India's chrome ore reserves, concentrated in Odisha and Karnataka, feed a
thriving stainless steel and refractory industry. Yet, small-scale miners
struggle with outdated methods, low recovery rates, and tightening regulations.
As a global leader in mineral processing equipment and turnkey solutions, we
empower Indian miners to overcome these challenges sustainably.
Pain Point 1: Low Recovery Rates (30-50%)
Most small Indian chrome mines rely on manual sorting and basic spiral concentrators, wasting up to 50% of Cr₂O₃ in tailings.
Science-Driven Insight:
Chrome ore liberation requires crushing to <1mm particle size for optimal recovery.
Ore variability (e.g., high iron content in Sukinda ore) demands tailored beneficiation flowsheets.
Our Solution:
AI-Powered XRT Sorting: Pre-concentrate ore at the primary stage, reducing downstream processing costs by 40%.
High-Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGR): Achieve finer grinding with 30% lower energy use vs. ball mills.
Pain Point 2: High Operating Costs
Skyrocketing Energy and Labor Expenses
Indian chrome plants spend 35-45% of opex on electricity and manual labor.
Our Solution:
Modular Processing Plants:
Capacity: 10–100 TPH, pre-engineered for rapid deployment.
Features: Automated controls, solar-hybrid power options.
Case Study: A Karnataka miner reduced energy costs by 52% using our containerized DMS (Dense Media Separation) module.
Pain Point 3: Compliance with Environmental Laws
Water Scarcity and Tailings Management
India’s Sustainable Mining Framework 2023 mandates zero liquid discharge (ZLD) for mines.
Our Expertise:
Dry Stack Tailings Technology:
Eliminates tailing ponds.
Recovers 90% process water via filter presses and thickeners.
Effluent Treatment: Reverse osmosis (RO) systems to meet CPCB discharge standards.
1. End-to-End Turnkey Services
From ore testing to plant commissioning, we deliver:
Stage 1: Ore characterization (XRD/XRF analysis).
Stage 2: Custom flowsheet design (gravity, magnetic, or flotation routes).
Stage 3: Equipment supply and installation.
Stage 4: Operator training and maintenance support.
2. Made for India, Made in India
Local Assembly: Partner with Indian manufacturers to meet “Make in India” requirements (40% local content).
Policy Compliance: Ensure adherence to MMDR Act and EIA notifications.
1. Dense Media Separation (DMS)
How It Works: Uses a ferrosilicon slurry to separate chrome from gangue by density.
Best For: Coarse ore (+1mm) with clear liberation.
Efficiency: Up to 92% Cr₂O₃ recovery.
2. Spiral chute
How It Works: Combines gravity separation with real-time sensor feedback to adjust pitch and wash water.
Best For: Fine ore (-1mm) in low-capacity settings.
3. Combined XRT + Magnetic Separation
How It Works:
1. XRT sensors remove low-grade rocks pre-crushing.
2. High-intensity magnetic drums extract chromite from non-magnetic silicates.
Recovery Boost: 15-20% higher yield vs. conventional methods.
