Building on the proven overhead filter press concept, the new system meets the industry’s demands for higher throughput, shorter cycle times, and improved water recovery.
ANDRITZ filter presses have long been a key component in mining operations, particularly for tailings filtration to enable dry stacking and safe material disposal. Incorporating extensive customer feedback, the new MiningMaster ME4 has been engineered to handle higher volumes of mine residues while reducing residual moisture and maximizing process water recovery. This development underscores ANDRITZ’s commitment to resource conservation and environmental protection in close collaboration with its customers.
“The MiningMaster ME4 represents a major leap forward in filtration performance,” said Mario Gerards, Industry Director Minerals and Mining at ANDRITZ. “By combining mechanical innovation with intelligent automation, we are helping our customers set new benchmarks in efficiency, safety, and environmental responsibility.”
The improvements include:
• Extended filtration area: The MiningMaster ME4 can accommodate larger filter plates of 2,500 x 2,600 mm and up to 240 chambers enabling filtration volumes of up to 60,000 liters per single machine.
• Shorter cycle times: The split beam design and a linked plate system allow for more filter plates to be discharged at the same time. In combination with an intelligent cloth washing feature, using high-pressure double cloth washing at 60 80 bar, cycle times are significantly reduced.
• Improved handling of filter elements: Design enhancements including optimized handling of filter plates and cloths through access from above enable quick filter cloth and plate changes.
These advancements, combined with superior wear resistance, make the MiningMaster ME4 the ideal solution for tailings dewatering in applications such as iron ore, copper, and aluminum processing. Its modular design offers operational flexibility and easy scaling to meet growing capacity nee.
