Process Flow

STEP 01

Feed Preparation

Vibrating grizzly, jaw crusher, belt conveyor — size ROM ore to <25mm

STEP 02

Desliming

Hydrocyclone battery removes -75μm fines from the feed stream

STEP 03

Spiral Separation

Humphreys spiral concentrators (rougher + cleaner) separate chromite by density

STEP 04

Product Dewatering

Dewatering screen reduces product moisture to <12% for transport

STEP 05

Tailings Management

Tailings thickener and pump system for responsible tailings storage

STEP 06

Water Recycling

Closed-circuit water system — thickener overflow recycled to process

Feed Size: <25mm
Hardstand Area: 100m × 100m
Product Moisture: <12%
