Eriez has released an educational video detailing its StackCell high-intensity flotation technology, which separates bubble-particle contacting from froth phase separation to improve kinetics and concentrate grade. The system uses a small, high-shear contacting chamber feeding into a larger, low-turbulence tank, allowing finer grind flotation and reduced residence time compared with conventional mechanical cells. For plant designers, the modular StackCell arrangement offers potential footprint reductions and retrofit options in existing rougher–scavenger circuits without major civil changes.

Komatsu has strengthened its partnership with the Atlassian Williams Formula One team through a visit by F1 driver Carlos Sainz to its Sydney facility, reinforcing the OEM’s branding push in Australia’s civil and mining equipment markets. With more than 60 years of continuous Australian operations, Komatsu is using the alliance to showcase its heavy earthmoving and construction machinery directly to contractors and fleet customers. The move signals continued investment in local support, parts and service capability for high-utilisation plant on major infrastructure projects.

Andrew Neilson, who has led Weir Group’s strategy and sustainability functions for much of the past 15 years, is set to become the company’s next chief executive, signalling continuity in its push on tailings and process efficiency technologies. Weir has been promoting alternatives to conventional wet tailings, including higher-density and filtered tailings solutions integrated with its slurry pumps and dewatering equipment. For mine operators, the leadership change suggests ongoing investment in tailings management systems and wear-resistant process equipment rather than a pivot away from these core technical offerings.
