Frequently Asked Questions
Q:
What types of ores can StarUSA’s mineral processing plants handle?!
StarUSA designs plants for a wide range of ores including iron ore, copper, lithium, gold, silver, zinc, lead, nickel, and industrial minerals (phosphate, potash, silica). Each plant is custom-engineered based on your ore’s specific gravity, hardness, liberation size, and mineralogy. We conduct bench-scale and pilot testing to optimize recovery, throughput, and energy efficiency before final design.
Q:
How do you guarantee performance and quality for a processing plant?!
We provide measurable performance guarantees including recovery rates (up to 95%+ for many ores), throughput capacity (from 50 to 10,000+ TPD), and uptime (>92%). All equipment is fabricated under ISO 9001, ASTM/ASME codes, and MSHA standards. We also integrate SCADA/PLC automation for real-time monitoring, and we offer commissioning, training, and after-sales support to ensure long-term reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q:
What is the typical lead time for custom mining machinery!
Standard machinery (crushers, screens, pumps) can be delivered within 12–16 weeks from order. Custom-engineered equipment (e.g., SAG mills, large hydrocyclone clusters) may require 20–28 weeks depending on complexity and material availability. Since StarUSA currently sources globally while building our U.S. factory, we can expedite certain orders. Contact us for current lead times on your specific equipment.
Q:
Do you provide spare parts and on-site maintenance!
Yes. We maintain a critical spare parts inventory for all major equipment types – including wear liners, bearings, screens, pump impellers, and gearboxes. We also offer on-site installation, commissioning, and preventive maintenance contracts. Remote diagnostics via IoT-enabled monitoring (optional) help predict failures before they cause downtime.
Stainless Steel Composite Plates for Special Applications
StarUSA supplies high-performance stainless steel composite plates (clad plates) that bond a corrosion-resistant stainless steel layer to a structural steel backing. This combination delivers the strength of carbon steel with the corrosion resistance of stainless steel – at a fraction of the cost of solid stainless.
Quality Advantages
100% metallurgical bond – No voids or delamination.
Ultrasonic testing – 100% inspection per ASTM A578.
Custom cladding ratio – Tailored to your corrosion and strength requirements.
Formable and weldable – Can be rolled, bent, and welded like monolithic steel.
Cost-effective – Up to 40% less than solid stainless steel.
Why Use Composite Plates?
Extends equipment life in corrosive and abrasive environments.
Reduces material cost while maintaining performance.
Lighter than solid stainless for equivalent strength (depending on design).
Readily available for quick delivery (import today; future US production).
Quality Certifications
ASTM A263 (stainless-clad steel plate)
ASTM A264 (chromium-nickel-clad plate)
ASME Section VIII, Div. 1 – for pressure vessel applications
NACE MR0175 – for sour service (optional)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q:
What is the advantage of using composite plates over solid stainless steel!
Composite plates (clad plates) bond a thin stainless steel layer (1.5–10 mm) to a carbon steel base. This gives you the corrosion resistance of stainless at the strength and cost of carbon steel – saving up to 40% compared to solid stainless. They are ideal for marine, pressure vessel, and abrasive slurry applications where corrosion and wear are concerns.
Q:
Are StarUSA’s composite plates certified for pressure vessel and marine use!
es. Our clad plates meet ASTM A263/A264, ASME Section VIII Div. 1, and NACE MR0175 (optional). Each plate undergoes 100% ultrasonic testing per ASTM A578 to ensure a metallurgical bond with no delamination. For marine applications, we can provide additional classification society certifications (ABS, DNV, LR) upon request.
