A new MD-12 deslimer has been installed in the filtration section of the ore beneficiation plant of Central Iron Ore. Investments in upgrading the ore beneficiation plant equipment amounted to more than UAH 11 mln.In iron ore beneficiation, deslimers are used to separate hollow non-magnetic particles from the primary intermediate product. Practical experience in the technological process demonstrates that this equipment is highly effective for thickening iron concentrates prior to filtration. Central Iron Ore's beneficiation plant utilizes three types of deslimers at various stages of grinding and beneficiation: MD-5, MD-10 and MD-12, a total of 28 units.In particular, the filtration section uses five of the largest MD-12 deslimers. Due to the unsatisfactory technical condition of the steel structures of equipment No. 11, it was decided to replace it. The work was carried out as part of the 2024 investment programme.
