Developed for the Australian market, the plant incorporates lessons from over a decade of sorting plants. Our innovations in preparing feed material for XRT units to ensure maximum operating efficiency have become industry standard. We deployed the first production-scale XRT plant to recover large diamonds in 2012 and have now installed and operated more than thirty units.
The Plant is available in twenty-two (22) weeks ex-works South Africa (excluding the XRT Sorting Modules).
-600 mm Run-of-Mine.
The Plant is designed and fabricated to Australian standards and includes:
1 x Primary (jaw) and 1 x Secondary (cone) Metso Crushers.
1 x Rock Breaker for oversize material.
1 x Metso Triple-Deck Screen for sizing and feed preparation.
2 x Sorting Modules (2 x TOMRA COM Tertiary XRT 1200/B – Semi Mobile).
2 x Vibramech "Polishing" Screens (one per Sorting Module) based on a configuration developed with Consulmet on various projects.
1 x Air Compressor (Atlas Copco) skid to service the Sorting Modules.
The Plant is offered in two configurations:
"fixed" Metso equipment installed on conventional cast in-situ concrete foundations; or
a skid-mounted, relocatable format.
For maximum flexibility and economy, we offer two options for the Plant conveyors:
with or without conveyor walkways; and
with or without head chutes on the stockpile conveyors.
100 x 50 m (excluding plant stockpiles).

The full plant will be trial erected in our yard prior to disassembly for shipment. The customer will be invited to witness and sign off the trial erection. Final modifications can be made as part of this process.
A full installation manual will be provided with the Plant to facilitate re-assembly on site. Construction supervision and commissioning is included as standard.
The Plant is designed not to exceed the Durban-Fremantle RO-RO and Western Australia road constraints. Larger structural steelwork is shipped as 2D panels, with smaller steelwork structures shipped as fully assembled 3D modules. The shipping format can be finalised during the supply and trial erection with the customer's input.
The Plant can be specified with a full range of Consulmet-supplied optional extras, including:
Diesel generators
Conveyor walkways
Head chutes for the stockpile conveyors
A range of Consulmet standard DMS modules for downstream product beneficiation.
Ex-Works Delivery (South Africa): 22 weeks (excluding the XRT Sorting Modules)
Price: POA.
Flowsheets, mass balance, 2D and 3D plant general arrangement drawings, and a 3D model are available on request. For a formal quotation, please email australia@consulmet.com.au.
