Why it matters
Chrome Spiral
into Recovery
As the global leader in chrome production, South Africa faces the pressing challenge of unstable reliability in its fines processing operations. The industry demands robust equipment capable of enduring the abrasive nature of chrome extraction. Our advanced spirals excel in durability, efficiency, and reliability, outperforming competitors while maximising production in a smaller space. Embrace the future of chrome mining with our promise of enhanced longevity and profitability.
The Challenge
Tough on
Rough
Chrome mining faces unique challenges, especially with spirals critical to the benefaction 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.
Our Solution
MT Spirals
Our advanced spirals are engineered to provide consistent and reliable performance in chrome mining operations. Unlike traditional solutions that may falter under the abrasive conditions of chrome extraction, our spirals excel, offering unparalleled durability and efficiency. With our spirals, mining operators can trust in a reliable solution that minimises downtime and maximises productivity.
With over 40 spiral variations, speak to us about which spiral works for you, and kicking things off with testwork in our own mineral lab.
Both our Australian and South African facilities are ISO 9001 certified.
The Advantages
Less is more
Mineral Technologies is a well-established company with expertise in inhouse Mets services (laboratory and ore analysis). Our testing services will provide you with accurate and reliable information about the composition and properties of your minerals and how you get them best.
Every orebody is different. By analyzing your ore samples, we can apply the most effective spirals and other proven MT separation technologies. Benefit from MT experts support you with guidance on how to optimise the performance of your plant.
Prevent downtime, reduce maintenance needs, and minimise repairs. In operation reduce waste, increase yields, and lower operating costs. Testing your ore samples with Mineral Technologies can help you avoid costly mistakes by identifying potential issues with your current spiral separator setup.
