From copper concentrates to coal washery refuse, every drop of water and grain of mineral matters to your bottom line. Diamond T’s dewatering systems are engineered to squeeze maximum value from your toughest slurry streams, slash disposal costs, and recover minerals others leave behind, all while keeping you ahead of environmental regulations.
Access high-performance, durable dewatering systems built for the most demanding mining operations. Whether you’re processing copper concentrates, iron ore tailings, or coal preparation plant waste, Diamond T delivers precision-built centrifuge systems on time and on budget.
We supply complete separation packages, including decanter centrifuges, thickeners, cyclones, pumps, and auxiliary systems, with shipping in as fast as 48 hours. Every system is custom-configured for specific ore characteristics, thoroughly tested for optimal performance, and ready to integrate with expert support at every step.
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 proven experience in mineral processing applications, we help mining contractors identify the right equipment to optimize operational efficiency and maintain the right balance between solids handling and liquid management.
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 cuts unnecessary costs.
“Dry stack tailings” is a widely used industry term, but it refers to the storage approach rather than implying the tailings are completely dry. In practice, the goal is mechanically dewatered tailings with low enough moisture content to be stacked and managed without a conventional tailings pond or impoundment dam.
In the right application, Diamond T’s decanter centrifuge systems can help achieve that outcome by producing dewatered tailings suitable for stackable storage while operating continuously and keeping pace with plant production.
Tailings dewatering produces stackable solids from mining-waste slurries, reducing storage requirements and returning water to the process. 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, chemical and gravity-based systems for solid-liquid separation:
While these methods are effective in many applications, decanter centrifuges can offer meaningful advantages. They provide continuous processing, can achieve strong cake dryness and clean water recovery, and are particularly well suited for handling fine particles or materials that are more difficult to separate. They may also offer a smaller footprint, greater mobility, lower manpower requirements, and more flexibility in managing variable feed conditions.
Even so, centrifuges are often overlooked because of long-standing perceptions about complexity, cost, and performance. In many cases, those concerns stem from past experiences with lower-quality equipment, improper operation, or applications that were simply not well suited to centrifuge technology.
Our mining solutions center around Alfa Laval decanter centrifuges, supported by complete process systems:
