RME BOLTBOSS

RME BOLTBOSS is an integrated technology toolset that allows SAG, AG and ball mill liner bolts to be secured from outside the mill during new liner placement. The system enables safer liner installation by eliminating the need for reline crew to be on the mill charge and in the vicinity of mill relining machine (MRM) movements during liner placement.

BENEFITS

Transforms risk and safety: holds, installs and secures liner bolts from outside the mill.
Improves process efficiency: liner bolts are fixed in place before entering the mill.
Reduces confined space, at-height and mobile plant operational hazards for reline crews.
Universal system suitable for SAG, AG and ball mills.
Works with a range of liner designs including feed, shell and pulp lifters from leading OEMs.
Avoids liner installation challenges associated with other liner bolting solutions.
Requires less crew for placement to improve resource allocation to value-adding activities.
Enables MRM operators to increase liner manipulation speed without risk to crew safety.
Reduces the duration of the liner placement phase.
Creates new opportunities to improve mill availability.
