The DMS process is employed for the pre-concentration of suitable ores upstream from expensive downstream metallurgical processes, and also employs the separation of heavy waste particles (such as metals) from light waste particles.

​​

​

The DMS process involves the mixing of a pre-prepared ore stream with a dense medium of selected specific gravity (SG) in a mixing box and passing this mixture through a dense medium cyclone (DM cyclone). It is here that separation of the high and low SG fractions of the ore occurs.

Bond Equipment DMS plants.

​

Bond Equipment modular plants’ throughput capacities are 8, 20, 50, 100 & 150 tons/hour.

 

Our latest generation modular cyclone DMS plants offer improvement in the following areas:

​

• Enhanced dense medium SG control;

• Improved dense medium plus ore mixing;

• Economical dense medium recovery;

• A separate drain and rinse screen for each of the sinks and floats streams for applications with high concentrate mass yields;

• Deployment of first-class proprietary equipment in our plants e.g. Warman pumps and densifiers, Eriez Magnetics drum magnetic separators, Multotec cyclones and screens, Debex SG controllers and Siemens electrical switchgear.
