Weba Chutes – Measurement proves performance.

Weba Chutes – Measurement proves performance.

Any mine that invests in a new piece of equipment expects to see performance improvement, and this needs to be measured and proven. Weba Chute Systems provide a scientific approach to measuring which they claim, leaves no doubt in the customer’s mind, and provides assurance that their newly installed Weba Chute System will reduce the total cost of ownership.

Izak Potgieter, ISO systems manager at Weba Chute Systems, said the company conducts in-depth product measurements to make sure that its products are performing. In terms of dust management, for instance, this includes measuring dust levels of conventional chutes on the mine – even before the Weba product is installed.

“Our measuring procedures include a dust analysis programme that can compare a conventional chute with our custom-engineered product,” he says. “Our report to the customer sets out the details of our methodology, the results and the implications in terms of the Occupational Health and Safety (OSH) Act.”

Of particular importance is the exact quantity of smaller dust particles, in the size range below 0,3 microns, that are generated by material passing through the chute. Potgieter highlights that seeing the precise data from these scientific measuring techniques is an assurance to the customer of the value delivered by its chutes.
