Toka Tindung – 11x Longer Wear Life on Ball Mill Piping

Here’s how the reliability team at Toka Tindung got 11x more wear out of their slurry piping.

The team were chasing better wear performance from the piping around their ball mill. The standard mining hoses they were using wore out within weeks.

Not ideal for one of the largest gold mining operations in Asia.

A member of the team had seen good results with ceramic-lined mining hose at another site and thought it would be a good fit at Toka Tindung.

Ceramic-lined mining hose gives you the benefits of mining hose – flexibility – with better wear resistance from the ceramic tiles embedded into the liner.

The result?

The Slurryflex CLX hoses have outperformed standard hose by 11 to 1.

It’s a simple change that improved productivity – and saved hundreds of maintenance hours replacing worn mining hoses.
