CHALLENGES FACING THE HYDROMETALLURGY INDUSTRY
Adapting to market & regulatory requirements, standing out from the competition through technological innovation & minimising your ecological footprint.
Hydrometallurgy consists of dissolving the metals in an ore in a liquid solution, and then separating them out using processes such as leaching, precipitation or filtration. These are the key steps in purifying metals such as copper, uranium, zinc, lithium, bauxite, alumina, nickel, cobalt, chromium, manganese and gold using a liquid process.
For many years, HASLER Group has contributed actively to the priorities of global players in the hydrometallurgy industry, including:
/ OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE: LUMPP industrial mixers ensure homogeneous mixing of rocks and solvents, essential for leaching processes or thickeners. The recovery rate of HASLER filters optimises the products to be recovered by maintaining the highest concentration without dilution.
/ REGULATORY COMPLIANCE: HASLER Filtration equipment is used to process metal residues and reduce the concentration of solid particles, helping to meet environmental standards and regulations on waste.
/ PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE: opting for a HASLER Group industrial agitation solution combined with a preventive maintenance service provided by our experts minimises downtime and increases the reliability of installations (e.g. fleet audit, installation of sensors).
/ OPERATIONAL RELIABILITY: the LUMPP industrial agitation equipment used guarantees a homogeneous distribution of reagents and materials, helping to improve operational efficiency. HASLER industrial filters ensure maximum operating time and minimum scheduled downtime for hydrometallurgy processes.
/ SUSTAINABILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY: industrial filtration equipment used for decades for hydrometallurgy, such as PHILIPPE belt filters, is essential for accurately separating fine solid particles from liquids, recovering water and minimising metal content in waste.
To meet these challenges alongside players in the global hydrometallurgy industry, our experts design, manufacture, assemble, install, commission and maintain high-performance solutions.

EQUIPMENT FOR HYDROMETALLURGY
Industrial filters, mixers and feeders for liquid metal treatment processes
LUMPP VERTICAL MIXERS AND HEAVY-DUTY INDUSTRIAL AGITATORS FOR HYDROMETALLURGY PROCESSES
Designed for hydrometallurgy, LUMPP heavy-duty industrial mixers deliver performance and reliability during processing stages involving nickel, zinc, gold, cobalt or copper.
CONTINUOUS VACUUM FILTRATION: PHILIPPE HORIZONTAL BELT FILTER or VERNAY ROTARY DRUM FILTER
These industrial filtration equipment are designed for solid-liquid separation operations used in hydrometallurgy.
The PHILIPPE filters guarantee high performance in terms of washing and drying, exceptional chemical resistance, significant water savings, and extended lifespan.
The VERNAY rotary filters ensure 98% availability 24/7, high cake drying performance, reduced initial investment and operating costs, all with a minimal footprint.
WEIGH BELT FEEDERS AND APRON EXTRACTOR WEIGH FEEDERS FOR HYDROMETALLURGY PROCESSES
The GRAVIT belt feeders have been installed for decades at the heart of processes using hydrometallurgy processes.
The versatile MAMMUTHUS extractor-dosers are suitable for large extraction sections and difficult materials.
The RBP loss-in-weight feeders are gravimetric feeders for bulk powdery or slightly granular materials.
These devices come with SCM III controllers available in 2 versions: embedded (FIELD) or for electrical cabinet (PANEL).
The PANEL version can be delivered alone or in an adjacent electrical cabinet.
BELT SCALES AND ELECTRONIC EARS FOR HYDROMETALLURGY
The SBS (Smart Belt Scale) is an intelligent integrative scale for demanding outdoor conditions.
The BFC is a flow meter and totalizer for integrative scales and industrial dosing equipment.
The SOUND 2 is a next-generation digital electronic ear, available in 2 versions : ADVANCED or PREMIUM.
