innovation is bringing a variety of benefits to industrial operations . ANDRITZ has combined the power of smart sensors , big data analytics and virtual and augmented reality to create Metris , a portfolio of digital industrial solutions . Within this portfolio , Metris addIQ control systems offer cutting-edge machine and process control for solid / liquid separation equipment and systems . To ensure safe , trouble-free operations , our automation solutions range from upgrades to individual systems , including electrics , control equipment and instrumentation , to full automation of entire plants . For greenfield plants , we design and test using dynamic simulations in order to ensure error-free start-up . For upgrades and
The right separation solution for your requirements
ANDRITZ ’ s current portfolio covers the full process from sedimentation and dewatering to drying , and ensures excellent throughput of high-quality products ; all with low operating costs and high reliability .
From decanter centrifuges for potash to pusher centrifuges for dewatering lithium carbonate , heavy-duty belt presses or hyperbaric disc filters for coal to closed cycle contact dryers for base metals – we ’ ve got you covered . For the efficient and responsible treatment of tailings , you can choose between screen bowl decanters , thickeners and filter presses , the latter a flagship for the use of IIoT : The intelligent filter press . It keeps you at the forefront of Industry 4.0 and ready for the future ! To further optimise efficiency and maximise profit , you can take advantage of clever automation solutions like Metris Digital Twins ( powered by IDEAS ). Or the Metris Performance Center , a digital service and support platform for the optimisation of production processes , operator troubleshooting and decision support .
Efficient tailings treatment with a smaller footprint
Tailings treatment continues to be one of the fastest growing challenges in the mining sector . At the same time , environmental risks , space constraints , and water scarcity all need to be managed cost-effectively . Our complete range of individual technologies and turnkey solutions can be tailored to help you achieve your goals at the optimal OPEX or CAPEX for your specific operations . Higher dryness with lower energy consumption ? Or , high specific throughput with the smallest equipment footprint ? When it comes to finding the right tailings treatment solution , everything starts with your requirements . Based on the conditions at your site , we can recommend and fine-tune a solution that gives you the highest possible process efficiency .
