RCT is proud of a long-standing partnership with Barminco and AUMS to deliver innovative solutions to overcome challenges at their mining operations.
Barminco and AUMS are constantly embracing new technology that will deliver value to their clients. RCT and Barminco share a long history and have worked together to deliver technology to their mining operations.
The most recent innovation we have partnered together on is to eliminate transmission and engine damage of the Atlas Copco MT60-20 vehicles at an AUMS project in Burkina Faso, West Africa.
Together we have installed a speed limiter, engine overspeed system into the vehicles, through our collaboration it ensured a smooth installation of this new system.
This system is used to monitor speeds both on the surface and underground to ensure safe works on declines within the mines, to ensure safety in a restricted environment, reduce damage on the engine, drive line and overall reduce damage to the machines while underground.
By installing this device, Barminco can continue to deliver safer and more productive mining operations for their clients.
World-leading autonomous solutions specialist RCT is pleased to have executed a project with African Underground Mining Services (AUMS) at the Siou underground gold mine in Burkina Faso.
Earlier this year RCT commissioned its ControlMaster® Guidance Automation technology on two of Siou’s CAT R2900G underground loaders and supplied two associated Automation Centres.
Guidance Automation enables the loaders to operate with minimal intervention by machine operators located in the Automation Centres either on the surface of the mine or in a secure location in the underground mine.
The automation solution improves safety onsite by relocating mine personnel away from the mine face and reducing unplanned maintenance downtime by eliminating machine operator errors.
RCT’s African-based staff has provided comprehensive training to machine operators and will continue to provide ongoing after-sales support to AUMS.
