  The Challenge

Tough onRough

Chrome mining faces unique challenges, especially with spirals critical to the beneficiation process. The high density of chromite ore complicates separation, causing inefficiencies and yield losses. Fine particles worsen these issues, leading to clogging and reduced spiral effectiveness. Variations in ore composition and quality require constant adaptation of processing techniques. Innovative technologies and continuous optimisation are needed to improve separation efficiency and maximise recovery rates in chrome mining.
