Our advanced plant maximizes chrome recovery and reduces waste
Producing +6mm lumpy, -6mm+1mm chip, or -1mm fines to match your smelter requirements
Our chrome wash plant is designed to maximize the value of your chrome ore by efficiently removing impurities and upgrading it to a high-quality concentrate. This process ensures you get the best possible return on your investment
Our state-of-the-art plant utilizes a highly efficient dense media separation process, upgrading 25-40% Cr2O3 ROM ore to 42-50% premium concentrate. This process maximizes chrome recovery while minimizing waste.
We're committed to sustainable chrome processing. Our operations minimize waste and reduce our environmental footprint, ensuring responsible resource management.

Our advanced dense media separation process efficiently upgrades raw chrome ore (ROM) to a higher quality product, maximizing valuable chrome recovery and removing impurities.

We produce high-grade chrome concentrate, optimized for purity and consistency, directly suitable for various industrial applications.
Our specialized chrome wash plant offers distinct advantages, directly leveraging its advanced capabilities and proven performance:
● Capital Expenditure (CAPEX): High initial investment for plant construction and equipment.
● Operating Expenditure (OPEX): Significant costs for power, water, reagents (e.g., ferrosilicon), labor, maintenance, and transportation.
● Revenue: Driven by chrome concentrate price (influenced by global demand, stainless steel production, supply-demand balance), grade, and recovery.
smelters).
● Primary Customers: Ferrochrome producers (for stainless steel manufacturing), chemical industries, refractory industries, foundries.
● Pricing: Global commodity market prices, often influenced by supply from major producers (South Africa, Kazakhstan, Turkey, India) and demand from China, Europe, and India.
● Ore Body Depletion: Need for continuous exploration and development of new resources.
● Lower Grade Ores: Increasing reliance on beneficiation to process lower-grade or more complex ores.
● Environmental Regulations: Increasingly stringent environmental standards requiring advanced water and tailings management.
We accept ROM chrome ore starting from 25% Cr₂O₃ content. Our advanced DMS circuit can economically upgrade lower-grade ores (25-40% Cr₂O₃) to premium 42-50% concentrate.
Our plant achieves 92% average recovery for coarse chrome particles (>1mm) using DMS cyclones, with overall plant recovery of 88-90% including fines processing via spirals.
