Nyrstar Slag Caster Discharge Chute

Nyrstar Port Pirie (Nyrstar) engaged AEP Elical to undertake Concept Design and Detailed Engineering Design for the Slag Caster Bin Discharge Chute. The Slag Caster Bin was originally intended to operate as a surge bin that discharges into two apron feeders which then feed to the TSL by way of a series of conveyors. Due to cost restraints during the Port Pirie Transformation Project (PPTP), this materials handling system was not installed but replaced with direct feed from the slag caster to a product bunker by way of extending the overflow chutes.
