Decommission tailings ponds and reclaim water 

with a local partner for thickening and filtration solutions

With sampling to the right solution for dry stacking 

Customized filter presses for all types of tailings

Dewatered tailings significantly reduce moisture content and create stackable bulk material while simultaneously recovering water for re-use in mining processes.

The right technology is key…. 

We offer an automated thickening and dewatering solution with filter presses at the heart of the process.  

High-throughput, durability and robustness make the filter press the most common choice for dewatering   

  • Iron ore tailings 

  • Gold tailings 

  • Copper tailings and other mine slurries 

 
We have optimized the interaction of our thickeners and filter presses, to ease operation and reduce consumables to a minimum (e.g. by using the same control system for the whole line or keeping polymer residues leftover from the thickener stage active in the filter press).

…together with a local partner! 

 Testing on your site or in the probably best laboratory for tailings in Brazil? Thanks to our local presence, we can get you started right away: 

  • We will visit you with our mobile lab machine on site 

  • Or get your sample tested in Pomerode

  • A professional analysis of sludge and particle size distribution is done on the spot 

The result? We can pinpoint the optimal dewatering tool, but also predict its performance level and optimize the equipment. With our vast experiences, we can find the right number and size of filter presses for your performance target.

Get your sample tested and let’s start sizing

SIZE DOES MATTER:

Our filter presses “made in Brazil” with up to 60,000l filter volume can handle production capacities up to 10,000 tons /day.

From new equipment and systems to upgrades of existing processes, our process audits can help you identify the best opportunities for enhancing productivity, safety, and capacity for practically any tailings. 

With cleverly combining thickening, dewatering and automation we ensure, that you waste no consumables like polymer.

We guarantee you: You are not just buying a filter press - you gain a long-term partner to master your slurry challenge together
