Mineral Processing

A processing plant handles the widest range of material of any site we supply — dense concentrate, fine dry product, reagents, and waste streams. Each has a different bag, and the plant needs all of them.

One site, every bag type

Mineral processing is where the full range of our catalog tends to show up on a single purchase order. The concentrate is dense enough that sizing has to be done by weight. The dry product may be a combustible dust. The reagents may ship as dangerous goods. Some output may be destined for food or supplement markets.

Those are four different specification problems, and getting one of them wrong has consequences that range from a torn bag to an ignition event.

The static question is the one to get right

If a plant handles fine, dry, combustible product, the choice between FIBC types B, C and D is a safety decision. Type C works only when grounded, every time, by every operator. Where that cannot be guaranteed, Type D removes the operator from the safety case entirely.

We would rather work through that assessment with you than quote a type from a list.
