Gratomic Announces Arrival of Custom Processing Plant Components from South Africa

Look dudes! Custom-built Material Hopper and Graphite Chipper arrives to the Aukam mine site from South Africa.

Excavation and preparations on the foundations for the Filter Press, Chipper, Cyclone, and Material Hopper have been successfully completed.

Two separate foundations were constructed to accommodate the commercial Filter Press. The equipment will be strategically placed one meter from the base of the product thickener tank. This will establish the shortest distance between the equipment for the graphite concentrate slurry to effectively enter the filter press from the product thickener tank. The press will be fitted onto two separate

At 16 feet long, the Filter Press will have the capacity to process 5 tonnes of graphite concentrate per hour and will reduce the moisture content up to 92% before the concentrate enters the custom-built chipper. It will then make its way from the chipper into the rotary drying unit. Water that has been extracted from the filter press will be routed back to the settling reservoir tanks

These components will complete the drying circuit of the Aukam 20,000 tonnes per annum commercial graphite processing plant.

A supply conveyor will be installed and positioned to feed the material hopper with graphite containing material from the previously installed crushing and screening circuit.

The material hopper is designed to hold 80 tonnes of material to allow for a 1 and a half days' supply buffer to the processing plant .
