Portable Ultra Fines Recovery (UFR) Plants are built on a Department of Transportation approved chassis and designed to recover nominal 200 mesh by 400 mesh particles. The plants consist of a partitioned sump, McLanahan Slurry Pump, bank of McLanahan Hydrocyclones specifically engineered to recover ultra-fine particles and a McLanahan Dewatering Screen for reducing the moisture content of the final product for stockpiling. These components, along with the electrical control panel, are neatly and conveniently housed on a wheeled chassis for the ultimate in portability.
WHY MCLANAHAN
McLanahan’s Portable UFR Plants feature field-proven equipment, backed by years of process knowledge and experience. Like McLanahan’s stationary UFRs, Portable UFRs provide the finest size fraction recovery available without the use of chemicals. This saves producers money when dealing with ponds by sending less tons per hour of fines into the pond every day. It also creates a standalone product that is drip-free and easy to manage.
Mucking out ponds can be expensive and dangerous. Installing a McLanahan Portable UFR can decrease the amount of pond maintenance required to only once a year or once every other year. If you add up how much cost it is to muck your ponds out several times a year, the Portable UFR pays for itself very quickly.
Portable UFRs reduce the amount of material reporting to settling ponds or tailings storage facilities by recapturing ultra-fine particles that can quickly fill settling ponds or overload downstream processing equipment. Recaptured material discharges from the Portable UFR as a drip-free product that is easy to manage on site and potentially salable.
When you're ready to move the Portable UFR, just unplug everything, fold the Hydrocyclone tower down via the hydraulic cylinder, attach it to a truck and pull it to the next location. Featuring prewired sump and pump motors, one power line, a slurry inlet, and a waste outlet, the plants can be up and running in a day, or less depending on site readiness.
