Detour Lake Gold mine – Apron feeder
The Detour Lake open pit mine produces over 650,000 ounces of gold annually. To achieve this, more than 20 million tons of raw ore must be crushed. After a few years of operation, the primary crusher’s inlet chute had suffered a lot of wear and needed repair. Unfortunately, when the factory was constructed, it was not planned to build the entrance chute so that it could be replaced; it was embedded in the concrete structure of the building.

Facilitating maintenance for optimal productivity
TRINUM designed a new primary entrance chute to replace the existing structure. The new chute is removable to facilitate future maintenance. We also provided a repair procedure for the damaged structure. Finally, we established the installation procedure for the new elements.
