Why it matters
Chrome Spiralinto Recovery
As the global leader in chrome production, South Africa faces the pressing challenge of unstable reliability in its fines processing operations. The industry demands robust equipment capable of enduring the abrasive nature of chrome extraction. Our advanced spirals excel in durability, efficiency, and reliability, outperforming competitors while maximising production in a smaller space. Embrace the future of chrome mining with our promise of enhanced longevity and profitability.
The Challenge
Tough onRough
Chrome mining struggles with spiral operations in beneficiation due to the high density of chromite ore, causing inefficiencies and yield losses. Fine particles and ore quality variations worsen clogging and effectiveness. Continuous optimization and innovative technologies are essential to improve efficiency and recovery rates.
Made in South Africa
So building a spiral that will outlast traditional solutions requires experience and know-how. Based on two decades of fine tuning high quality materials by trial and testing, we now offer spirals that last, with better metallurgical performance and durability, made in South Africa to our established Australian quality standards.
Our Solution
MT ChromeSpirals
Reliable Performance
Our advanced spirals are engineered to provide consistent and reliable performance in chrome mining operations. They are made from high quality materials that have been fine tuned over years of trial and testing. Our PU is a proprietary polyurethane technology hat has been proven to last.
With over 40 spiral variations, speak to us about which spiral works for you, and kicking things off with testwork in our own mineral lab.
Both our Australian and South African facilities are ISO 9001 certified.
The thing with chrome is: You want to extract something that wears down your equipment in the long run. So make it as strong as possible.

The Advantages
Built forChrome
By improving recovery rates and ore grades, these spirals lower overall costs and boost profits, delivering a compelling return on investment with a smaller operational footprint.
Advanced spirals feature round outlet boxes that prevent common blockages, using HDPE piping to enhance durability and reduce maintenance, streamlining chrome extraction processes.
MD spirals are cost-effective, offering top performance and competitive pricing. Their robust, modular design minimises maintenance, reduces setup costs, and ensures flexibility. High recovery rates and low operational costs provide a high ROI, ideal for chrome recovery projects.
Every mining site is unique. Mineral Technologies offers customisable MT spirals tailored to specific ore characteristics and operational needs. Expert consultants ensure effective and robust solutions for efficient mining operations.
OutperformingIndustry Standards
MT spirals offer superior chrome recovery with a compact design that consumes less space in mines. This advanced technology enhances efficiency and sustainability in mineral processing.
