Mining and Minerals
Mechanical screening is a critical component in the mining process, taking granulated raw materials and separating it into multiple grades by particle size. The mining and mineral processing industry uses a variety of screening solutions for a variety of processing applications. Below are typical applications:
Gold
iBulk has expansive experience in the supply of equipment for Gold Heated Leach applications that include Carbon Sizing Screens, Heated Loaded Carbon Screens, Carbon Transfer Sizers & Feeders, and Carbon Dewatering Screens.

Gypsum
Dry powder screening is mostly done after calcification to ensure consistency of the product. The round separators are also used on the wet in feed product for lump removal.
iBulk Products: Rotex and Sweco Circular Separators.
Frac Sand
Frac sand is used in the fracturing of shale to release natural gas, oil and natural gas liquids from pores in the rock. Frac sand is basically a high-purity, crush-resistant quartz sand with very durable and very round grains.
