Project Brief

Design Process was engaged to complete the design to replace two existing high frequency Sand Screens (tailings dewatering) with a substantially larger single low-head reverse incline vibrating screen. 

The design scope included 

• Refurbished existing spare screen refurbished with an inclined discharge,
• Cast-basalt feed pipes & feed box
• Asymmetric under-pan and discharge chutes - to tie into existing plant infrastructure & existing concrete floor penetrations.

The new screen and accompanying chutes were supported with a new support incorporating surrounding access and a separable access over the screen to maintain the screen drive motor.
