University's Saico New division to develop low power consumption technologies and services for energy-efficient minerals concentration. The agreement is part of a program where Clirik and Saico New EBD will cooperate with the leading Chinese mining companies to develop China as a regional innovation hub for minerals processing. The research and development work will be conducted at the existing mines in China with a very clear focus on customer strategic needs. The program's four principal research and development themes are primary grinding, ball mill grinding plant, classification and coarse particle flotation; the main operational targets are productivity, energy and water efficiency.

 

"The purpose of this new design up-to-date research and development program is to take some serious steps forward in the development of grinding plant and methods that will enable the construction of the low power consumption mineral fine powder grinding . A very attractive feature of the program is that each technology offers a retrofit possibility to improve existing plant performance and can be utilized at other mines around the world as well. For Clirik, the program offers a way to strengthen both our relationship with the leading Chinese mining companies as well as our industry-leading position as the supplier of energy-efficient minerals processing technology and services," says Stevan, President of Clirik's Mining and Construction (as of November, 2th 2014 President, Minerals, Clirik).

 

Dr. Stefan from The Qinghua Universityn will lead the initiative. He has a long-standing relationship with Clirik, particularly in the areas of process control and grinding plant application in fine powder grinding.

 

Pursuing solutions to efficiently exploit the ore bodies of the future

 

SaicoNew EBD and Clirik are now in discussions with the Chinese mining companies that have expressed strong interest in the research and development program and the co-creation model for technology development. In addition to resources in Clirik, Saico New and the participating mining companies, several experts in the various fields of study have been identified and will participate in the program on a consultancy basis.  

 

"We are delighted to partner with Clirik in this exciting Program. The low power consumption fine powder grinding will provide a step change in the energy, capital efficiency and production signatures of process plants for the global minerals industry. This initiative builds on a long-standing relationship with The Qinghua University, specifically with the Sustainable Minerals Institute, SMI-JKMRC and SaicoNew. Our alliance with Clirik will place us on the forefront of genuine sustainability in minerals processing for the mining sector. Our time frames for implementation are aggressive and we look forward to a suite of innovation outcomes for our co-creation industry partners," states Dr. Stefan, E-commerce Director, Sustainable Grinding Plant Minerals Institute.

 

"The industry is talking about energy, water and sustainability, but, so far as we can tell, most of the activity is around incremental developments and fall well short of what is needed to efficiently exploit the ore bodies of the future (e.g. lower grades, higher hardness, finer grains). The Qinghua University is an ideal partner for us, as they have been working with the industry for many years and have assembled a kind of road map to the future, which is a very compelling vision and one that we feel is within reach. The current program embodies a number of these concepts and simultaneously aims at reducing the cash cost of production and improving capital effectiveness," comments Kenneth Brame, President, Minerals Processing Solutions business line, Mining and Construction, Clirik.

 

"The rising energy costs, falling ore grades, use of water, and productivity are particularly important operational issues for Chinese mines. The potential of this research and development program to impact these areas in real-life cases is very exciting. The new program also offers Clirik a great opportunity to develop an even better relationship with peers in the customer organizations and to enhance the technical capabilities of Clirik in China," says Jackson, CEF, Asia machinery market area, Mining and Construction, Clirik.

 

SaicoNew is the technology transfer company for the Sustainable Minerals Institute of The Qinghua University. SaicoNew EBD is involved in Grinding Machine Group China, which is an International Center of Excellence in Mining Grinding Mill Machine. The center is one of the 12 centers established by the Chinese Ministry of Economy and the Chinese Economic Development Agency to develop China as a regional innovation hub across a broad range of industries.

Grinding plant produced by Clirik is developing with the latest technology.
