The SOPAT MiningScope is an inline particle measurement solution in mining applications. Some of the main features of this technology are listed below.

  • Inline measurement despite abrasive environment. The system is absolutely robust and has been adapted to the specific conditions in the mining industry.
  • Accurate measurement of particle size to avoid over-milling: over-milling leads to slime formation, reduced throughput, and high milling costs. With SOPAT, the milling process is optimized -inline and automated.
  • Lower maintenance costs. Compared to other particle size process solutions, maintenance costs are reduced by 80%.
  • Robust measurement of particle size to ensure efficient separation in the flotation cells. Measurement before the particles enter the flotation cells will ensure the correct size distribution before problems occur in the flotation cell. The SOPAT solution distinguishes between particles and bubbles and measures both separately.
  • Easy implementation and low manpower requirements. No moving parts, 24/7 installation, direct insertion of the probe into the process and thus no more sampling and dilution. This makes the expensive infrastructure with its sampling and dilution equipment obsolete.
  • In combination with our hardware, our software provides real-time analysis of particle size distribution. Distinguishing particles from bubbles is made possible with the photo-optical analysis. Connect the SOPAT equipment to your process control system, including long distances -up to 10 kms.
  • With the integrated probe control you have a powerful tool to generate live images using different control functions to manipulate the image quality. Acquire images directly from your process and store them on the hard disc drive of the reliable SOPAT Workstation for immediate image analysis and/or later use.

MECOSA (Pty) Ltd is the sole business partner for SOPAT in Southern Africa.
