New Radial Luffing Stacker Conveyor

F3DE Stacker

Formula 3D Engineering latest major design project is a new Radial Slewing and Luffing Stacker Conveyor for a ‘Clean Energy Resource’ Nickel mine in Western Australia. The Conveyor repositions from 7 deg to 16 degree through two main Lift Cylinders. The Conveyors unique feature is its mechanical locking arms which support the Conveyor in both of its working positions. This allows depressurising of it Hydraulic Lift system thus ensuring safe and reliable operation. The Slewing action is done by four Hydraulic Wheel Motors through an approximate Slewing angle of 180 degrees. Formula 3D Engineering does complete concept design through to full fabrication documentation. The Conveyor can move 230 tph of Nickel Ore and create a Stockpile 15m high with 22500 cubic metres of capacity.

George Fisher Mine Underground Truck Loading Station

George Fisher Mine Underground Truck Loading Station

Project Description.

The Truck Loading Station project involved the relocation of an existing Truck Chute, new Ore Pass Transition chute, new platform and access as well concrete and foundation design. We produced a concept model which was then developed to produce fully detailed fabrication drawings and concrete construction drawings.

Project task 1

Relocation of an existing Truck Chute.

Glencore George Fisher Mine Radial Stacker​

Project Description.

This project involved the design of a complete new Radial Stacker with Luffing capability. The conveyor capacity of 900t/h hour and provided an 84,000 tonne stockpile. The Luffing from 6-18 degrees was provided by two large Hydraulic Lift Cylinders while the radial travel was driven by hydraulic wheel motors. Our design started with a concept model, this refined through client consultation and design review workshops into a fully detailed model from which  a full BOM and complete fabrication drawings were produced.

Hedweld Material Storage Station

Hedweld Material Storage Station​

Project Description.

The Hedweld Material Storage Station was designed as device to store heavy material such as large steel plates horizontally and provide easy access to minimise material handling time. Each cassette holds up to 7.5t with 11 cassettes giving over 80T capacity. This enables the storage of a large amount of material in a compact and safe way, while improving the efficiency of manufacturing processes.

Trilift Tyre Handler TH15000

Trilift Tyre Handler TH15000

Project Description.

The Trilift Th15000 is a Tyre Handler design to handle the largest of mining vehicle tyre and rim assemblies. With a capacity of 15000T the Th15000 is unique because it has very small footprint and high manoeuvrability allow it to comfortably handle the large tyre and rim assemblies in the confined area of a workshop. http://www.hedweld.com.au/part/th15000/#
