The Courier 5i SL Analyzer Shelter is available for both greenfield and brownfield projects

Reference case:
The Hitura Nickel Mine was established in 1970. The mine
was operational until 2007, when it was closed down.
Belvedere Resources Limited, a Canadian mining company
purchased the Hitura Mine and decided to restart nickel
production in 2010. The mine also produces cobalt and
copper as byproduct, and it has customers around the world.
After the decision to restart mining operations, upgrades
were required as the analyzers dated back to the early 1980s
there were no new spare parts available for the computer
equipment, and the software knowledge was very limited.
The existing Courier slurry analyzer and the Proscon 210
automation systems could have been used by the mine for
the next couple of years but not longer, so the company
decided to modernize the analyzer and automation systems
and bring them up to date. The Hitura Mine took delivery of
a Courier 5i SL Analyzer Shelter with Proscon 2100 Upgrade
in September 2010.
For the Hitura Mine, the
Outotec Courier 5i SL Analyzer
Shelter is the perfect match,
as the concentrator has
limited space, says Oskari
Vetri, Project Manager at
Outotec.

There were no unpleasant


surprises upon delivery. I
was positively surprised by
the speed and how well the
container fitted into place

The customer was offered


the shelter solution as it
provides a safe and pleasant
working environment for the
operators, as well as reliable
Belvedere
online sampling and easy
automation. The installed shelter also protects the analyzer
and automation equipment from dust, dirt and water in
the challenging conditions in the concentrator hall. Clean
equipment is easy, pleasant and safe to use, and it also lasts
longer, Oskari continues.
Outotec offered us the Courier in a shelter, and overall the
proposal was good the only worry at first was how it would
fit into our small and tight production facilities, says Vin
Rnk, Mill Manager of Belvedere Mining Oy, Hitura Mine.
It is not that simple to install new equipment in old
production facilities, but the planning and the sizing was
done so well that there were no unpleasant surprises upon
delivery. I was positively surprised by the speed and how well

the container fitted into place.


The removal of the old Courier
30 and installation of the new
one took two weeks, yet we
were able to continue our
process without an analysis.
In the installation phase the
Vin Rnk operators were trained on
Mill Manager the new equipment. For a
Mining Oy, Hitura Mine small organization like ours,
the training can be easily
conducted inside the container itself, Vin adds.
The sizing of the delivered container was good; it offers us
good facilities in which to work and operate. The analyzer in
a container is a compact package, and as the equipment is in
the shelter they remain in good condition. The equipment is
user friendly, the technical performance is good and it serves
us well, no complaints, Vin summarizes.
