Ore-Max Plant, Fresno
California Ore-Max
is a division of Wade Rain, Inc., one of the leading agricultural
irrigation companies. Wade Rain was founded in 1936 and manufactures
and sells all different types of irrigation equipment. In 1987 Wade
Rain made the first sale of drip systems for use on heap leach mining,
and started the Ore-Max Division. The original installation was at a
gold mine, and then in 1991 the Ore-Max drip products were first applied
on copper, an industry innovation. It has been our policy to
continually improve our products for mining, and to offer a product
technology designed to maximize ore production.
In 2001 Ore-Max developed the revolutionary Max Emitter, which was
issued Patent No. 6,817,548 in 2004. The Max Emitter has proven to be
the outstanding emitter design for use in the mining industry because it
solves the emitter plugging problems, which are so common in mining.
Since it’s inception in 1987 Ore-Max has sold more than 500 million feet
of emitterline to the mining industry, as well as complete heap leach
systems, including lay flat emitterline, connectors, HDPE pipe, pressure
control systems, sprinklers and flow meters. It is the goal of the
company to provide the very best heap leach system which will result in
maximum gold and copper production. Ore-Max systems have been sold to
over 100 mines worldwide.
Ore-Max is manufactured in Fresno, California and the company
headquarters are located in Tualatin, Oregon. Our primary mission is
to help mines to increase their ore production by applying the superior
technology of the Max Emitter and Ore-Max Heap Leach Systems.
