Excellence in ceramic grinding for the mining industry
Magotteaux mining grinding beads ceramic deliver consistent performance for fine and ultra-fine grinding, helping mining operators reduce costs and improve recovery rates. Developed with Grintec Advanced Materials Technology Co., Ltd., they combine cutting-edge ceramic know-how with Magotteaux’s century-long expertise in comminution.
Why mining operations choose Magotteaux ceramic beads
Magotteaux ceramic beads stand out in mining grinding applications, thanks to:
- Maximum recovery, lower costs: designed to achieve optimum liberation size, the beads help improve concentrate grade while keeping energy and media consumption under control.
- Lowest wear rate in mining conditions: wear measured in g/kWh is significantly reduced, even in highly abrasive ores, minimizing replacement frequency and unplanned downtime.
- Process stability and efficiency: consistent bead density and size distribution ensure reliable grinding performance in SMD, IsaMill, HIG, VXP and MXP circuits
- Reduced contamination of valuable minerals: thanks to their inert chemical composition, ceramic beads prevent unwanted contamination of ground ore, preserving metal recovery and final concentrate quality.
- Tailored to your circuit: with densities ranging from 2.7 to 6.1 g/cm³ and diameters from 0.2 to 15 mm, operators can select the ideal bead type for every stage of their grinding process
- Continuous development of new quality product with our partner Grintec to respond to market demand
