Context

The processing plant is the economic heart of a mine: where ore becomes concentrate or metal. Circuits run 24/7 and any stop means lost revenue. Consumables — liners, grinding media, reagents, filter cloths — are 60–70% of operating costs and determine recovery. MINEFECT helps you optimise each parameter with quality supplies and field expertise.

Key challenges

01

Mill liner & grinding-media wear

A poor alloy choice can reduce plant throughput by 10–20%.

02

Flotation reagent performance

Poorly dosed reagents can drop recovery by 5–15 points.

03

Filtration circuit availability

Cloth blinding in production creates downstream bottlenecks.

Our solutions

  • SAG & ball mill liners

    Chrome alloy, rubber and composite liners for ore type and target grind.

  • Forged steel grinding balls

    High hardness (60+ HRC) and uniform roundness.

  • Flotation reagents

    Collectors, frothers and pH modifiers for sulphide, oxide and mixed circuits.

  • Filter cloths & membranes

    For concentrate and tailings dewatering.

  • Leaching consumables

    Lime, cyanide (ICMC compliance), activated carbon for CIL/CIP/Heap Leach.
