Stop Wasting Profitable Ore
Get Real-Time Data to Control Ore Quality — Before It Costs You
OreScanner detects clay, MgO, and other impurities in your raw feed — so you can blend smarter, load selectively, or trigger alarms when limits are exceeded.
✅ No obligation ✅ On-site trial available ✅ Proven in EU lime plants
Key Benefits
🎯 Targets Your Impurities
Clay, MgO, whiteness, carbon zones, grade shifts
Fast ROI
Payback in under 6 months at typical throughput
Fits Any Setup
Easy to install on any belt or feeder — no redesign needed
Installation Spotlight:
Inside a German Lime Plant
Problem:
Too much good limestone was being discarded. Visual checks misclassified high-clay loads, sending saleable material to the waste pile.
Solution:
The OreScanner was mounted on an existing canopy support beam, 8 meters away from the ore feeder. From this distance, it scans the moving rock stream continuously and in real time.
Result:
With a preset clay threshold, the system now automatically diverts only truly high-impurity ore. Misclassified waste dropped by 40%.
Operator Feedback:
“We recovered saleable rock from day one — and freed the control room team for higher-value work.”
How it works?
1. Scan the Ore
As material moves along the conveyor or feeder, the OreScanner scans it continuously in real time.
2. Analyze by Batch
The system calculates the average ore grade or impurity level for each batch — with batch size set by the user, from a short belt segment to a full truckload.
3. Sort Automatically
Based on the results, the system sends a signal to the PLC. The diverter then sends each batch to the waste pile or the processing line, depending on the quality limits you define.
Benefits for processors & miners
More Saleable Tons
Recover up to 40% of ore previously lost due to misclassification.
Extended Mine Life
Reduce waste buildup and make better use of existing reserves.
Lower Personnel and Fuel Costs
Automated sorting reduces the need for visual inspection and selective digging or loading — cutting both labor hours and unnecessary machine use.
Dealing with Veins, Zoning, or Hidden Contaminants?
Don’t let problem rock slip through. OreScanner identifies contaminated ore in real time and sends each batch where it belongs — either to the waste pile or the processing line — based on the thresholds you set.
Detects clay, MgO, carbon, whiteness, and more
Automatically diverts contaminated loads — less dilution
Recover more value from every blast
