This Sensor Goes WHERE?! L&H Industrial, Inc. Reaches 20 Feet Deep!

Mining equipment doesn’t always present problems that can be solved with off-the-shelf technology.

By combining mechanical expertise, machine experience, and advanced monitoring technology, the company engineers custom components that allow sensors to reach areas that were previously difficult or impossible to monitor.

In some applications, that can mean placing a sensor as deep as 20 feet inside a piece of equipment.

The key learning is simple: effective machine monitoring isn’t always about finding a better sensor. Sometimes, it’s about engineering the right way to get that sensor exactly where it needs to be.

L&H Industrial is also strengthening its manufacturing capabilities with a new lathe at its Gillette facility. The machine can process large components, including primary cone crusher shafts, in a single piece.

For mining operations, that can mean improved accuracy, reduced reliance on manual machining, and keeping critical work closer to the customer.

What if a street light could be installed in just 15 minutes?

Street lighting is changing. Instead of relying entirely on traditional utility connections and underground wiring, Streetleaf uses standalone solar and battery-powered units.

Watch the full episode featuring Streetleaf CEO Liam Ryan to learn more: https://youtu.be/jM8MMTy8hyQ

Each light operates independently, requires no underground wires, and can be installed in as little as 15 minutes. For developers, that means a simpler and faster alternative to traditional roadway lighting infrastructure.

Can Mine Scanners Survive Dust, Mud, and Rain?
Watch the full episode with Maptek: https://youtu.be/ShYj5mBhwxQ

A mine scanner is only useful if it can survive the environment it’s working in.

Mining sites expose equipment to dust, mud, rain, snow, and extreme low-light conditions. These challenges can affect both equipment reliability and the quality of captured imagery.

Maptek Sentry takes a different approach.

The scanner is IP65 rated to help protect against dust, dirt, mud, rain, and snow. It also combines a rugged yet lightweight physical design with integrated 4,000-lumen lighting.

Why does that matter?

Because underground and low-light environments can make visual data difficult to capture. The integrated lighting helps illuminate the scene so the central camera can capture better imagery.

Eriez Magnetic Mill Liners Increase Throughput by 14%!
Watch the episode: https://youtu.be/Kv-whPboRsw

How can mining operations process more material while reducing operating costs and extending equipment life?

In a case study discussed in this Mining NOW episode, Eriez’ magnetic mill liner system increased mill throughput from approximately 560 tons per hour to nearly 640 tons per hour, representing about a 14% increase.

The system also helped improve liberation and reduce circulating load by 3%. Magnetic mill liners can last significantly longer than conventional lining systems, with ball chips and fragments forming a protective layer that helps extend liner life.

For mining operators, the result can mean more material processed, reduced operating expenses, potential power savings and additional protection for downstream equipment.

This shows how the right equipment technology can improve grinding performance without requiring a complete overhaul of the operation.

Schurco Slurry: Heavy-Duty Mining Pumps & Fast Service Exchange to Eliminate Total Downtime
WATCH: https://youtu.be/VHtKJvu23wk

A single failed slurry pump can bring an entire mining operation to a standstill. Waiting weeks for replacement parts from legacy OEMs creates massive downtime and costs thousands per hour. Lean maintenance teams are often forced to handle complex bearing rebuilds on-site without adequate spare inventory or specialized training.

On this episode of Mining NOW, host Jerrod Downey sits down with Nicholas Schur, President & Owner of Schurco Slurry, to discuss how a laser focus on slurry pump manufacturing is solving these severe operational bottlenecks. Nicholas breaks down how maintaining extensive local inventory allows them to ship replacement units in hours rather than weeks. He also explains their Service Exchange Program—a solution that lets mines swap out failing pumps immediately, offload warranty risk, and eliminate unexpected downtime.

Special thanks to Nicholas, Lexi Schur, and Dennis Patterson for organizing this episode.

Emerson Part 1: Modern Mine Water Management & End-to-End Global Strategy
WATCH: https://youtu.be/Q5v0qVby7K8

Water scarcity is no longer just an environmental concern; it is a critical business risk that can halt mining operations entirely.

As freshwater sources become constrained and regulations tighten, mining companies are under intense pressure to optimize their water usage. The problem is that many legacy mines lack the modern measurement tools needed to track and control this vital resource effectively, leading to costly waste and compliance failures.

The solution? Smart, end-to-end measurement instrumentation.

In this episode of Mining NOW, host Jerrod Downey sits down with Victor, K. Mwaba, MBA and James Green from Emerson. They break down how Emerson's advanced technologies, such as non-intrusive flow meters and wireless sensor networks, are helping mines globally monitor tailings, optimize water recovery, and prevent expensive unplanned shutdowns.

Special thanks to Melina-Ivette Prado - BBA, CDMP, PCM and Dennis Patterson for organizing this episode. Watch the full episode here to learn how to future-proof your water management strategy.

WATCH: https://youtu.be/sX0zBrLKZLY

What happens when material stops moving in a mining operation?

Plugged transfer chutes, poor material flow, excessive wear, spillage, segregation, and conveyor problems can quickly lead to costly downtime and lost throughput.

On Mining NOW, host Jerrod Downey sits down with Tracy Holmes, David Craig, and Carrie Hartford of Jenike & Johanson to explore how mining companies can solve these challenges through bulk solids engineering, material testing, DEM, physical modeling, transfer chute design, and equipment solutions.

The episode explains why understanding material flow properties is critical and how science-based engineering can help mining operations prevent problems before they happen, improve throughput, reduce maintenance, and build more reliable material handling systems.

Watch the full episode to learn how Jenike & Johanson is helping the mining industry keep material moving.

MB Crusher Turns Oversized Material Into Reusable Material With Pulverizers!
WATCH: https://youtu.be/ncb3vfesF7c

What happens when material is simply too large for your crusher bucket?

MB Crusher’s pulverizer provides a practical solution by breaking oversized material into smaller pieces directly on the job site.

This allows contractors to reuse or recycle material instead of hauling large volumes away. The pulverizer also works alongside MB Crusher’s crusher buckets, breaking down material that is too large to fit through the bucket’s mouth.

The result? Material can be processed more efficiently, hauling volumes can be reduced, and fewer moving parts may be needed on the job site.

Watch the full episode to see how MB Crusher is helping contractors turn oversized material into reusable material.
