Managing tailings safely and sustainably remains one of mining’s biggest challenges. For operations where above-ground deposition in a Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) is the only option, equipment must balance operational efficiency, safety, and environmental responsibility.
Many conventional methods struggle to meet stricter regulations, sustainable water use targets, and the need to manage both rate of rise and long-term TSF stability.
Multotec’s GV Cyclone was designed specifically for tailings dam applications. Engineered for durability, flexibility, simple maintenance, and process efficiency, the cyclone features a lightweight spin-cast steel shell lined with bonded rubber, allowing it to withstand pressure fluctuations while remaining easy to move on-site.
“By improving material distribution, Multotec’s GV Cyclones help mining operations reduce their environmental impact while maintaining safe and efficient tailings deposition,” says Ernst Bekker, Cyclone Product Specialist at Multotec.
