Mining Industry

Comprehensive handling solutions for mining operations across the globe

One of the most demanding environments for plant and equipment, the mining sector demands the highest quality standards when it comes to plant and equipment.

For decades, the Greenbank Group has delivered a broad spectrum of products and services to the mining industry, including the design, manufacture and installation of bespoke bulk material handling systems.

From conventional bulk material conveying systems and belt weighers to abrasion-resistant lined pipework, chutes and bunkers, our team of expert engineers has a proven track record of delivering reliable and cost-effective solutions for mining operations of all sizes.

Our expertise in the use of cast basalt, alumina ceramic and other wear-resistant linings has seen Greenbank lead on the installation of new bulk handling systems in mines across the world, as well as the refurbishment of and upgrades to existing mining equipment.

Employing the latest advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and discrete element method (DEM) modelling techniques, as well as 3D laser scanning and mapping, we can manage projects from start to finish – drawing on cross-sector experience to provide comprehensive solutions for mine operators looking to enhance performance and drive down operational costs while reducing their impact on the environment.
