Webinars

Presented by Mark Klein & Charles Barnett

The mining industry plays a critical role in driving economic growth, and U.S. companies are leading the way in supplying the energy materials that power global industries. Join the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) – an independent U.S. government agency that helps level the playing field for American exporters competing in global markets – for a webinar focused on export growth opportunities for U.S. manufacturers and suppliers in the mining sector.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how EXIM’s financing tools and risk mitigation programs can help you:

• Safeguard against buyer nonpayment and enable you to offer credit terms to international buyers
• Finance capital equipment exports
• Access working capital to expand domestic production or infrastructure capacity
• Support international projects involving critical minerals and raw materials

The webinar will feature insights from Mark Klein, Acting Vice President of Sales & Channel Marketing in EXIM’s Office of Small Business, and Charles Barnett, Vice President of the China and Transformational Exports Program.

Electric Rope Shovels (ERS) remain the backbone of surface mining, responsible for moving millions of tons of material efficiently and reliably. This webinar will provide participants with a comprehensive overview of ERS machines, focusing on their evolution, design principles, and modern advancements.

We will begin with a historical perspective on how ERS machines have shaped large-scale mining operations, followed by a deep dive into their electrical and mechanical systems. The session will emphasize critical innovations such as operator-assist technologies, digital condition monitoring, cycle segmentation strategies, and integration with PLC-SCADA platforms. The webinar is designed to provide valuable knowledge for engineers, mining professionals, researchers, and students, offering both technical depth and practical insights. Participants will leave with a clear understanding of how ERS technology continues to evolve to meet the industry’s challenges, from electrification to digital transformation.

Weir has recently upgraded its range of ENDURON® crushers. Engineered for high performance and ease of installation, commissioning and maintenance, the project has been built of Weir’s legacy of technical excellence and is the culmination of extensive customer consultation.

Firstly, Weir’s new ENDURON® jaw crusher, which features an updated Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU). The new HPU controls the pressure to the auto-tensioning hydraulic cylinders, ensuring the correct tension on the retraction springs. This provides true push-button control of the CSS adjustment via the wedge system throughout the full wear range of the jaw dies.

The full range of ENDURON® jaw crushers now also feature ESCO® wear parts. After extensive test campaigns, the upgrades demonstrate that in addition to improving productivity, the ESCO® wear parts prolong wear life, which means increased utilization and, as a result, fewer maintenance interventions.

Weir has also upgraded its range of ENDURON® cone crushers, replacing the previous internals with ESCO® wear liners and upgrading the Hydraulic and Lubrication Power Unit (H/LPU). The new H/LPU features clear control panel indicators for more user-friendly operation, while the high quality, globally sourced components include plug-and-play connectors for rapid installation.

The full range of ENDURON® cone crushers feature a new, unified automation platform and enhanced digital sensor package to ensure easy installation, operation and maintenance.

The ENDURON® crushers are fully supported by Weir’s service network, offering unrivalled support and local expertise across the globe.
