ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT IN MINING

Environmental management is a crucial aspect that benefits mining companies in numerous ways. Implementing effective environmental management practices not only demonstrates corporate responsibility and sustainability but also contributes to the long-term success and reputation of the company. By proactively addressing environmental concerns, mining companies can minimize negative impacts on ecosystems, local communities, and natural resources.

The functionality of unpaved mining roads, parking lots, essential maintenance areas, and waste management holds significant importance, serving crucial roles. Various products can be used for different purposes, either independently or in combination. Maintained road areas have a significant impact on fuel consumption and occupational safety, and the dust management of tailings ponds has an effect, especially near nature reserves, on air quality and the health of employees and local operators.

While it may not always be possible to eliminate all factors, we prioritize the creation of environmentally friendly and efficient dust-binding and load-bearing roads. We provide comprehensive training to your selected contact persons, ensuring they can use our products reliably, even in challenging conditions. Additionally, we offer on-site assistance to your employees or contractors when needed, ensuring optimal results in road maintenance and dust control efforts.

In this brief product description, we provide an overview of its intended use. Moreover, by clicking on the product name, you can conveniently navigate directly to the dedicated product page:

Dust/Blokr Sugar Blend:

  • easy-to-use water-soluble liquid concentrate
  • mixture rapidly binds dust, offering a short or medium-lasting effect, depending on the specific area and traffic conditions.
  • mixed-in applications beneficial for long-lasting dust binding, simultaneously enhancing the road surface properties and reducing fuel consumption.
  • an environmentally friendly product based on sugar and starch
  • bonds very well to mineral surfaces such as sand and gravel fields
  • does not contain ingredients that are corrosive to the machines
  • for unpaved mine roads, pit areas, dam area roads, and short-term pile material erosion control
  • does not wash off surfaces as quickly as salt

Road//Stabilizr:

  • liquid concentrate, well suited for stabilizing clay-based soils
  • cost-effective: one liter is enough to treat 111 to 167 m²
  • increases load bearing capacity up to 300% (California Bearing Ratio = CBR)
  • reduces the swelling/expansion of clay soil up to 43 – 63% with just one treatment
  • the treated road can be opened to traffic immediately after completion
  • biodegradable, does not contain corrosive ingredients
  • long-lasting – no need to renew the treatment
  • functions perfectly with Dust/Blokr Sugar Blend

Dust/Blokr Polymer Blend:

  • liquid concentrated dust binding agent for pile materials
  • water-soluble; the vinyl-acrylic mixture is firstly diluted in water and applied through spraying.
  • well suited for handling water-repellent materials such as coal
  • protects the treated material from erosion caused by wind and rainwater from several months to a year
  • after drying, non-soluble in water
  • suitable for the edge areas of tailings ponds and for islets formed in the water in the summer season

Mobile big bag filling station

A solution is suitable for efficient bagging that works reliably in extreme conditions. Originally developed for challenging and difficult-to-handle concentrates in the mining industry and tested and actively used for several years in mining areas operating in Finnish winter.

  • The bagging solution offers easy transportability, allowing it to be quickly put into use in any terrain.
  • The filling opening and suspensions can now be swiftly adjusted to accommodate various big bag sizes, ensuring flexibility.
  • For easy handling of difficult materials, the electric vibration feature can be readily activated whenever required.
  • With its efficient operations, this equipment enables the filling of several hundred big bags during an 8-hour shift, depending on the material and sack size.
  • The wear-resistant special coating is scientifically designed to sustain sand, gravel, stones, concentrates, and numerous other materials, ensuring enhanced durability and performance.
