Project Background
Engineering, procurement, construction, operation and maintenance for the relocation of 350 TPH coal preparation, storage and reclaim facility.
The design and construction included the incorporation of used equipment and building and conveyor structure relocated from 3 three previously operating plant sites located throughout Australia that had been dismantled and shipped to site.
- 400 TPH material handling system
- 350 TPH Coal Preparation Plant
- Heavy media cyclones (50mm x1.4mm)
- Spiral circuit (1.4mm x 0.090mm)

Coal is delivered by haul trucks to ROM hoppers utilizing the R&S passive dust hood design. Coal is fed from the ROM hoppers through a rotary breaker where it is reduced from a maximum of 1200mm size to 50mm x 0.
Coal is then delivered via a storage bin to the coal preparation plant where it is processed to produce a nominal 9.0% ash product.
A skyline conveyor a tripper stockpiles the product for recovery through coal valves to the train loadout bin.
