:: Largest To-Date DMS Diamond-Processing Module for Congo

The new 200 t/h dense-media separation (DMS) module to be delivered to Miba in Mbuji Mayi in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) will be the largest diamond-processing module supplied by Bateman to date. It is an upgrade of Bateman's standard 150 t/h unit, which is now well proven in the industry, six having been supplied since the first one was delivered in 1998.

The new module will form part of Miba's 400 t/h NLK2 kimberlite-treatment plant and is in effect a repeat order. Miba's NLK1 diamond-processing facility was supplied by Bateman in 1998. The total weight of the plant, which comprises 10 modules, is 130t.
