1. ABERTURA ACIONADA POR PAINPOINT

Are you facing persistent bottlenecks and cost overruns in your gold mining equipment deployment? The assembly of complex processing plants is a critical path item that directly impacts your project's financial viability. Os desafios comuns incluem:
Extended Field Commissioning: Onsite assembly and alignment of modular components can consume weeks of skilled labor, delaying production startup and revenue generation.
Inconsistent Build Quality: Variations in field welding, tubulação, and structural fitup can lead to premature wear, leakage, e tempo de inatividade não planejado, increasing lifetime operating costs.
Complexidade Logística & Risco de danos: Transporting numerous loose subcomponents to remote sites increases freight costs and the risk of intransit damage or loss, creating costly project delays.
Escassez de mão de obra qualificada: Dependence on highly specialized fitters and welders at the installation site is both expensive and increasingly difficult to resource reliably.

How can you mitigate these risks? What if a significant portion of commissioning could be shifted from the challenging mine site to a controlled factory environment? This is the operational advantage delivered by a dedicated Gold Mining Equipment Assembly Plant.

2. VISÃO GERAL DO PRODUTO

A Gold Mining Equipment Assembly Plant is not a single machine, but a specialized industrial facility and process methodology for the preassembly, integração, and testing of modular gold processing equipment skids before shipment. This approach transforms traditional shipping methods.

Fluxo de Trabalho Operacional:
1. Recebendo & Kitting: All components for a system (por exemplo, a carboninleach plant or a gravity concentration circuit) are received, inspected, and kitted per project.
2. Estrutural & Mechanical Assembly: Skid bases are fabricated, and major equipment (trituradores, moinhos, bombas, tanks) is precisely positioned, grouted, and aligned on the skid using laser tooling.
3. Piping & Electrical PreFabrication: Interconnecting piping manifolds, passarelas, electrical cable trays, and instrument panels are preinstalled in an ergonomic factory setting.
4. Teste de aceitação de fábrica (GORDO): The assembled skid undergoes hydraulic pressure testing, control logic simulation, and mechanical runin to verify performance against specifications.
5. Preparation for Shipment: The fully tested module is then disassembled only as necessary for transport logistics, meticulously packaged, and shipped with comprehensive reassembly documentation.

Escopo de aplicação: Ideal for modular processing plants including crushing circuits, moinhos, leaching tanks, adsorption columns (CIP/CIL), elution plants, electrowinning cells, and gravity recovery circuits.

Limitações: This methodology is most effective for equipment designed with modularity in mind. Extremely large singlepiece items (por exemplo, very large SAG mill shells) may still require field placement. Optimal economic benefit is realized for projects requiring multiple complex skids.
