The first Vehicle on Genoa’s new Bridge

The first vehicle crossed Genoa’s new bridge. Aboard it was Pietro Salini, chief executive of Webuild, a global leader in the construction of complex infrastructure projects that built the bridge. The crossing was the first to be made by a private vehicle as Webuild brings the bridge to completion with Fincantieri and Italferr in record time.

Outotec launches new open-ended Discharge Grinding Mill Solution for high-throughput Circuits

With ore grades declining and cost pressures rising, high-throughput circuits based on very large grinding mills are becoming an increasingly attractive option in mineral concentration applications. The Outotec® Open Ended Discharge Grinding Mill (OED Mill) enables innovative and efficient high-capacity circuit designs through the removal of pulp lifters from the discharge arrangement, facilitating reductions in both CAPEX and OPEX.

Instead of using pulp lifters, the OED Mill discharges material directly through the grates, solving the throughput bottleneck problem often associated with comminution circuit design. The mill uses a novel grate-supporting spider to maximize slurry transport and minimize slurry pooling, increasing throughput capacity further and improving grinding efficiency.

Reduced CAPEX and OPEX

The OED Mill enables novel circuit designs with significantly reduced equipment requirements and therefore lower CAPEX. Reductions in OPEX are made possible through a reduced – or even completely eliminated – need for grinding media.

Optimized serviceability and maximized availability

The OED Mill incorporates innovative wear-part solutions that enable timely and safe servicing, including innovative outboard mounted grate panels which can be removed from the outside of the mill using a jib or overhead crane. Furthermore, the spider and discharge cone are segmented and removable. Together these solutions minimize the time and cost associated with mill relining and discharge-end servicing.

The mill also includes the Outotec Polymer HSB, which offers proven performance under even the toughest conditions to maximize mill availability.

Key benefits

• Highest possible discharge capacity through elimination of pulp lifters
• Maximized slurry transport and impact energy with lowest possible slurry pool level
• Reduced CAPEX with novel high-capacity circuit designs
• Minimized OPEX through the reduction or elimination of grinding media
• Optimized serviceability and availability with novel discharge wear package

“The Outotec Open Ended Discharge Grinding Mill takes high capacity discharge systems to the next level, enabling novel circuit designs with reduced CAPEX and OPEX. The completely open discharge end results in the lowest possible slurry pool level while simultaneously optimizing serviceability and maximizing availability,” says Damon Bordi, Mechanical Engineer, Grinding business line.
