New Gold Inc., Canada shares a logistical solution for adhering to testing and inspection certification when transporting copper concentrate. The research discusses containerised bulk handling and the benefits of the operation. It then discusses in more detail taking samples of the moisture in the copper concentrate and recording the data for its own bulk handling operation.
“The principal objective was to verify the characteristics and behaviour of the copper concentrate during transportation from the mine in Canada to a port. Two access hatches were incorporated into the proposed design of each rotainer lid, for the purpose of obtaining samples for pre-shipment moisture determination in compliance with the IMSBC Code.”
