As you might have heard, IMA Engineering is moving. Yes, we confirm that! We outgrew our house, so there wasn't enough space.

Last week, we talked about how companies use it all around the world, in different mining applications. Now, we take the Autosampler underground. The IMA Autosampler drill cuttings sampling, splitting and bagging device which has been used in surface drilling applications all over world has found a new application in drilling.

When working with drill cuttings sampling analysis we noticed that the conventional samplers with riffle and cone type sample splitters that take physical samples from drill chip were not giving good enough representative samples. We thought that there has to be a better way - and came up with the Autosampler, our drill cuttings sampling device.

Join us on November 11, from 5:00 pm in the Discussion Group where Ilpo Auranen will talk about Ore Sorting Deepdive.

During the COVID19 crises traveling to mining sites is difficult. This might be a challenge for the foreseeable future. Even before the current crises, IMA embarked on a digital transformation journey to be able to support its customers remotely and to reduce its carbon footprint due to traveling related emissions.

In times of distress IMA Engineering, took measures to minimize human exposure to COVID19. While working remotely, we are still fully operational and committed to supporting our clients wherever they are on the planet. Just drop us a line and will be happy to connect with you.

A new year brings new opportunities and this is also the case for IMA in 2020. We are excited to share with you a few pieces of news regarding the year ahead. Our growth plans for 2020 are focused mainly on the South American market.

The new Era of modern sorting is here. IMA will explain Modern Sorting in the coming weeks and months with examples and cases.

We invite you all to enjoy a glass of wine with us and meet other Mining Finland members and stakeholders in a small cocktail event.

Another year comes to an end. For IMA 2018 was amazing and full with new opportunities to grow. But before we even begin to highlight our year, we would like to take this opportunity to thank our employees, our business and government partners as well as customers who made this year a great success.

Towards Sustainable Mining with IMA and ITERAMS

The first annual ITERAMS project meeting was organized by SOMINCROR in Vilamoura, Portugal between 28 and 31 of May 2018. The meetings, mine and concentrator visits were very interesting and a great learning experience for the whole team.

IMA Engineering attended the SME Annual Conference & Expo 2018 earlier this year. During the conference, IMA together with Outotec Finland gave a keynote on the latest developments in bulk ore sorting. Get the keynote from the event.

IMA was pleased to participate at the general meeting of the ITERAMS project held at Hotel Front Maritim, between and 30.11 amd 1.12.2017 in Barcelona, Spain.

Ima Engineering is taking part in the EU-funded project ITERAMS, "Integrated Mineral Technologies for More Sustainable Raw Material Supply".

Sample collection for ITERAMS WP1 (Sample collection for other tasks and work packages) has started in co-operation between Boliden Kevitsa, Ima Engineering, Leoben University and Oulu University. The team planned and executed the kick-off meeting and the first sampling campaign in Kevitsa Mine. The team studied Kevitsa Mine orebody mineralogy, potential locations of suitable geo-polymer locations and then collected the first set of samples from blast benches and tailings area. Samples were then splitted and transported to Oulu.
