Agitated Vessels for Mining and Minerals Processing
Agitated vessels for mining and minerals processing are heavy-duty mixing systems designed for ore leaching, slurry handling, flotation, and mineral concentration. These vessels provide robust agitation for abrasive slurries while withstanding the demanding conditions of mineral processing operations.
Why are Agitated Vessels Needed for Mining and Minerals Processing?
Mining and minerals processing requires agitated vessels capable of handling highly abrasive slurries while maintaining uniform suspension and adequate residence time. Proper agitation ensures efficient leaching, effective reagent contact, and consistent metallurgical performance throughout the extraction process.

Agitated Vessels for Mining and Minerals Processing FAQs
How do vessels handle abrasive mineral slurries?
Abrasive slurry service uses wear-resistant impellers (Ni-Hard, Stellite, rubber-covered), thick shell construction, replaceable wear linings, and designs minimizing impact and velocity. Maintenance access enables liner replacement. We design for extended service life in the most abrasive applications.
What designs prevent solids settling?
Complete suspension uses adequate power input, proper impeller selection and placement, and tank geometry that eliminates stagnant zones. CFD analysis verifies suspension performance. Bottom configuration and impeller clearance prevent solids accumulation. We guarantee suspension performance for specified conditions.
