Eriez: Hopper Design Flaws Are Capping Feeder Performance I Lima Mining Summit Closes, Drawing 5,500+ Worldwide I

Eriez Study Pinpoints Hopper Design Flaws Affecting Feeder Performance

According to a new Eriez® technical paper, badly designed hopper transitions are a common and often underestimated reason vibratory feeding systems underperform. Titled “Optimising Hopper Transitions: Design Guidelines for Maximum Hopper-to-Feeder Performance,” the paper presents practical engineering parameters to help processors achieve consistent material flow, protect equipment, and realise the full rated capacity of vibratory feeders across a wide range of bulk handling applications.

DRC Mineral Beneficiation in Focus as Buenassa CEO Addresses African Mining Week

Eddy Kioni, CEO of Buenassa – the DRC’s first integrated metals trading company specializing in the supply of domestically beneficiated minerals – has confirmed his participation as a speaker at African Mining Week (AMW) 2026, taking place from October 14–16 in Cape Town.

Lima Closes Out a Landmark Mining Summit: 5,500+ from Around the World Attend

Peru successfully concluded the 27th World Mining Congress (WMC 2026), the world’s leading mining event, which transformed Lima into the global meeting point for industry leaders, government authorities, academics, international organizations, and experts to discuss the decisive role mining will play in addressing the world’s major challenges.

From Belt to Balance Sheet: Precision mass flow measurement in mining conveyors

The movement of bulk solids is constant, high volume, and tightly linked to production efficiency. From crushed ore to processed aggregates, materials are typically transported via conveyor belts or screw conveyors, forming the backbone of continuous production. While this seems pretty straightforward, the real challenge lies in knowing exactly how much material is moving at any given moment.

BME is building the future: connected, AI-powered mining

n the fast-evolving mining industry, BME – a member of the Omnia Group – is transforming traditional blasting from a rock-breaking activity into a sophisticated, data-driven enabler of safer, more efficient, and sustainable operations.

Op:Ed: South America’s mining moment – opportunity, pressure, and the race to execute

South America is increasingly becoming one of the most strategically important mining regions for the future stability of global copper and lithium supply. Chile, Peru, and Argentina sit at the centre of two minerals that are critical to the global economy: copper, which underpins electrification and infrastructure development, and lithium, which remains essential for energy storage and battery supply chains.
