NEWS
Salacot Makes Engine Repairs
(Through the courtesy of Messen, G.A. Harriman & Co.)
The following report on progress made on repairing the power plant of the Balacot Mining Company. and on operations in general, was made to the Bulletin recently.
"After the Arst accident to the Diesels, and also on account of
more serious accidents to similar engines at other plants the manu- facturers of the equipment advis- ed the company that owing to faulty design that they recom- mended additional bearings being installed; and that pending the arrival of these parts from the factory, the generators should be slowed down from 350 to 330 re- volutions per minute,
"This was done, but the slowing of the engines caused a slowing down of the ball mills, and a con- sequent decrease of grinding capa- city, which in great part governs the milling capacity.
девя
"The first engine, was stopped. the changes made, and the engine returned to service on July 28, The second engine was then stop- ped and is still undergoing altera tions.
"During the time of these re-' pairs, one engine has had to carry the entire load, so that it was necessary to
mine operate the compressor and the mill grinding department alternately. One ball mill, therefore, works all of the time and the other one but half of the time..
The shortage of compressed afr as a consequence, has forced the suspension of part of the develop- ment work, so that all available air can be devoted to ore produc- tion.
"Some changes have occurred in the staff, due to several men leav- ing. lured by higher salaries pro- mised by other companies; but they have been replaced by 'com- petent men.
