TOMRA Sorting Mining: XRT Final Recovery solution that guarantees 99% diamond recovery.

TOMRA Sorting Mining has launched the new TOMRA COM XRT 300 /FR Final Recovery sorter, which delivers concentration factors up to 1 million with limited stages and is the only solution, the company claims, that guarantees >99% diamond recovery.

An electric X-Ray tube creates a broad-band radiation, which penetrates the conveyor belt fed material and provides spectral absorption information. This is measured with an X-Ray camera using DUOLINE® sensor technology, which focuses on a single, constant property of the material, density.
The resolution sensor information is processed by the Image Processing Pipeline to provide a detailed “density image” of the material, allowing it to be separated into high- and low-density fractions. If diamonds are detected it commands the control unit to open the appropriate valves of the ejection module at the end of the conveyor belt.

The TOMRA COM XRT 300 /FR is the latest step in company’s long-term strategy for the diamond sector, which is to provide its customers with a complete recovery solution. “We always had this clear objective, but the technology just didn’t exist. We knew that to achieve our goal, we would need extremely advanced sensor technology. We have been working in-house on the development the new ultra-high-resolution sensor for more than 5 years and now we are able to close the loop.” explains Geoffrey Madderson, Diamond Segment Manager for TOMRA Sorting Mining.
