- Zero TRIFR
- Customised leasing solution to meet market needs
Smart engineering
Mineral Technologies worked with local RSA fabricators to successfully design, construct and commission a new wet high intensity magnetic separation (WHIMS) plant for Samancor.
The new plant was installed, commissioned and tested within a 4 week time-frame.
Incorporating Mineral Technologies WHIMS equipment, the plant was delivered to Samancor as part of a commercial leasing scheme which enables Samancor to pay progressively over pre-agreed time-frames. This new plant joins three existing WHIMS in operation across Samancor’s operations in Africa.
Latest technology
Processing a slightly higher throughput of 65 t/h compared to the other plants which operate at 50 t/h, the new plant successfully passed performance testing.
As an alternative to mining more feed material, the WHIMS plants process existing waste streams from current operations, recovering what the conventional plants leave behind.
Mineral Technologies is an establish provider of re-relocatable, modular plants which incorporate core process technology into new low-cost configurations.
In addition to quick assembly and trouble free start-up, the modular plants provide the added benefits of minimal civil engineering work, easy modular scale-up for increased capacity, and re-relocatable options to move plants from site to site ensuring optimum return on capital expenditure.
