Washdown Equipment

Conveyor Spillage Control

Effectively dealing with conveyor spillage and material buildup can pose a significant challenge to mining operations. Spillage occurs when the materials being transported on a conveyor belt spill over the edges or become dislodged. As this material accumulates under the conveyor, this can lead to a range of operational issues, including:

Frequent cleaning and manual maintenance are required to remove the buildup, which results in higher labour costs and conveyor maintenance downtime.

At Innovative Mining Services, we have developed a washdown solution that can significantly reduce maintenance requirements and noticeably improve your mine site’s operational efficiency.

Our Washdown Equipment

Our mining washdown equipment is designed to mitigate conveyor spillage and material buildup issues by providing precise and automated cleaning solutions. By addressing hazards such as conveyor spillage, these systems promote uninterrupted mine site operations, enhanced safety, and ensure compliance with environmental regulations.

Guardian Automatic Washdown System

This system sets the standard for washdown equipment precision and automation. Efficiently powered by a brushless 24VDC motor, this sophisticated cannon unit eliminates spillage and material buildup with laser accuracy. Seamlessly integrate with your mine control setup using the Targa Nano control unit, which offers adjustable oscillation limits and speeds. Start or stop remotely, fine-tune timings, and interlock with plant infrastructure for optimum efficiency.

Guardian Mechanical Washdown System

Designed to thrive in tough conditions, this cannon unit comes with a sturdy steel guard that keeps it safe from falling debris. Even when the nozzle is surrounded by material, it is still able to rotate and clear debris from around the cannon. Cleverly designed to be driven by water pressure, this unit doesn’t need to be connected to electrical power to function. An optional solenoid control can also add a layer of precision to washdown timings to enhance water efficiency.
