Roytec secures major belt filter contracts Tongxing (TXSY), in the Shandong prov- ince of China. They are fitted with standard European and South African brand mechanical components and are fully ser- viced and guaranteed by Roytec.

The 2 x 145 m 2 filters for the South African phosphate mine will be employed on concentrate and tailings dewatering duties allowing for a closed water circuit. They are the largest belt filters of their kind in Southern Africa. Roytec, website: www.roytec.co.za

A leading European mining company operating in the DRC has awarded Roytec a contract for the supply of 4 x 145 m 2 Roytec TXSY vacuum belt filters. This contract follows an earlier success where Roytec was awarded a contract for the supply of 2 x 145 m 2 vacuum belt filters for a new phosphate mine in the Western Cape. The DRC contract is for copper recovery after tank leaching and employs a 3-stage counter-current cake washing system for optimum efficiency. The filters are being constructed in a combination of 316 stain- less steel and mild steel sections and were ready for shop trial assembly eight weeks after contract signature. Roytec carried out site testwork and completed the process specification in con- junction with the client’s engineers, and a unique dual feed system allowing for a pre- coat of coarse material before the addition of flocculated fines has been specified. The filters will be manufactured by Roytec’s partner, Nuclear Industries Yantai
