Reduce tailings costs, boost water recovery, meet new environmental rules

From water resource recovery via dry stacking of copper tailings in Chile, to tailings discharge control for copper mines in the DRC and Zambia to reduce the load on tailings storage facilities, and further to dewatering and water recycling at hard-rock lithium mines in Australia, ultra-large belt filter presses are being increasingly adopted in mining and tailings treatment processes by virtue of their advantages including ultra-high throughput, ultra-low energy consumption and high degree of automation.

TSF Cost Reduction & Process Water Recovery Solutions

As high-grade ore deposits become increasingly scarce, copper mines in Chile, Peru, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Zambia, as well as hard rock lithium operations in Australia, are expanding production to meet growing global demand. Higher production inevitably generates more tailings, placing increasing pressure on existing Tailings Storage Facilities (TSFs), where storage capacity is limited.
Expanding a TSF requires substantial capital investment and is often complicated by lengthy permitting processes, environmental regulations, and community concerns. Our solutions help mining companies delay costly TSF expansions, recover more valuable process water, and reduce the volume of tailings sent to storage through high-capacity belt filter press technology—lowering overall tailings management costs while supporting safer and more sustainable mining operations.

                  We focus on innovation in belt filter press technology to gain a competitive edge in the transformation of the mining industry. With large processing capacity, energy efficiency, environmental friendliness, and easy operation, our belt filter presses provide a cost-effective solution for mine tailings dewatering.

                  The mining industry has entered a boom cycle

                  In H1 2026, rising resource prices and profits drove global mining growth, led by gold and copper via acquisitions.

                  Shortage of new reserves pushes expansion of existing mines. Chinese miners increase overseas gold investment for global layout.

                  Energy transition fuels copper and nickel demand with rising Indonesian supply; price swings and bold M&A bring risks.

                  Backed by resource security and industrial integration, the sector advances steadily, favoring resource-rich firms.
