About Ridgecast
Circuits, machines and wear parts from a single works: one drawing office, one fabrication bay, one crew on the pad.
Ridgecast designs, builds and commissions crushing, screening and conveying circuits for hard-rock mines and quarries. The work is done from one address in Sheffield: the drawing office that writes the mass balance, the fabrication bay that builds the steel, and the crew that bolts it together on the mine’s pad.
How the work is ordered
A plant starts as a sample and a product list. The mass balance fixes the tonnes and the sizes at every node; the machines are sized against that balance; the steelwork is drawn to a revision that is frozen before fabrication starts. The revision number is what keeps the drawings and the commissioning sheet talking about the same plant.
Three standard circuits, and the ones in between
An open-pit plant, an underground transfer station and a quarry aggregate line cover most of what we are asked for. The underground station is the one that changes the design method rather than the tonnage: everything has to fit a roadway cross-section and be assembled by the mine’s own crew.
Two desks, one works
Applications and wear parts answer on separate numbers because they are different work. A reline is planned against the wear baseline from commissioning; a new circuit starts with the sample.
