Linatex Americas
Linatex Americas Receives Hose Order Worth over 1 Million US Dollars: Linatex Americas announces it has been contracted to provide tailings line hose for a New Mexico mining operation. The order includes over 1800 feet of large diameter hoses that will be manufactured at both the Gallatin and Chile plants over the next three months. Congratulations to a great team effort that includes Linatex personnel in both North and South America.
Linatex China
Linatex dewatering plants continue to make Chinese mine sites a safer place Linatex has made further in roads in the Chinese coal industry with additional sales of their proprietary coal dewatering plants. The plants are specifically designed to address the issue of build-up of solids in underground settlement ponds, which can be extremely disruptive and difficult to manage for mines and mine site employees, requiring huge time commitment and effort to be cleaned out.
The Linatex solution avoids sump build-up of entrained solids and the need for an expensive, laborious and potentially hazardous clean-up. The plants operate remotely without operators and continuously produce dry product at a minimum of 90 percent solids. The dewatering plants also incorporate flame proof motors and steel screen media, making them ideal for volatile underground mining situations.
Continued Success by Linatex China with Design Institutes/Engineering Houses
Linatex has also been extremely successful in recent times with it's range of product and service offerings to the Chinese mining services market. Recent project wins have involved supply of the new G4 cyclone clusters to projects both within and outside China that are managed by some of China's largest design institutes or engineering houses. Linatex has completed a number of projects for these same organisations involving rubber lining using premium Linatex rubber and lining resources managed in China by Linatex project managers. The fact that Linatex is present in China with a wholly owned enterprise and a significant global footprint provides an ideal recipe for these partnership arrangements to benefit both customers and Linatex.
