An andalusite processing plant, comprising a combination of 30 t/h and 50 t/h DMS modules, fully erected after testing at the works.

A BATEMAN diamond recovery module at sea. Modules for marine environments are designed and constructed out of materials which cope with the harsh marine environment



A modular coal washing plant handling 180 t/hr of ROM coal – one of the world’s largest single cyclone modular plants to be used for coal processing.



This 50 t/h diamond recovery plant in a remote location in Angola is easy to transport, set up on site and requires minimal maintenance.



Modules for permafrost or severe winter conditions are completely housed with insulated and heated treatment plants, enclosed conveyor galleries with timber flooring and handrails. Utilidors are used for process and fresh water piping and/or heat tracing and water tanks are located within the module or specially designed for exterior location.




The main module of the andalusite processing plant being dismantled and loaded onto a low-bed transporter for delivery to site.



BATEMAN density tracers improve DMS recoveries. They are used primarily to test the performance efficiency of dense media separation (DMS)
cyclone plants and
other beneficiation processes involving density differential.

The tracers are colour coded according to density and are easy to spot and separate from the host material.

Modular process plants

• for prospecting, exploration and small scale mining and mineral processing
  
  
• handle from 1 to 200 t/h
  
  
• are movable as all the plant equipment is contained in transportable framed structures
  
  
• can be supplied as either new plants or as retrofit modules into existing plants
  
  
• were developed for the harsh African environment for land, marine and dredging operations.

Configured to specific process requirements

• from laboratory work to prospecting and exploration to small scale production
  
  
• for all deposits, from diamonds and coal to gold to base minerals

DMS modules handle a wide range of supply feeds

• pre-designed 1, 5, 10, 15/20, 40, 50, 100, 150 and 200 t/hr modules
  
  
• tailor-made designs to individual requirements
  
  
• maximum sizes limited by transport capacities and regulations

Cost effective and reliable with low maintenance costs

• up-to-date but proven design and technology
  
  
• pre-delivery shop tested - mechanical, electrical and full water tests
  
  
• wear resistant equipment and materials - tailored to requirement

Easy to transport and move around exploration sites

• modules are mounted on a structural steel boxed skid frames

• all pumps and sumps are mounted on the skid frames and this obviates the need for extensive civil site preparation

• integral spillage/catch sump can be provided

Easy to assemble and commission

Background

BATEMAN is the world leader in modular engineered transportable process plants for mining and minerals processing applications.

The concept was developed by BATEMAN nearly three decades ago and has progressed steadily ever since. As new technology was proven this has been added to the range of modules made available to clients

Most of these plants have been used for diamond recovery, but the range has been expanded steadily to cover other minerals processing applications
