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

Recovery of tin bearing minerals from hard rock deposits involves multiple processing stages. Mineral Technologies can aid the processing of historical tin tailings by designing a suitable gravity circuit comprising spirals and wet shaking tables that will recover tin minerals down to approx. 38 microns.

Pictured below is a pilot plant, designed and built by Mineral Technologies, incorporating the FM1 spiral separator in a 3-stage circuit.

Simplified process circuit
Improved overall recoveries
Reduced circulating loads
Smaller cassiterite flotation circuit
Higher grade concentrate
Lower processing costs
Reduced water consumption
Minimum slimes generation
Smaller plant footprint

FM1 spiral separators – provides effective recovery of valuable heavy mineral particles in the range of 0.03-0.15mm. Available in 6.5 or 8.5 turn with options for single, twin or triple starts.

MG spiral separators – the medium grade range are currently the favoured spirals for tin processing operations in South America. The MG12 as both the rougher and scavenger stages (in one spiral) and the MG6.3 for the middling stage.

HG & HC spiral separators – have achieved a wide acceptance among operators due to its relative simplicity and a profile which accepts a broad range of feed conditions with minimum requirement for splitter alteration. The 7 turn option is often deployed for primary and fluctuating grade cleaner applications in the 10 to 40% heavy mineral feed grade range.

FLEXSERIES (Modular Plant Range) – clever modular designs that utilise highly efficient equipment and robust control systems to meet the demand for flexible and adaptable processing solutions.

Holman shaking tables – for recovering and upgrading of liberated fines, and/or selectively rejecting non-valuable minerals
