Diamond T is the trusted partner for mining operations that need greater efficiency, improved recovery rates, and stronger environmental compliance. As Alfa Laval’s Master Distributor, we maintain a full fleet of next-generation separation equipment ready for immediate rental or purchase.
With decades of experience supporting mining contractors across mineral processing applications, we help you select the right equipment and strike the perfect balance between dewatering performance, mineral recovery, and operational efficiency.
We offer:
Diamond T supports every phase of mineral processing with proven equipment and deep operational expertise. Our approach maximizes mineral recovery, reduces tailings volumes, and improves water recovery while enhancing efficiency and cutting unnecessary costs.
Tailings dewatering removes water from mining waste slurries to create stackable solids, reduce storage requirements, and enable water reuse. Effective dewatering is essential to minimize environmental impact, reduce operational costs, and comply with increasingly strict regulations around water usage and waste management.
Mining operations rely on various mechanical and gravity-based systems for solid-liquid separation:
While these methods handle basic separation, decanter centrifuges provide superior performance for challenging applications. They deliver continuous, high-throughput processing with exceptional cake dryness and clean water recovery, even with fine particles and materials that are difficult to separate.
Compared to alternatives like belt presses or thickeners, centrifuges offer faster processing, smaller footprints, and greater flexibility in handling varying feed conditions, making them the preferred choice for mining applications.
Our mining solutions center around Alfa Laval decanter centrifuges, supported by complete process systems:
Centrifuge systems offer several advantages for mining dewatering operations:
Absolutely. Every system is configured around your specific ore characteristics: particle size distribution, mineral composition, slurry density, and processing requirements. We optimize centrifuge selection, bowl geometry, and auxiliary equipment to maximize performance for your exact application and site conditions.
Mining operations present unique challenges that require specialized solutions:
