TOMRA Mining
Materials handling
No small matter
TOMRA Mining has developed a new ejection module for its COM Tertiary XRT Fines sorter, specifi cally developed for sorting small particle sizes. Along with its recently introduced image processing unit, the new TS100C module enables the sorter to sort particle sizes down to 4mm in high-capacity applications with much higher energy effi ciency, delivering up to a 70% reduction in energy use. Nicholas Kenny speaks with Ines Hartwig, director product management, TOMRA Mining, to learn more.
ince the beginnings of mining some 40,000 odd years ago, there has been a need to separate the valuable minerals and metals from the waste – to sort the wheat from the chaff, as it were. Today, we use ore-sorting technologies to identify and remove waste and below-grade ore to preconcentrate the process plant feed, ensuring only economic ore is processed, reducing costs and improving efficiency. However, as with any technology, ore sorting is a process that is undergoing continual refinement, as

mining operators look to optimise their processes and boost their bottom line. For the companies responsible for developing and selling ore-sorting solutions, their systems can always be that much faster, the particles they process can always be that much finer and their operational costs can always be that much lower. One such company has developed a new ejection module for one of its leading ore sorters, specifically designed for sorting small particle sizes.
