Summary
A technical position responsible for designing and developing mechanical equipment for ore dressing plants that separate and recover valuable minerals from ore.
Description
Ore dressing machine design engineers use CAD and simulations to design and develop mechanical equipment used in ore dressing processes such as crushing, flotation, magnetic separation, and gravity separation. They select mechanical elements according to ore properties and processing flows, verify performance through strength calculations and fluid analysis, connect to mass production through prototyping and field tests, and implement optimal designs considering maintainability and cost. Collaboration with teams, other departments, and customers is required, and compliance with environmental regulations and safety standards is important.
Future Outlook
With resource development and strengthening of environmental regulations, demand for high-efficiency, low-environmental-impact ore dressing machine design will remain stable. Design capabilities for smart plants incorporating IoT and digital twins are required.
