At Mineral Technologies, we thrive on innovation. We deliver novel developments in mineral processing technology and bespoke design solutions that help you extract maximum value from your projects.

Our solutions

What started as an aspirational conversation with a key customer, allowed us the opportunity to turn an idea into an executable mobile mining solution. Our team has since delivered a range of MMUs, each a bespoke solution, suited to different mining conditions with specific challenges to overcome.

The MMU is ideal for sites where traditional dredging is not an option, or not cost-effective. The technology delivers improvements in availability, orebody yields, throughput and overall mineral recovery.

Prioritises the safety of your teams
Allows access to challenging ore bodies
Retrieve run of mine directly from the ground
Ease of operation
Genuinely mobile
Reduced downtime
Avoid environmentally sensitive areas
Generates less noise & dust than traditional truck & shovel
Lower OPEX – save up to 30%

The MMU is fully customisable to suit your specific requirements. Options include –

500 – 1000tph nominal feed operation
Controlled remotely via tablet device eliminating the need for on-board personnel
Feed hopper design options from above via excavator or front-end loader
Shredder unit option to crush and shred ROM ore to a suitable size for pumping with electric/hydraulic drive
Slurry pump for delivery of slurried ore to downstream processes
Hopper water option for slurrying of ore, increasing fines throughput and extending shredder blade life
On-board air compressor for valve operation and tool air as required
Trackset with drive motors and an electric hydraulic power pack
Transformer and drive cabinets
Full service warranty
Training & support service plan

The MMU offers significantly lower operating costs compared to conventional dry mining methods.

It is well suited to challenging orebodies and narrow strandline deposits with high
advance rates.

The MMU can also perform in sand environments that include organics such as tree roots, light clay and soft or friable rock.
