Backfill Water Reticulation System
Stops flushing water pushing fines through backfill bags into the cross cut.
How it works
Eziload has developed a water reticulation system that prevents backfill flushing water filtering through the backfill bag and stope, which is what pushes fines out into the cross cut and causes massive spillages under the box fronts.
That removes the loading-and-hoppering step before tramming can commence — the crew keeps moving ore instead of clearing washed-out fines.
Why crews choose it
- Prevents fines washing into cross cuts
- Removes pre-tram cleanup
- Keeps tramming on schedule
