High powered circuit at Mt Cattlin
RAPID Crushing has installed a four-stage modular electric crushing and screening circuit at Galaxy Resource’s Mt Cattlin lithium project able to produce in excess of 1.6 million tonnes per annum of -14mm crushed feed material.
The high-powered circuit crushes material to Galaxy’s specifications for delivered to the site’s fine ore bin for feeding the site’s concentrator.
It’s a continuous 24 hours a day project. The Mt Cattlin installation is typical of Rapid Crushing’s unique system of operation.
The company tailor-designs its plant to meet the grind and communition specifications, the required production output and most importantly, to a mine-site’s configuration - a system that ensures maximum efficiency.
Rapid has this capability because it began 41 years ago as an engineering company servicing crushing and screening machinery.
Machinery at the time brought from overseas was poorly suited to Australia’s outback conditions and when it broke down there were often delays in obtaining parts and personnel able to undertake repairs.
Rapid subsequently went a step further by building its own plant, better suited to the conditions, and able to be configured to a client’s site to give maximum efficiency.
