Chemtech solves mining equipment issues by using Rocky DEM

Siemens Chemtech uses computer simulation tools to develop low-cost and high-benefit solutions

Siemens Chemtech - a high-end industrial engineering company based in Brazil - uses computer simulation tools, including Rocky DEM, to develop low-cost, high-benefit solutions for equipment problems detected in an iron ore extraction mine.

Chemtech uses Rocky DEM to:

• Identify equipment design problems during the expansion of an iron ore beneficiation plant
• Simulate several solutions for possible equipment fixes
• Evaluate the efficiency of the chosen solution upon the equipment

Discover how Rocky DEM helped Chemtech to:

• Discover low-cost solutions that had the least amount of impact to the equipment structure
• Demonstrate to the customer that Chemtech’s solution was effective
• Reduce up to 80% the arrival speed of the material onto the conveyor belt
• Limit plant stop time and avoid large losses
