Diamond Recovery Dredges

Designers: Alluvial Dredges

Client

Andrade Gutierrez

Location

Construction: Brazil Operation: Brazil

A.D.L. Diamond Recovery Dredges are designed to comply with the specific requirements of the client’s project. The onboard treatment plant is designed to maximise recovery efficiency in the radial and rectangular jig concentration circuits.

Bucket capacities can range from 85 to 1,000 litres maximum annual throughputs of 8,500,000 cubic metres when dredging to depths of 60 metres below the waterline.

Dredges can be supplied as turnkey projects or designed to maximise indigenous supply components if so required.

The A.D.L. designed dredge built in Brazil has a larger than normal primary jig bed area to ensure maximum recovery efficiency of diamonds in the 1mm to 19mm size range. Fine gold, which is also present in this property, is recovered by a separate jig circuit.
