Mud Accumulator
Patented device that keeps cross cuts and tracks under box fronts clean — protecting tramming and reducing fines losses.
How it works
The Mud Accumulator is a patented device designed to keep cross cuts and the tracks beneath box fronts clean.
That allows efficient tramming, prevents spillage while pulling ore from the boxes and reduces fines losses on the footwalls of the cross cut.
Why crews choose it
- Cleaner cross cuts and tracks
- Efficient, uninterrupted tramming
