Our design work is undertaken using the latest in 3D CAD technology giving an assurance of fit to minimise manufacture and installation time. Our speciality is the design of plated structures such as elevated storage bins, tanks and hoppers, frames for large machines, cranes, stackers and reclaimers, mobile crushing plants, trailers, vehicle chassis, excavator buckets, bodies for vehicles and tankers and similar. We can also offer the service to our clients of creating or converting 2D drawings to 3D models.

A true sample of a truck or railcar of coal can only be obtained prior to unloading. Once it is unloaded, the individual load mixes with other coals and loses its specific characteristics. Auger sampling systems produce a true sample from the container, thus retaining its identity. Each auger sampling system is designed in accordance with the applicable ASTM standards and is rugged enough to maintain its reliability.

Cascade Coil ® Safety Barriers

Installing Cascade Coil Guardian Coil® safety screens around machines and equipment can be an effective step towards improving safety at work, reducing injuries and fatalities in the workplace. Cascade Coil Guardian Coil® is custom manufactured from interlocking spirals of steel wire. The unique metal mesh forms machine guards, catching flying or dropped objects. This improves machine safety blocking debris from ever reaching the operator. Flying and falling objects are principal occupational health and safety hazards in many manufacturing environments. Each year workers are struck by ejected debris such as metal chips, nails, broken cutters, blades, tools and dislodged grinding wheels causing unnecessary injuries and potential lost time. Job safety analysis and personal protective equipment assist in minimising injuries and fatalities caused by airborne particles. Cascade Coil Guardian Coil® is available in steel and stainless steel, a wide range of wire types, gauges and weave sizes with various coatings and finishes to suit all applications. Through the proper selection of weave and wire gauge, a solution can be tailored to your specific safety guarding needs. Our manufacturing technique allows the finished product to be flexible in one direction, giving you more design options than traditional fencing or solid metal barriers. Applications: Machine Guards Cascade Coil Guardian Coil® safety barriers are safety equipment for improving occupational health and safety around all types of machinery. Working as a protective screen Cascade Coil Guardian Coil® is suitable with a milling machine, drill press, routers, spar mills, lathes, grinders, forges, testing equipment, etc. The safety mesh improves drill press safety and is used as a machine guard to protect personnel and property from high-velocity flying debris or shrapnel. Cascade Coil Guardian Coil® machine guards allow easy access to machines while providing a lower-cost method of meeting OSHA guard standards. As the metal mesh safety barriers are typically black, safety yellow or stainless steel, the machine operator’s eyes can easily focus on the point of operation. The safety curtains are lightweight, easy to install, are maintenance free and allow natural light visibility. Conveyor Systems Cascade Coil Guardian Coil® safety curtain aids in pinch point safety and overall conveyor safety . The metal mesh curtain provides a clear view of the equipment while keeping the operator safe. Cascade Coil Guardian Coil® Key Features: Fireproof and Virtually Maintenance Free 100% Fireproof, doesn't absorb oil, grease or other flammable liquids, can be easily cleaned. Damaged sections easily replaced by splicing in the new panels on site. Durability Superior break-through strength and corrosion resistance. Lightweight and long-lasting. Flexibility Expands and contracts in one direction allowing easy access to work areas. Dissipates a projectile's kinetic energy by enveloping around the object. Minimal structural support requirements due to lightweight construction. Wide assortment of stainless hooks, split rings, track systems, and other hardware is available. Enhances Supervision and Productivity The flow-through design allows ventilation and light into the work area. Visual observation of both the machinery and operator allows enhanced supervision, productivity, and safety. Custom Manufactured to your size and application specifications. Wide variety of weave sizes and materials available to suit application requirements. Unlimited variety of colours available. Installation Typically secured at the top and hangs free at both sides as well as the bottom.

Chain Feeder / Reclaimer

Chain Feeders for the reclaim of material from stockpiles or fed via trucks/front-end loaders to efficiently move materials. Standard sizes with capacities from 500 to 2,500 tph with the option of the electric or hydraulic drive.

Undercut Gates are generally used to control the flow of large (+4") material. They are generally of very robust construction to withstand the high impact loads and wear. Undercut gates can be designed to easily close through a column of large material without jamming. This is because the tolerances can be made large and the pinch point at the closed position easily eliminated. Undercut gates are not applicable for metering flow, are difficult to seal, and require more headroom than some other gate designs.

Coal Reject Truck Loading

HMA Reject Truck Loading gates are used at are a large number of mining operations due to the rugged design and simplicity of operation and maintenance. We have developed a number of standard designs depending on the type of reject material to be handled and amount of water present. An example of our water capture gate that features a single leaf, rather than the traditional dual leaf, with a fluid retention bund which directs the overflow to a launder and drains. This design significantly improves the safety of the operation, preventing spillage onto the truck and also local flooding and erosion around the footings of the reject bin. This rejects gate included its own hydraulic power pack to control the opening and closing of the gate.

Continuous Barge Unloaders

Continuous Barge Unloaders (CBU) are designed to unload coal, lime, limestone, petroleum coke, iron ore, wood chips and grain from barges. Continuous Barge Unloaders (CBU) have unloading free digging rates of up to 5,000 tons per hour. Continuous Barge Unloaders (CBU) are extremely efficient and maintains a much higher average offloading rate than other types of barge unloaders. Continuous Barge Unloaders (CBU) have a lower horsepower requirement compaired to pneumatic systems. Continuous Barge Unloaders (CBU) are very easy to operate and does not degrade fragile products. Continuous Barge Unloaders (CBU) can be installed quickly due to their modular construction. Dust collection units are also available.

Cranes & Winches The grillage lifting cranes are a pair of purpose-built fixed jib cranes which are bolted to the existing bridge deck. The cranes cantilever approximately 6.4 metres out from the end of the partially erected bridge deck. This is a sufficient distance to enable the new deck grillage to be hoisted vertically from a barge in the river and then bolted to the end of the previously erected deck section.
