Segnut Goes Global: Zambia Welcomes Segnut

Segnut Goes Global: Zambia Welcomes Segnut

Aug 31, 2021

One of the biggest copper producing mines in Africa has become the second of First Quantum Minerals’ operations to adopt Segnut.
FQM adopted Engentus’s innovative Segnut in late 2018 at its Kansanshi operations and was the first mining company to adopt Segnut into its day-to-day operations. Segnut is used in the Sentinel copper mine to retain the wear liners on chutes and other fixed plant elements. Segnut has reduced the removal time and minimised the need for high energy removal methods such as hot works and rattle guns. This uniquely allows for a highly productive and lower risk work environment.

Maintenance Productivity & Safety Gains – Successful Trials at Rio Tinto

Maintenance Productivity & Safety Gains – Successful Trials at Rio Tinto

Dec 5, 2019

After nearly two years of close cooperation including technical trials, laboratory tests and rigorous field trials, Segnut has been officially accepted by BHP for use in its WA Iron Ore operations. In 2017, the screen house at Mount Whaleback mine caught fire as a result of hotworks being used to remove a seized nut. In Segnut, BHP found a means of removing the need for hot works to remove seized fasteners, that requires no special tools, nor changes to the design of the chutes, wear liners or other equipment. By replacing common hex nuts on wear liners and hard skirts on conveyors, BHP aims to remove the risk of a hot works (spark–ignited) fire in areas of high fuel load, such a screen houses and car dumpers.
