LGM Industries was engaged to replace the Float Cells, Sag Mill Discharge Hopper and repairs to the Zinc Thickener.
Jaguar Operations is an established underground zinc, copper, gold and silver mining operation located 65km north of Leonora in the Eastern Goldfields.
The project commences with an LGM engineer and draftsperson heading to site to laser scan one of the chutes to ensure we have precise drawings.
From the scan provided, we then fabricate the chutes in our workshop and plan out the installation. The chutes needed to be installed in a building where we couldn’t remove the roof, as it’s quite difficult to get these pieces in. The larger ones are 6 metres long and come in three sections, so we used well thought out rigging to enable us to bolt it all together.
The scope of works included:
- Replace one of the current 3 Bank Floatation Cells (we were required to provide the engineering services and construction drawings for the fabrication and installation). All mechanical items were to be re used. The cell frame and module (the body) were to be replaced.
- Replace one of the current 6 Bank Floatation Cells (we were required to provide the engineering services and construction drawings for the fabrication and installation). All mechanical items were to be re used. The cell frame, module and discharge launders were to be replaced.
- Replace the current Sag Mill Discharge Hopper (we were required to provide the engineering services and construction drawings for the fabrication and installation of the Sag Mill Discharge Chute – 20CHU07, Sag Mill Discharge Sump – 20SMP01 and the Sag Mil Scats Chute – 20CHU06).
- Repair the Zinc Thickener with the replacement of the Ring Angle, Froth Baffle and Levelling Strip (Gutter) and the Over plate Floor (we were required to fabricate the new Froth Baffle, Leveling Strip sections, and the new Ring Angle and then laser cut the Over plates for floor).
