Wear and spare parts by Element for classification and beneficiation equipment

Efficient solutions for classification, flotation, and gravity concentration

Compatibility with equipment

Compatibility with equipment

Mining Element designs and manufactures reliable Element-brand components for mineral processing equipment, including flotation machines, gravity concentrators, and hydrocyclones. The parts are compatible with units from FLSmidth, Metso Outotec, Cavex, Krebs FLS, WEMCO, and Knelson. We are continuously expanding the range so it covers all in-demand flotation machine models.

Wear parts for flotation machines

Wear parts for flotation machines

Element aeration assemblies with rotor are made of high-strength polyurethane. They distribute air uniformly for effective flotation, create turbulent flow to generate fine bubbles, and promote efficient interaction between air bubbles and particles. The Mining Element range covers all models from FLSmidth, Metso Outotec, and WEMCO.

Wear parts for gravity concentrators

Wear parts for gravity concentrators

Element concentrating assemblies optimise recovery of valuable minerals. On request, Mining Element engineers develop a special bowl (basket) design tailored to specific operating conditions. Element parts are fully compatible with Knelson gravity concentrators.

Wear parts for hydrocyclones

Wear parts for hydrocyclones

The range includes:

  • Wear parts: liners (cone, cylinder, cover), spigots (apexes) and vortex finders (overflow tubes), adapters.
  • Spare parts: cones, cylinders, inlet chamber, cover, clamps.
  • Manufacture in steel, cast iron, or polymers depending on service conditions.
Case: A Far Eastern gold plant tested Element spigots.

Design and engineering

Mining Element’s design department prepares complete technical documentation. We design and build detailed 3D models of flotation machines, hydrocyclones, and gravity concentrators, with special attention to assemblability and to matching overall and connection dimensions.

Mining Element offers customised solutions on request. The process starts with collecting the client’s technical requirements and preferences. Based on this information, our engineers prepare design documentation, agree the project with the customer, and launch production.
