Portable Equipment: The New Mainstream in Canadian Mining
Portable equipment has become the industry standard for the Canadian mining sector. Evolving over the years to meet demands for greater production, enhanced mobility, improved safety, and more precise product specifications, portable crushing and screening equipment now plays a pivotal role in mining operations. It offers producers tested, reliable solutions that excel in:
- Rapid deployment
- No demobilization
- Reduced setup costs
- Faster cash flow
In the mining industry, factors like mobilization, maintenance, versatility, low initial capital investment, and quick turnaround from discovery to cash flow are critical in selecting equipment. With conditions that vary significantly from one mine site to another, portable equipment provides maximum convenience, adaptability, and durability, enabling it to perform under extreme and diverse environments.
Why Portable Equipment?
One major reason for the rise of portable equipment is convenience. Pre-engineered and field-tested, portable equipment comes ready-made with proven designs that eliminate the guesswork. With over 37 years of innovation and field experience, ELRUS portable equipment is designed for performance and reliability, and it’s already being used successfully at mine sites across the globe.
Portable equipment brings many advantages over stationary crushing plants. Perhaps the most significant is its mobility: operators can position crushing equipment close to the material source and move it as necessary, reducing time, fuel, maintenance, and production costs.
ELRUS Equipment: Modular Design for Maximum Efficiency
ELRUS pioneered common-level design to streamline setup and teardown while eliminating the need for loose conveyors. Each ELRUS chassis includes onboard feed and discharge conveyors and is designed to integrate seamlessly with other components in a crushing spread. This modularity allows for easy customization and maximum flexibility, enabling an entire spread to be mobilized in as little as 3 to 4 hours without the use of cranes. Additionally, any chassis can be swapped out for another, facilitating upgrades or changes to the configuration as operational needs evolve.
Simplified Maintenance
Maintaining a modular plant is faster and more efficient. ELRUS designs are intentionally uncluttered, eliminating the chaos of loose conveyors, and each component is strategically placed for easy access. Maintenance becomes a straightforward task, with parts accessible for repair, replacement, or upgrading to meet new production requirements. This operator-focused design significantly reduces downtime, so mining operations can maintain consistent productivity.
Portable Equipment: The Future of Mining
With ELRUS portable equipment, Canadian mining operations are able to meet the demands of modern mining with speed, flexibility, and durability. Portable equipment is not only the present but also the future of mining, providing a cost-effective, high-efficiency solution that accelerates operations from discovery to cash flow.
