If you are interested in using Alderox® at your mine site, please contact us via e-mail at or phone at (303) 502-0025. We can provide you with a full mining information package via the mail or e-mail.
For further interested parties, we will send out a 5 gallon sample of product and a bucket-top applicator system free of charge. The applicator system is custom built according to your specific application. This step is to allow our customers to try our product to ensure that Alderox® works for their ore type and environment; and that Alderox® does not affect their downstream processing circuit.
Our Standard bucket-top applicator system houses the following specifications:
- 100 psi pump
- 54 inch wand (36 inch base wand with 18 inch extension)
- Angle of Spray: 40 deg
- Size of Orifice: 0.03 gallons per minute
- Standard hose length: 20 feet
- Country-specific Electric Power
We can substitute the following variations:
- Higher pressure pump (150 psi with ball valve)
- Longer wands for better reach (up to a solid 84 inch wand)
- Shorter wands for ease of use
- Larger tips to reduce overspray (up to 0.05 gpm)
- Longer hose length
- Any electric power (voltage) requirements
The next step is generally to schedule an on-site meeting with the Alderox team. At the on-site meetings, a combination of the following work can be accomplished at the customer’s request:
- PowerPoint presentation meeting
- On-site demonstration
- Site survey and evaluation
The site survey and evaluation is to determine the best method of applying Alderox®. Questions that will be answered are:
- How often will Alderox® need to be used?
- How much Alderox® will be needed each spray?
- What effects will the temperature have on the effectiveness of the product?
- What type of applicator system should be used?
- Is there an off-the-shelf solution or will a custom-built system be required?
- What is the lead time on the project being fully operational?
- How will the product reach the mine?
- Where will the product be stored?
The last step, then, is to enter into a long-term supply agreement with Alderox Inc. With that, we can ensure adequate production of Alderox® ASA-12® for your mine for years to come!
