Project Details

Project Description

The Centre will become a reserarch partner of choice for manufacturers supplying innovative components into the mining sector. The aim is to enable Australian manufacturers to produce world’s best performance in long-life, wear resistant mining components to supply miners with the efficiencies and cost reductions they need following the end of the mining super-cycle. The Centre will create a unique training environment via its across-the-supplychain partnerships involving metal part producers, pump and crusher manufacturers, mining systems suppliers, miners, consultancies, industry bodies and the sector Growth Centre. A key outcome will be new highly competitive Australian products providing efficiencies in mines around the globe.
