Mining and Metallurgical Processing
Filters used in mining and metallurgical processing generally are engineered with design characteristics specific to application in this industry. Compositech manufactures disc filters, drum filter and horizontal belt filters that are used extensively in mining and metallurgical processing. Our rotary vacuum disc filters are used by several customers for ore processing.
Compositech's focus in providing disc filters for this application is to provide equipment which is high quality, with a low maintenance demand, and with an efficient use of energy. Our drum filters, which have been engineered to meet application demands for mining and metallurgy processing, are available with several discharge options. The most appropriate drum filter discharge is determined by the specific application for each customer. Compositech is a leading manufacturer of horizontal belt filters with several of our filters currently in operation in high tonnage, heavy industries including mining and metallurgy. Our horizontal belt filter accomplishes multi-step processing in a single filtration unit and we provide a wide range of material and design options to tailor the filter for different applications.
In addition to manufacturing our own design of disc filters, drum filters, and horizontal belt filters, Compositech also provides replacement parts and performance upgrades for the mining industry aimed at existing installations of disc, drum and horizontal belt filters. Our goal in manufacturing filter replacement parts is to offer upgrades to throughput and reliability. Our parts meet vigorous standards for quality and durability and are designed to offer increased filter performance and lower maintenance costs. Our components meet or beat the quality of the original equipment used by the filter manufacturer.
