Smart engineering

Mineral Technologies delivered a fully integrated solution to Trimex Sands Pvt Ltd which began with testwork in 2004 and progressed to flowsheet and basic plant design in 2006.

Plant design incorporated wet and dry processing stages.

Mineral Technologies supplied state-of-the-art spiral, magnetic and electrostatic technology from our proprietary range of process equipment; as well as engineered equipment including a large grizzly screen hopper and trommel, and a Lyons Feed Control Unit (LFCU) to manage the storage and discharge of wet solids to meet specific process needs.

Plant construction was undertaken by a local Indian based company. Mineral Technologies provided members of our process engineering team to commission the plants and fine-tune the process for optimum grade and recovery.
