Fine Mineral Separation - MD Spirals, Electrostatic & Magnetic Range
Fine Mineral Separation Technology
Mineral Technologies design and manufacture the world’s leading range of equipment for physical separation processes. As a global technology pillar represented within our hub, they offer unparalleled solutions in gravity, electrostatic, and magnetic systems, optimization circuits, and tailored plant layout configuration.
MD Spirals Portfolio Spectrum
Equipment Range & Feeds Characteristics
Engineered for feed material generally containing up to 25% heavy mineral (reaching up to 40% in specific applications).
Designed for high-grade feed material parameters generally greater than 25% and as high as 90% heavy mineral.
Custom-built and optimized specifically for process feeds carrying very high concentration levels of heavy minerals.
Specialized fine mineral separation circuits fine-tuned for feed material sizing in the strict range of 30 to 150 microns.
Utilises integrated wash water addition mechanisms for enhanced, highly-precise grade control in targeted iron ore configurations.
Super-high capacity spirals specifically layout-designed to enable highly economical footprint allocations and compact processing plants.
Electrostatic Separation Ranges
Carrara Electrostatic Range
Plate & Screen Plate Electrostatic Separators- Supplied with five internal separation stages configured structurally for non-conductor re-treatment circuits.
- Independently adjustable electrode assemblies paired with electro/pneumatic sliding feed gates for absolute feed rate control.
- Highly dustproof enclosures integrated with secure lockable doors to maximize operator field safety.
- Applications: Separation of titaniferous mineral sands, hard rock ilmenite, rutile, cassiterite, tantalite, iron ore, and targeted PVC/plastic waste recycling.
High Tension Roll Separator (HTR)
Advanced Electrostatic Roll Processing- Available in 270mm and 400mm diameter industrial models, supplied in robust two or three roll sequence stages.
