Copper Concentrate Filtration & Slurry Transfer Plant
Hindustan Copper required an upgrade to their concentrate filtration plant to handle increased mill capacity and reduce transport moisture prior to smelter feed.
Metzix delivered a modern automatic recessed chamber filter press package equipped with diaphragm squeeze technology, cloth high-pressure washing manifolds, and high-pressure slurry feeding pumps.
The filtered copper concentrate achieved a residual moisture level of 8.5%, completely eliminating transport cake liquification risks during transit to the smelting facility.
The Engineering Challenge
Abrasive high-specific-gravity copper sulfide slurry prone to rapid settling and valve seat wear under high filtration pressure.
The Metzix Solution
Diaphragm squeeze chamber plates operating at 16 bar with hard-faced slurry pumps and heavy-duty pinch valves.
Key Results & Performance Metrics:
- Concentrate cake moisture lowered to 8.5%, ideal for flash smelting feed
- Total filter cycle time compressed to 18 minutes
- Zero transport spillages or liquification during logistics
- Turnkey civil, mechanical, and electrical commissioning delivered on budget
