FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 22, 2011
New Richmond, WI - Liquid Waste Technology (LWT) has delivered and installed its new remote controlled diesel powered Mud Cat™ dredge to the Minera Esperanza mine site in Chile. The new remotely operated dredge has stainless steel construction, an extreme duty Toyo™ mining pump and reliable Cat™ 78 HP diesel engine for handling tailings in mining ponds.
The radio remote
operated dredge is all stainless steel
construction for long life. LWT equipped the
dredge with exclusive automation options to
improve productivity and ease of use, such as
Bottom Sense™ and Auto-Sense™. Using Bottom
Sense™, dredge's auger-head will automatically
raise and lower to follow the bottom's contour
eliminating the risk of damage to the pond liner.
The Auto Sense™ feature increases operator
productivity by allowing the dredge to stop the
dredge's forward movement automatically and return
to the point of origin to await the next command.
The dredge was equipped with LWT's Solids Sense™
feature, which adjusts the speed of the dredge to
optimize a predetermined percentage of solids
established by the operator. This feature assists
the dredge operator to maintain maximum production
of solids at a specified flow rate and minimizes
the labor required to operate the dredge. It is
ideal for both de-watering and continuous process
systems. LWT provides start-up field training to
ensure continued quality performance and safety.
During the commissioning, a series of test runs
are initiated to fine-tune the dredge's
performance and to adjust the automated system to
match the customer's requirements.
