Case Overview
In 2023, Laitex proudly contributed to the success of the project by delivering material handling equipment for the Tailings Filtration Plant and Lead-Zinc Concentrator . This Tailings Filtration Plant demanded precise handling solutions for their tailings – a mix of both lead and zinc materials. Laitex stepped up to the challenge, providing a comprehensive approach to streamline the handling of tailings filter cake.
Laitex delivered equipment tailored to meet the project’s specific requirements:
- Cake Discharger BCV-B. This equipment was instrumental in efficiently managing tailings, ensuring a seamless flow within the Tailings Filtration Plant.
- Transfer Conveyor BCV-D designed to stack material.
Cake discharging and handling
The large volume and demanding conditions of concentrator plants require heavy-duty equipment with low maintenance need. The lead and zinc concentrator operates almost constantly and therefore the project emphasized the high utilization rate of Cake Dischargers and Transfer Conveyor.
The collaboration between Laitex and Client will result in several noteworthy benefits:
- Efficiency: The equipment will enhance overall operational efficiency, optimizing the handling of lead and zinc materials.
- Compliance: The equipment is set to meet and surpass project specifications, showcasing Laitex’s dedication to providing high-quality solutions
