A leading European mining company
operating in the DRC has awarded Roytec a
contract for the supply of 4 x 145 m
2
Roytec
TXSY vacuum belt filters. This contract
follows an earlier success where Roytec
was awarded a contract for the supply of
2 x 145 m
2
vacuum belt filters for a new
phosphate mine in the Western Cape.
The DRC contract is for copper recovery
after tank leaching and employs a 3-stage
counter-current cake washing system for
optimum efficiency. The filters are being
constructed in a combination of 316 stain-
less steel and mild steel sections and were
ready for shop trial assembly eight weeks
after contract signature.
Roytec carried out site testwork and
completed the process specification in con-
junction with the client’s engineers, and a
unique dual feed system allowing for a pre-
coat of coarse material before the addition
of flocculated fines has been specified.
The filters will be manufactured by
Roytec’s partner, Nuclear Industries Yantai
