Case Study

Luanchuan Hengyu Mining Co., Ltd.

Customer Introduction

Luanchuan Hengyu Mining Co., Ltd (Hengyu Mining) was established in 2006 and currently extracts approximately 1.45 million tons of rock annually through open-pit mining. HPY Technology played a crucial role in helping Hengyu Mining significantly enhance its processing capacity from 5,000 tons per day to 8,000 tons per day. This improvement enables Hengyu Mining to pre-reject waste rock, leading to increased production, reduced energy consumption, and lower carbon emissions. These operational enhancements translate into annual economic benefits of approximately $6.33 million USD. The positive outcomes of these efforts have provided robust support for Hengyu Mining's application to be recognized as a "National Green Mine."

Project

Hengyu Mining has consistently adhered to environmental regulations and has its own philosophy of “Green Waters and Green Mountains are Equal to Golden and Silver Mountains”. While still focusing on enhancing molybdenum recovery rates, the company also committed itself to developing and operating a modernized green mine. To enhance production efficiency, enrich ore grade, and generate greater economic and environmental benefits, Hengyu Mining explored using sensor-based ore sorting. After reviewing several options, Hengyu worked with HPY Technology to utilize their XRT ore sorting machines for their molybdenum ore. Through machine vision imaging, AI analysis, and high-pressure air jets, the system efficiently and effectively sorts economically viable molybdenum ore and waste rock.
