The primary outputs of SIMRAC Project GAP 508 are: the establishment of a standard pack testing methodology that can be applied to all pack types used in the gold and platinum mines, and the provision of new standard performance curves for a variety of packs. In order to complete this work, it was first deemed necessary to establish what types of packs are currently used in the mining industry, variations of these types and their prominence. Previous attempts at collecting this information had not been as successful as expected. Following several meetings with support suppliers, information on quantities was provided with details on pack types, sizes and configurations.
