Tailings Dewatering

Tailings dewatering is crucial for protecting local communities and the environment.

REDUCE TAILINGS COSTS, BOOST WATER RECOVERY, MEET NEW ENVIRONMENTAL RULES

Mining Dewatering delivers advanced dewatering solutions for the global mining industry. From copper tailings dry stacking in Chile, to discharge control for copper mines in the DRC and Zambia, and water recycling at hard-rock lithium operations in Australia — our ultra-large belt filter presses are proven in the field. With ultra-high throughput, ultra-low energy consumption, and a high degree of automation, we help miners cut tailings costs, recover more water, and stay ahead of tightening environmental regulations.

TSF COST REDUCTION & PROCESS WATER RECOVERY SOLUTIONS

As high-grade ore deposits become increasingly scarce, copper mines in Chile, Peru, the DRC, and Zambia, along with hard-rock lithium operations in Australia, are expanding production to meet surging global demand. Higher output means more tailings — and greater pressure on tailings storage facilities (TSFs) with limited capacity.
Mining Dewatering helps you break this cycle. Our high-capacity belt filter press technology enables mines to delay costly TSF expansions, recover more process water, and significantly reduce tailings volume sent to storage. With proven solutions across copper and lithium operations worldwide, Mining Dewatering lowers overall tailings management costs while supporting safer, more sustainable mining — without sacrificing production.

Designed for mine tailings dry discharge

Engineered specifically for the demanding conditions of mine tailings dewatering, our Dual-Motor Large Belt Filter Press delivers exceptional performance where it matters most. Achieving moisture content comparable to plate and frame filter presses — yet 20% to 30% lower than conventional belt filter presses — this machine sets a new standard for tailings dry discharge.
With dual-motor drive technology, higher squeezing pressure, and intelligent automation, it handles high tonnage continuously while maintaining consistent cake dryness. The result: less water in your tailings, more water returned to your process, and significantly reduced load on your TSF — all with lower energy consumption per tonne processed.
Built for mining. Proven in the field. Engineered to last.

Tailings dry stacking

We focus on innovation in belt filter press technology to gain a competitive edge in the transformation of the mining industry. With large processing capacity, energy efficiency, environmental friendliness, and easy operation, our belt filter presses provide a cost-effective solution for mine tailings dewatering.

The mining industry has entered a boom cycle

In H1 2026, rising resource prices and profits drove global mining growth, led by gold and copper via acquisitions.

Shortage of new reserves pushes expansion of existing mines. Chinese miners increase overseas gold investment for global layout.

Energy transition fuels copper and nickel demand with rising Indonesian supply; price swings and bold M&A bring risks.

Backed by resource security and industrial integration, the sector advances steadily, favoring resource-rich firms.
