Crushing
Crushing is defined as the mechanical action of splitting particles of a certain size into smaller elements. Mineraux Mart Inc. has complete crushing systems to produce a wide range of particle sizes between 100 mm and 0.2 mm. More than 50,000 MT of alloys and minerals are crushed annually at Minéraux Mart inc. Our experience in the field allows us to achieve the desired ratios as closely as possible.
Type of crusher :
- Primary crushers
- Secondary crushers
- Tertiary crushers.
We use crushers as needed.
Mixing and agglomeration
Mixing
We have several types of mixers to meet the customers’ needs.
Mixers are used in powder metallurgy, the homogenization of various products or to recycle certain non-standard products.
Types of mixers
We have several types of mixers.
Agglomeration
Agglomeration is a compacting action under pressure. We aggregate products in all forms. The shape, weight and chemistry of the product are determined according to the specific needs of our customers. Our agglomeration techniques are done without the use of concrete.
Our agglomeration equipment :
- Hydraulic presses (3-50 lb. brick), square, oval, with dent markings or handles
- Briquetter: BBQ sized or almond sized briquettes available
- Extruder
- Pucker
Sieving/Screening
Sieving consists of dimensional classification of grains, materials, of various shapes and sizes, by placing these grains on perforated surfaces, allowing grains of smaller sizes than the dimensions of the perforations to pass, while grains of larger dimensions are retained and evacuated separately. This makes it possible to obtain very specific ranges of particle sizes. This operation is often preceded by a crushing process. Mineraux Mart Inc uses different sieving equipment ranging from 100mm to 400mesh.
Drying
Drying is a process that separates a liquid from a solid, a semi-solid, or even a liquid by evaporation. This operation is endothermic and therefore requires the input of energy. Mineraux Mart Inc dries approximately 12,000 MT per year. The humidity of the material, which initially is between 2-20%, creates fluidity and flow problems when used in industrial processes. The drying process is done by eliminating the water from the treated bodies by using heat to transform the water into steam. Minéraux Mart Inc uses a rotary dryer with direct or indirect flame for the drying process, which makes it possible to reduce the humidity percentage to less than 0.1%.
Type of dryer :
- Tunnel kiln (temperature up to 1745 Celsius)
- Rotary dryer, direct or indirect flame
- Hot air oven
- Calcinator (temperature up to 1200 Celsius)
