In this project, carried out at the production site of one of the world’s leading gold mining companies, our high-performance decanter centrifuge technology was selected for some of the most critical metallurgical stages of gold recovery.The primary objective was to ensure uninterrupted ore beneficiation and mining sludge dewatering under highly abrasive conditions and demanding process requirements, while maximizing solid-liquid separation efficiency to improve overall process performance.
Technical Specifications and Heavy-Duty Engineering
Mining and extractive metallurgy processes involve demanding operating conditions, including high-density slurries, hard mineral particles with sharp edges, and corrosive chemical environments. These conditions can rapidly wear down standard industrial equipment.
Specialized Armoring and Materials Technology: To withstand the high mechanical loads and friction caused by abrasive particles, wear-resistant hard-metal coatings, such as tungsten carbide, and specially designed wear plates are used to protect the bowl, scroll conveyor, and solids discharge points.
High-Density Slurry Handling: During the beneficiation stages preceding gold recovery, heavy slurries with high specific gravity and solids content are processed continuously using our high-torque drive systems, ensuring reliable operation with minimal downtime.
Key Deliverables and Added Value
24/7 Uninterrupted Performance in Harsh Operating Conditions: In the demanding mining industry, where downtime is not an option, unplanned stoppages caused by wear and maintenance costs have been minimized.
Process Optimization and High Efficiency: Precise solid-liquid separation in metallurgical beneficiation lines has improved the recovery of valuable liquid phases and enhanced solid waste management efficiency.
Engineering Excellence to Global Standards: In addition to meeting the stringent requirements of the food and chemical industries, our technological capabilities have been demonstrated in heavy mining, one of the most demanding industrial sectors worldwide, in accordance with international standards.
