CASE STUDIES
Primary Crushing Plant +
Three-stage limestone crushing plant, which is constructed in three individual plants. Secondary and tertiary plant with closed crushing circuits.
Sand Washing Plant +
The plant receives a clay contaminated slurry. By means of a bucket wheel, hydro cyclone and a dewatering screen a 0 – 4 mm sand is produced. The process water is recycled and a clay filter cake is stockpiled.
Pelletizing Limestone +
Pelletizing plant for agricultural limestone pellets. The plant takes in limestone filter dust from other processes. Mechanically robust pellets are produced with the help of a mixer, pelletizing plate and fluid bed dryer.

USER EXPERIENCE
Explore the experience of NiaFlow users all araund the world
The process simulation software “NIAflow” developed by H&B provides a robust process flow design and fast scenario analysis. It gives all tools that you need to develop, characterise and optimise a mineral processing plant in a single software package. The professional reporting and accurate mass balancing are some of the features that can assist in proper selection of equipment(s) that are fit for purpose.
Adel Vatandoost
Senior Geometallurgist at Fortescue Metals Group
With just a few clicks, the process design is created and the modeling of the material flows can begin. Regardless of whether you are designing systems or optimizing existing systems, you do not forget anything and material circuits can be determined reliably. It is a great advantage to save your own machine parameter groups and upload them into the current flow sheet. I like the fact that regarding the calculation of screening results, the unavoidable misplaced material is determined on the basis of the selected screen media and thus real mass flows are taken into account in the process design.
