A one-stop partner for mining expertise – from simulation to installation and optimisation
For optimising processes and increasing water recovery, efficient solid/liquid separation is a crucial competitive advantage. The ANDRITZ portfolio covers the entire solid/liquid process, ensuring excellent throughput of high-quality products. From simulation and equipment selection to continuous process optimisation, ANDRITZ not only helps you select the right machinery but also keeps operating costs low and reliability high. With ANDRITZ, you are not just adopting technology; you are partnering with a leader dedicated to guiding you through every step of the process.
Simulation: Designing a process and making sure it works – before capital commitment
Envisioning the future of mining operations, our mission is to lead the transformation towards fully autonomous plants, where innovation in automation and digitalisation delivers unparalleled efficiency, safety and sustainability. The most important step of this process is the first: using simulation technology like IDEAS during the process design phase. This technology creates a “virtual process” environment where process designs, modifications and retrofits can be finetuned and verified faster than in real time, well before committing any capital costs. Modelling complex plants that include comminution, high pressure acid leaching, heat recovery circuits, neutralisation, countercurrent decantation (CCD), pressure oxidation, precipitation, filtration, solvent extraction, or electrowinning – the possibilities are seemingly endless.
Installation: The right solution from sedimentation, to dewatering, filtration and drying
Our extensive range of products include thickeners, decanter and pusher centrifuges, belt presses and filter presses, disc filters and various dryers, allowing us to configure a processing line tailored to fit your specific needs. Iron ore, lithium or coal tailings filtration? Machine throughputs from 10 to 100 tonnes per hour? An ideally synchronised thickening and dewatering solution from a single source? This is our daily business.
The variety of different technologies, combined with the ability to analyse your processing requirements and conduct tests in a state-of-the-art laboratory, ensures you receive the right equipment or individualised line solution for your specific needs.
Continuous optimisation: Transforming the future towards full autonomy
Recognising the need for seamless integration, robust cybersecurity, and continuous monitoring and optimisation, ANDRITZ has harnessed the power of smart sensors, big data analytics, and virtual and augmented reality to develop Metris: a portfolio of digital industrial solutions. These cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) solutions are designed to transform your industrial facility into a fully autonomous powerhouse.
Within this portfolio, Metris addIQ control systems offer cutting-edge machine and process control for solid/liquid separation equipment and systems. To ensure safe, trouble-free operations, ANDRITZ automation solutions range from upgrades to individual systems, including electrics, control equipment and instrumentation, to full automation of entire processes and plants. For greenfield plants, we design and test using dynamic simulations to ensure error-free start-up. For upgrades and optimisation projects, we can customise a complete range of engineering, process simulation, control and training solutions tailored to your specific requirements. Through the integration of AI algorithms and smart sensors, Metris streamlines production processes, enhances predictive maintenance and establishes robust condition monitoring.
With ANDRITZ, you are not just adopting a technology; you are partnering with a mining expert dedicated to guiding you through every step of the process.
