BID Canada designs and manufactures custom bulk material handling equipment for mining and mineral processing applications. Our team collaborates with clients, engineering firms and project partners to tailor equipment around the material being handled. The approach considers the required capacity, site conditions and the overall system layout.
Additionally, we collaborate with clients, engineering firms and project partners to tailor equipment around the material being handled. The approach considers the required capacity, site conditions and the overall system layout. Our team also provides ongoing service, spare parts and optimization to maximize uptime.
Based in Woodstock, New Brunswick, BID provides engineering, fabrication and material handling expertise for projects across North America.
No two mining projects have exactly the same material handling requirements. Material characteristics, tonnage, transfer points, elevation changes, environmental conditions and available space all influence how a system should be designed.
BID works with customers from the early stages of a project through detailed engineering, fabrication and installation.
Additionally, we can provide individual pieces of equipment for an existing operation.
Furthermore, we can also develop multiple components as part of a larger material handling system.
Our mining material handling capabilities include:
Conveyors are a critical connection between mining, processing, storage and transportation.
BID designs and manufactures custom conveyor systems based on the requirements of the application rather than relying on a standard configuration. Conveyor length, capacity, belt width, loading conditions, material characteristics, incline and site layout can all be considered during the engineering process.
For new facilities, conveyors can be developed as part of the overall material flow plan. For existing operations, BID can also engineer equipment to integrate with established infrastructure and address specific transfer or capacity requirements.
For projects requiring long conveyor runs, BID’s Alpha Truss Conveyor System provides a modular approach to conveyor structure.
The patent-pending system was developed to simplify the engineering and manufacturing of conveyor trusses through standardized modular sections while maintaining the ability to configure the system around individual project requirements.
This approach can be particularly valuable for large bulk material handling projects where conveyor routing, structural requirements and project schedules need to be considered together.
Effective bulk material handling involves more than moving material along a conveyor.
Transfer points, chutes, bins and hoppers influence how material enters, leaves and moves between pieces of equipment. BID designs and fabricates these components around the specific material and application.
Whether the requirement is part of a new system or an upgrade to an existing operation, our engineering and fabrication teams can develop components that integrate with surrounding equipment and structures.
Mining and mineral processing operations place significant demands on material handling equipment.
BID combines in-house engineering with fabrication capabilities at our Woodstock, New Brunswick facility, allowing our team to consider both how equipment needs to perform and how it will be manufactured.
Our approach considers factors including material characteristics, operating capacity, equipment access, maintenance requirements, structural conditions and integration with existing systems.
The result is equipment designed around the realities of the operation rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
Minerals and metals are essential to infrastructure, manufacturing, energy systems and modern technology. As investment in critical mineral production and processing continues across Canada and North America, reliable infrastructure will remain an important part of bringing these projects into operation.
Canada’s Critical Minerals Strategy is focused on expanding domestic mineral production and processing and strengthening the infrastructure and supply chains that connect resources to markets.
For BID, that growth aligns closely with what we have been doing for decades: engineering and manufacturing equipment that helps industrial operations move bulk materials safely and efficiently.
BID can become involved at different stages of a mining or mineral processing project.
We regularly work alongside owners, engineering consultants and other project partners to turn material handling requirements into equipment that can be manufactured, installed and maintained in real operating environments.
Whether the project involves a single conveyor or multiple pieces of an integrated bulk material handling system, our goal is straightforward: understand what needs to move, where it needs to go and what the equipment needs to do to get it there reliably.
