Our customer , located in Brazil has the capacity to process 35 thousand tons of copper concentrate per year.

A MoistScan® MA‐500HD online microwave moisture analyser has been installed on the conveyor belt that takes the material to the number one drier.

The customer, a major producer of ferronickel, operates four nickel mines and one smelter in New Caledonia.

MoistScan® MA‐500 online microwave moisture anlaysers are integrated with a bank of rotary drying kilns. Installed on the feed conveyors to each kiln the MA‐500’s determine the moisture variation in the raw ore.

The customer is a major nickel operation in Indonesia. The nickel operation processes the ore into a nickel matte product. The ore is dried in one of three rotary dryers before being passed through to the kilns.

The customer is a major nickel ore producer and refiner in Northern America. Ore from a range of mines is sent to one of a number of mills where it is ground to a fine powder and passed through a froth floatation circuit to produce a wet nickel concentrate. The concentrate is then piped from the various mills to the centralised smelter complex. The nickel concentrate is dewatered and filtered using batteries of rotary disc filters to produce a fine concentrate with moisture between 8% and 10% moisture. This concentrate is then balled and roasted to produce an enriched nickel matte. The nickel matte is then sent to the refinery to produce a high‐purity nickel product.
