Multotec has a partnership with Clean TeQ Water, an Australian company, through which it has introduced continuous counter-current ion exchange technology into the African market for solid/liquid separation, process water treatment and metal recovery. Continuous Ionic Filtration (CIF®) can achieve water recoveries of up to 95% and higher in various applications such as mining, industrial processes and municipal water treatment.
Clean-iX® for solid/liquid separation is built on the foundations of continuous ion exchange technology. The Clean-iX® for metal recovery processes uses the principles of continuous counter-current ion exchange, providing you with highly efficient and cost-effective extraction, concentration, and solid/liquid separation processes. Clean-iX® is tailored for recovering gold, uranium, rare earth, base metals, and more
Multotec’s filter press machines have the capacity to increase equipment efficiency by up to 30% using linked plate electrically driven open/close mechanisms with automated cake discharge when compared to conventional hydraulic presses. Designed for chemical and mineral processing, as well as coal or water treatment plants, these filter press machines:
Part of Multotec’s Micronics filter press range, the vacuum membrane press from Multotec incorporates the vacuum pulse (VP) drying filter press. This unique press produces filter cakes with higher solids content than a typical vacuum membrane press filter. It achieves the correct levels of moisture faster and is highly effective for drying filter cake economically. These filter presses for solid/liquid separation provide optimum cake discharge and dewatered cake. They:
Multotec’s sludge filter press systems are efficient sludge separators that reduce waste while effectively reclaiming discharged minerals. This dewatering equipment effectively and efficiently isolates solids and liquids in fully automated, energy-efficient press separation cycles.
Manufactured according to ISO 9001 standards, this sludge dewatering equipment has robust designs and facilitates equipment longevity. These filter presses:
A range of filter press accessories to extend the versatility of your filter press system is available. These accessories ensure you achieve higher levels of performance in a wider range of mineral processing applications.
A range of lightweight to heavy-duty filter cloths that optimise your filter press operations in the cloth washing system is available.
Either woven or felted according to your requirements, filter cloths are available in a full range of synthetic and natural fibres. Multotec’s solid/liquid separation experts can aid with your filter cloth selection.
Filter cloths for solid/liquid separation from Multotec are:
Multotec’s industrial centrifugal decanters enable fast and accurate centrifugation in mineral processing, operating on the counter-flow principle. Suspension is introduced to the centre of the bowl for separation and sediment is then conveyed via the scroll, which continuously rotates at an altered speed to that of the bowl. This results in clarified liquid flowing from the bowl’s large diameter opening.
The centrifugal decanter range includes the TS Industrial Decanter Centrifuge, DZ Industrial Decanter Centrifuge and DZS Screen Decanter Centrifuge. All of these centrifuges:
Solid liquid separation equipment from Multotec comprises an extensive range from world-leading brands like Seprotech, Micronics and Siebtechnik.
Multotec can increase the rate of separation and reduce overall waste with its range of solid/liquid separation equipment and complete solutions.
Our turnkey solid/liquid separation solutions, manufactured to ISO 9001 standards, include design, manufacture, supply, installation and maintenance. In addition, our team of skilled engineers understands the value of seamless process flow sheets.
This means that when you order your solid-liquid separation equipment from Multotec, you get a partnership committed to seamlessly integrating your equipment into new and existing applications, with maintenance agreements aimed at lowering your overall cost per ton.
Multotec has designed a range of filter press systems that effectively and efficiently isolate solids and liquids in fully automated, energy-efficient press-separation cycles. They can reduce processing times by up to 10 minutes per cycle and increase cake dryness, reduce component stress and operating costs, improve safety, and they have an internal automated cleaning process, which reduces unnecessary downtime.
The Siebtechnik industrial centrifuges and decanters are economical and efficient compact systems for dewatering large quantities of solids to a low final moisture in quick cycle times. Multotec has provided this range to the international mineral, chemical and industrial processing market for over 50 years.
Clean-iX® for Metal Recovery is built on the foundations, and uses the principles, of continuous ion exchange technology, making it ideal for use in South Africa’s mining and mineral processing industries. The process provides highly efficient and cost-effective extraction, concentration and separation processes.
CIF® is a continuous counter-current ion exchange technology for process water treatment and metal recovery, continuously removing dissolved salts (TDS) and solids (TSS) from process water. The process can achieve water recoveries of up to 95% and higher in various applications such as mining, industrial and municipal process water treatment.
With more than 50 years’ experience in the mineral processing industry, Multotec manufactures world-leading dewatering solutions with high-quality materials of construction that help produce a low moisture content. Its team of skilled engineers includes experts in process flow sheets who have the expertise to supply solid/liquid separation solutions tailored to lower your overall cost per ton.
Methods to separate solids from liquids include sedimentation (solids settle by gravity); and mechanical separation. Gravity and mechanical separation are the two most common techniques used. Multotec manufactures and installs a range of products and solutions for solid-liquid separation. These include, but are not limited to, Filter Press; Industrial Centrifuges; Clean-iX® for Metals Recovery; and CIF® for Process Water Treatment.
