These robust and reliable industrial ovens are intended for a variety of drying operations and are designed for the harsh mineral and mining industry. The 2000L has convenient loading and offloading with a purpose-built push-in trolley.
They are universally used in mining and commercial assay laboratories where the drying of samples prior to preparation is required.
Drying ovens play a crucial role in the mining industry, helping to transform raw minerals into refined products.
Why Drying Matters in Mineral Processing:
o Moisture control: From ore extraction to the final product, controlling moisture content is essential. It reduces shipping costs, streamlines downstream processing, and ensures a higher-quality end product.
o Reduced transportation costs: By removing excess moisture, raw ore becomes lighter, making transportation more economical. After all, nobody wants to pay to ship water weight!
o Preventing buildup: Moisture in raw materials can lead to equipment clogs, corrosion, and abrasion. Imagine gypsum hardening in place due to its cementitious nature—definitely not ideal!
o Improved material handling: Dry minerals flow better through hoppers, conveyors, and other equipment. Handling dusty material is a challenge, but finding the right balance is key.
Commonly Dried Minerals:
o Alumina, barite, basalt, bauxite, chromite, clay, iron ore, limestone, phosphorus, silica, talc, and many more.
