IPUT Technologies

Materials handling and process upgrades in coal, iron ore and mineral sands, including high throughput self-driven dozer trap mining units. Project work undertaken includes coal preparation plant modification and upgrades, reclaim and stacker systems, dozer traps, truck & rail loading / receival systems, yard and overland conveyors, loop take-ups, bins & hoppers, ore receival & crushing, feed systems, sizing systems, mining development, general infrastructure, grain silo conveyors, etc. Work performed has included extensive experience with conveyors and general mining equipment. Full materials handling maintenance and management contract services have also been provided very successfully. Autonomous maintenance management of select or complete materials handling and beneficiation / processing systems can be offered to reduce overall operating and whole of life costs. In 2013 iPUT commenced an innovative business development growth phase to implement iPUT's beneficiation plant step change throughput increase technology in coal and mineral sands, also applicable to a range of other minerals; In mid 2014 iPUT also commenced development of clean coal technology applications and implementation models, see www.iput.au/lac. A full scale implementation of our throughput increasing technology was installed at a major Bowen Basin Qld coal mine in 2016 and this proof-of-concept installation has since indisputably proven the success of the technology to underpin throughput / ash reduction upgrades. In 2017 a fully mobile dozer trap application for the high throughput technology was developed, able to mine at rates up to 2,000t/hr in one configuration, or 3,500t/hr in another. In 2021, the sustained R&D effort, including substantial operational feedback from multiple sources keen to see industry benchmarks lifted with a machine like this, finally brought this machine to market.
