Materials handling: raising the bar for reliability and performance

Technical expertise series

Materials handling in mining involves complex interactions among billions of particles, challenging even the most experienced operators.

At Delonix Solutions, we approach this challenge from applied particle physics and smart flowsheets, managing segregation, impact, abrasion and flow.

Across the industry, cost blowouts and reduced plant capacity often stem from poor utilisation and unplanned shutdowns caused by equipment degradation and process failures.

Condition monitoring and predictive maintenance help identify and address many stoppages before they impact performance.

To address these challenges, Delonix Solutions delivers effective, fast-tracked crushing and comminution systems by combining process engineering, advanced digital modelling and off-site construction.

Our engineering team uses a well-defined system and specialised tools to design solutions optimised for performance, efficiency, safety, reliability and cost effectiveness. reducing time and risk on site.

Materials handling design backed by simulation and validation

Every project begins with thorough ore characterisation and flowsheet analysis, followed by simulation and validation using industry-leading tools such as discrete element modelling, finite element analysis and dynamic conveyor studies.

For highly cohesive ore, scale modelling or physical testing may also be required to ensure reliable performance.

This integrated approach delivers predictable performance, improved safety and greater cost certainty for high-throughput processing plants.

High-resolution digital twins provide a single source of truth for design, operations and maintenance, supporting data-driven reliability and streamlined asset management.

What sets Delonix Solutions apart is our commitment to helping clients achieve safer commissioning, higher availability and measurable improvements in sustainability.

Clients benefit from a clear pathway to operational excellence, supported by reliable, high-performance materials handling systems designed for the future of mining.
