The introduction of a new technologically advanced ore sorter is critical and strategic project for Idwala Carbonates. The new sorter will ensure that they can protect the core, enable growth, improve efficiencies and gain greater competitive advantage.
An ore sorter is an important facet of the mining industry. Typically, high-performance ore sorters work by scanning passing
material via a belt or chute feeding system and identifying mineral properties with a scanner.
Material that passes one or more selection criteria is identified and separated into chambers via a precise burst of air.
The new sensor-based ore particle sorting offers a powerful method for pre-concentration or waste rejection early in the comminution
(the crushing and grinding of the ore to reduce it to finer particles) process. The technology analyses each rock particle on-line
for unique physical and chemical properties and separates the particles by high jet pressure air jets.
The technology has the ability to reduce impurities by up to 84% and improve Calcium grade by up to 30%.
