Case Study

Chuquicamata Project

Through Mintap’s South American distributor San Cristobal, the C-Gap was successfully trialled at Codelco’s Chuquicamata Copper Project. Lead weights were being used to measure the CSS in their 10 secondary and 5 tertiary crushers. Measurements were taken three times per day across all crushers equating to the use of 90 lead weights per day at approximately USD 2/weight. A cost benefit analysis of the cost of the C-Gap Vs lead weights clearly demonstrated that the C-Gap was the cheapest to operate with the added bonus of ease of use and the marked reduction of lead that needed to be disposed of. Noting its success on the Secondary and Tertiary circuit, a 30m hose and a 200-220mm sensor will be introduced on the primary crushing circuit shortly in order to improve the management of the CSS upfront.

“C-Gap It”

One C-Gap unit can be programmed with up to 25 bulb and hose combinations allowing the measurement of CSS on all Gyratory, Jaw and Cone crushers on site.

C-Gap Hand Held Device

The IP54 dust and splashproof hand-held device is ergo dynamically designed and light allowing ease of operation.

C-Gap Measurement Bulbs

A selection of bulbs arriving in a dustproof carry case allows the user to effectively measure Closed Side Settings between 6mm and 255mm.

We have helped hundreds of mining and quarrying projects around the world.
