The COM XRT 300/FR can also add value to existing kimberlitic and alluvial operations that use conventional bulk-concentration methods like rotary pans, dense medium separation or X-ray luminescence, if installed in a final recovery and/or sort house function after these existing processes. With a contained capital expense, operations can benefit from a quick, simple and significant revenue gain.
The final recovery sorter uses the Duoline X-ray transmission technology to ensure a thickness independent, flexible, stable and reliable sorting performance in the mineral processing environment.
Corné de Jager, diamond segment manager at Tomra Mining, said the COM XRT 300/FR sorter completes Tomra’s unique partnered diamond recovery ecosystem, which covers the entire process. “We are now able to offer our customers a full XRT solution to sort +2 to 100 mm particles: +4-100 mm particles with our bulk concentration sorters, and +2 to 32 mm particles with the COM XRT 300/FR in its final recovery, sort house or small-capacity exploration applications,” de Jager said.
“The sorter offers higher efficiency, better grade, simplified security requirements with fewer sorting stages and a smaller footprint. It reduces complexity and operational costs, and unlocks the potential for previously deemed non-profitable projects and marginal deposits to be economically viable.”
The Tomra team will showcase the COM XRT 300/FR sorter at the upcoming Electra Mining 2022 exhibition in Johannesburg, South Africa. For the first time, live demonstrations of the COM XRT 300/FR will be performed at the event, which runs from Sept. 5-9.
