Brant Tapley founded Mintap Services Pty Ltd in Perth, Western Australia in 2012 focused on the global distribution of the C-Gap. Brant graduated from the Western Australian School of Mines (WASM) with a BEng (Minerals Engineering) and BSc (Chemistry) in 2004 and has worked in Gold, Base metals and Magnetite operations in Australia, Norway and Russia before returning to Perth to focus on Metallurgical testwork, Toll Treatment and Process Design studies through his consulting arm, JT Metallurgical Services (www.jtmetservices.com.au). Additionally, Brant is a director of Coil Group Pty Ltd which designs, builds, operates and maintains small scale, modular processing plants and Ecotechnol Pty Ltd (www.ecotechnol.com) which focus’ on the use of membranes in process and environmental applications.

Whilst working at all mine sites, Brant consistently observed the reluctance in measuring the CSS in crushers due to the time and personnel required and also that the results were generally considered to be inaccurate. Through the development of the C-Gap, Brant has first hand seen the benefits of measuring the CSS on a more regular basis, sometimes even shift wise. The main production benefit being the ability to maintain a tighter CSS across all shifts hence reduce downstream fluctuations and produce a finer product size whilst maintaining OEM specifications.

As the acceptance of the C-Gap grew, Mintap secured Agents firstly in South America then Africa to focus on these continents before venturing into North America in April 2020.

The C-Gap provides a safe and environmentally friendly alternative for measuring the Closed Side Setting (CSS) in Cone, Jaw, and Gyratory Crushers.

Accurate to within 1mm and able to measure CSS’s between 6mm and 250mm, the C-Gap enables Operators and Maintenance Staff to measure the CSS for most sized crusher installations in minutes with a simple and robust hand held solution.

Operations are managed via the lightweight, handheld console. The battery-powered device is both splashproof and dustproof for continued use at mine sites and can be calibrated using lead weights or manual measurement for optimum accuracy.

The C-Gap effectively replaces the need to use lead weights on a continual basis or any other rudimentary methods such as aluminium foil balls, clay, 44 gal drums or used oil filters.

Operators and maintenance personnel stand in a safe position above the entry to the crusher passing the bulb down through the crusher chute to the nip point for the measurement. There is no longer the need to send personnel under the crusher to manually measure the CSS.

C-Gap reduces the need to use lead weights when processing ore, and is so simple that it only requires one worker to operate it.

Designed and manufactured in Germany in collaboration with Mintap, the C-Gap has been embraced by leading mining and quarrying operationsthroughout the world, including USA, Canada, Chile, Zambia, The Philippines, Norway, Russia and Australia

C-Gap is certified according to AS/NZS CISPR 22: 2009.

Mintap delivers innovative technologies that improve operations in the mining and quarrying industries.
