Sandvik Mining, Schenck Process enter partnership

Sandvik Mining and Schenck Process signed a global partnership agreement, which will provide increased crushing circuit productivity for Schenck Process double- and single-deck banana screens and Sandvik cone crushers. According to the companies, this cooperation will provide them with an in-depth understanding of mining customers’ equipment, in addition to knowledge that will enable them to raise their crushing plant performance.

“In terms of replacements, Sandvik’s high-productivity cone crushers and Schenck Process’ high-capacity banana screens have compact footprints, thus allowing for cost effective upgrades using existing infrastructure,” says Jonas Olsson, vice president of crushing and screening for Sandvik Mining. “Twenty to 30 percent productivity increases can be achieved within the existing infrastructure.”

Mary Verschuer, president of minerals and metals for Schenck Process, believes this partnership will benefit both companies and their customers.

“This partnership agreement allows our customers to raise their overall crushing and screening plant productivity by focusing on process efficiency in its entirety, as opposed to individual pieces of equipment,” she says. “Mid-tier miners are often looking for a system solution across the crushing circuit and with this partnership they will benefit from the best solutions from the Sandvik and Schenck Process product line in a single offering.”
