Thickeners are designed to separate processed solids for recirculation and reprocessing, or for distribution to tailings. In the thickener unit, valuable water is extracted from the slurry to reuse in other parts of the mining operation. The remaining solids material becomes concentrated for more efficient transfer to the tailings storage facility (TSF).
The following products are capable of providing zero leakage shutoff through high solids content slurry. These valves are engineered to excel in abrasive media for long lasting operation.
Many manufacturing processes have challenging fluids flowing through their pipes and vessels. Mining and minerals have some of the most challenging with abrasive and corrosive solids in the flowing fluids. In a Valve magazine article, Challenges of Medium Density Slurry Service in Mining and Mineral Processing, Emerson’s Mike Gordon describes innovations in knife gate valve …

Hier erfahren Sie mehrOne of the challenges of commodity producers in general and mining companies in particular is that they have very little control over demand and pricing for their products. Individual producers benefit or suffer through up and down cycles, and find they really only have control over their own internal variables. These days, specialty metals and …
