Minerals & mining separation
Separation and abrasion must be evaluated together. Define the required recoveries and liquid quality while planning wear protection, inspection access and replaceable components.
Define the duty before the model.
- Mineralogy and hardness
- Particle-size and concentration range
- Corrosion and temperature conditions
- Wear strategy and maintenance access

The engineering conversation
Wear can occur at feed acceleration zones, scroll surfaces, screens and discharge areas, depending on the design. Corrosion and abrasion can occur together, so choosing a material on corrosion resistance alone may be insufficient. Wear protection also affects inspection, replacement access and spare-part planning. The dry-solids load and its variation are essential for assessing both process and mechanical duty.
Ask for a component-level wear strategy and a spare-parts proposal alongside the separation result. Compare LW, LLW or a combined family only where its mechanism matches the material. Include the cost and downtime of maintaining the wear-protected parts in the lifecycle assessment.
