Simulations

Changes introduced to processes in mining can affect both current and downstream operations. At ME Elecmetal, we understand that every decision made is absolutely critical. Before proposing changes to our customers, we run a series of simulations and tests, so we can be confident that the solutions we are developing will minimize any risks or adverse effects.

FEA Simulations

FEA simulations are employed to simulate strain, stress, force, displacement, velocity, acceleration, etc. ME Elecmetal’s FEA simulations make it possible to reproduce the mechanical behavior of both liners and the mill, under multiple operating conditions in order to avoid unwanted failures, optimize processes and components, and reduce the time required for new product development.

DEM Simulations

DEM simulations have become an essential tool in the design and optimization of equipment used in grinding and crushing. ME Elecmetal’s DEM simulation software tools allow our customers to better understand the downstream effects of liner design changes. Our 3D simulations and virtual mill and crusher models help quantify solutions for operational challenges related to crushing and milling; providing energy utilization, power consumption, tons processed and impact force, among others.

Scrap Buy-Back Program

Because ME Elecmetal uses high quality alloys, our scrap is dependable. This allows us the ability to buy back your ME Elecmetal liner scrap and re-melt it into new liners — lowering your cost and reducing your carbon footprint. Contact your account manager for details.

Wear Tracking

ME Elecmetal’s Wear and Performance Tracking reports are based on historical operating parameters as provided by the operators, and offers specific wear profile data to help predict remaining life of equipment components, compare current wear rates vs. historical wear rates and much more.

The measurement process utilizes 3D laser scanning technology which can measure up to one million data points per second and an ultrasonic device to measure liner thickness. Once the information is collected, it is uploaded to an electronic data base. Based on this data, a timely report is generated, providing information that enables our customers to make informed maintenance and operational decisions.

ME PolyFIT^®

ME PolyFIT^® SAG, AG and ball mill products provide yet another trusted alternative in the wide array of solutions offered by ME Elecmetal. ME Elecmetal designs and sells 100% rubber, rubber and plate steel or cast alloy composite liners — or a combination of the three materials. ME PolyFIT liners help our customers improve safety, equipment availability, cost-effective operational efficiency and maintenance intervals.

Tower Mill Liners

ME Elecmetal provides top-quality, highly engineered spiral / impeller liners for stirred media mills. Our tower mill liner products are used by some of the biggest names in the mining industry and are manufactured with the optimal blend of wear-resistant alloys. Through simulation technologies, we are able design liners that improve material distribution, resulting in longer wear life!
