Leaching tanks & atmospheric tanks

As rich ore deposits are diminishing and demand for raw materials continues to grow, the processing of low-grade ores is becoming increasingly important. An unbroken development here is the expansion of production units in order to be able to process the increasing throughputs more economically. The large agitators required for this must be very robust and reliable in order to ensure plant availability even over several years in rough everyday operation. The mixing tasks range from demanding suspension tasks with high solids loads to the homogenization of pasty suspensions with non-Newtonian flow properties. Typical applications are:

• Leaching tanks, e.g. gold-bearing ores (CIL, CIP) and non-ferrous metal ores (zinc)
• Homogenization of non-Newtonian suspensions with high solids content, e.g. in storage tanks for autoclaves as well as storage and intermediate tanks for slurry pipelines
• Mixing and conditioning tanks, e.g. CCD intermediate tanks, mashing of filter cakes
• Storage and buffer tanks to compensate for production fluctuations

What are the advantages of our agitators and mixers for atmospheric mining tanks?

Our agitators and mixers are specially designed for the extreme requirements of mining. Our mechanically robust agitators and mixers are precisely designed for the various operating conditions required. Whether operating in various critical filling levels with significantly increased forces on the agitator, high solids concentrations and different particle sizes, we always design our agitators with sufficient safety.

Our experts offer comprehensive advice and conceptual design to optimize the operating mode with regard to fluctuating dynamic forces, energy efficiency and challenging suspension tasks. This guarantees trouble-free and efficient operation of your system.

The flow-optimized impellers ensure efficient mixing and thus ensure a process flow and prevent deposits in the tank.

Our impellers are available with various coatings (such as rubber coatings, wear-resistant silicon carbide materials…), are extremely resistant to wear and corrosion, which extends product service life and significantly reduces maintenance intervals. This means you benefit from lower operating costs and higher system availability. If our customers have extreme abrasion problems, our industrial ceramic impellers are the proven solution!
