FILTRATION & THICKENING designs to achieve high throughput and consistent dewatering performance in largescale mining operations.
A key cited differentiator of the MAXDri platform is its focus on productivity. In high-capacity tailings applications, every minute of cycle time matters. DELKOR’ s advanced hydraulic architecture enables rapid opening and closing of the plate pack, minimising downtime between filtration cycles and maximising equipment utilisation. Combined with fully automated operation and intelligent process control, the system delivers high availability, reduced operator intervention and dependable performance in demanding dewatering environments. Together with TAKRAF conveying and stacking technologies, MAXDri Filter Presses can form part of an integrated DST solution delivered from a single source.
TAKRAF Group combines process technologies for thickening, including DELKOR High-Rate Thickeners, filtration using DELKOR MAXDri Filter Presses or FP DELKOR Horizontal Vacuum Belt Filters, and TAKRAF conveying and stacking systems. This breadth of expertise enables the Group it says to engineer and supply the complete process chain.
The company states:“ DELKOR MAXDri Filter Presses provide a proven route to higher water recovery, safer tailings handling and more resilient operations. Their integration with upstream thickening and downstream conveying and stacking technologies also underlines the importance of considering the complete DST process when developing future tailings facilities.”
Within DELKOR’ s dewatering portfolio, the Horizontal Belt Filter( HBF) is also a proven technology for continuous filtration, cake washing and dewatering. DELKOR HBFs operate across a broad range of commodities and applications, including iron ore, lead and zinc, copper, gold, phosphates, phosphoric acid and hydrometallurgical processes.
The technology it says combines robust equipment design with application-specific process engineering. Key operational benefits include high availability, efficient cake washing, ease of maintenance and competitive life cycle costs. A large global installation base also provides extensive operating experience across concentrate and tailings duties.
DELKOR has designed, manufactured and commissioned several of the world’ s largest operating HBFs. These include units with filtration areas of up to 162 m ² and belt widths of 4.2 m. Filters of this scale are operating in iron ore concentrate, gold tailings and copper tailings applications, demonstrating the technology’ s ability to provide reliable performance at high throughputs.
