The development of a coal perpetration plant was undertaken by Xstrata Coal in an alliance with Downer Engineering. A critical factor in the daily operation for the coal preparation plant with be the two stackers for two grades of product.
We had previously completed a similar design for the supply of 10 machines to Xstrata. Design rate = 3000tph belt speed of 5.6m/s. therefore a complete redesign was required.
