The U.S. Bureau of Mines (USBM) was the primary United States Government agency conducting scientific research and disseminating information on the extraction, processing, use, and conservation of mineral resources.
Founded on May 16, 1910, through the Organic Act (Public Law 179), USBM's missions ...
A continuous belt formed of fine screen wire travels horizontally between two drums. Pulp, fed from above, flows through together with the finer solids, while coarser material is discharged as the screen passes over the end drum.

A continuous conveyor (e.g., in the form of a rubber belt or of a steel apron, steelplate, or link construction) on which raw coal or ore is spread so that selected ingredients may be removed manually.

Industry:Mining
A continuous dewatering filter in which the membrane (filter cloth) is stretched on segments of a disk. These disks rotate through a tank of slurry. The vacuum inside the disk draws the liquid through the cloth to discharge; the solids forming a cake on the filter cloth are lifted clear of the slurry tank and separately discharged, by application of air pressure behind the filter cloth.

A continuous digging machine originally designed and used in large-scale stripping and mining of brown coal deposits in eastern Germany. Its digging mechanism is essentially a boom on which is mounted a rotating vertical wheel having buckets on its periphery. As the rotating wheel is pressed into the material to be dug, the buckets cut, gather, and discharge the material onto a conveyor belt where it is moved to the mined materials transport system.

A continuous distributor consisting of a steel open-topped box filled with stone dust. Resting on the surface of the stone dust is a steel plate 1/4 in (0.64 cm) in thickness fitting loosely into the box and perforated with holes 3/16 in (0.48 cm) in diameter. The plate is connected by a series of chains and levers to a lever between the rails on either the loaded or empty side of the roadway. Each tub passing along depresses the lever and causes the steel plate to be lifted. A counterweight restores the track lever to vertical and the plate falls, causing a puff of stone dust to be ejected through each hole into the ventilating current. Thus stone dusting keeps pace with output.
Industry:Mining
A continuous method of making ingots or billets for sheet or extrusion by pouring the metal into a short mold. The base of the mold is a platform that is gradually lowered while the metal solidifies, the frozen shell of metal acting as a retainer for the liquid metal below the wall of the mold. The ingot is usually cooled by the impingement of water directly on the mold or on the walls of the solid metal as it is lowered. The length of the ingot is limited by the depth to which the platform can be lowered; therefore, it is often called semicontinuous casting.
Industry:Mining
A continuous method of melting and casting metal with progressive solidification. The molten metal is completely protected from the atmosphere. There is minimum segregation, and as no refractory linings are used, there is no contamination. Sound ingots with high yield and no pipe are produced, and as the method possesses extreme flexibility it is possible to make small as well as relatively large ingots.
