Color-nir mineral sorting solution

Optimize sorting processes with advanced near-infrared technology, enabling precise separation of large-particle minerals for enhanced throughput and quality control in mining operations.

Sorts and Pre-Concentrates Mineral Ores

The PRO Primary COLOR-NIR from TOMRA is designed for the mining and industrial minerals sector, providing exceptional sorting and pre-concentration capabilities. It employs TOMRA’s proprietary FLYING BEAM® near-infrared technology to precisely sort and pre-concentrate materials, such as Kimberlite diamonds and bauxite ore, within a particle size range of 50mm to 250mm. The machine supports continuous high-speed operations, efficiently handling large volumes to optimize processing throughput. Its robust design ensures high wear resistance, extending component lifetime in demanding pre-processing and processing applications.

Integration with the TOMRA Insight cloud-based platform enables remote data monitoring, enhancing operational transparency and process optimization. This mineral sorting machine’s efficient construction reduces power consumption and maintenance time with easy access to replaceable components. Suitable for a wide range of materials and processes, it’s an ideal choice for those looking to maximize material recovery in the mining and mineral processing industries.
