Advanced Process Control
With volatile commodity prices, rising energy costs, and declining ore grades, mining and mineral processing companies are more than ever being forced to seek solutions to improve efficiency and sustainability in the production process.
Modern sensor technology and deep knowledge of materials chemistry on the conveyor belt help producers maximize mineral recovery and extract additional value from the lowest-grade ore, which wasn’t possible before. With prompt ore sorting and proper dosing of mix components, producers can reduce energy, water, and flotation reagent consumption. Stable, targeted product quality can be achieved through prompt blending control and rejection of off-grade materials.
Lyncis Cross-belt and SlurryView Elemental Analyzers combine industrial installation experience with advanced analytics to enable timely, accurate decision-making at every stage of the process.
