SpinTek supplies filters that maximize filtration media use time but are still easy to service. Our filter efficiency is unmatched in the mining industry. SpinTek manufactures precise tolerance filtration media using anthracite, garnet, and sand, and heavy duty matrix plates which can be custom fitted.

SpinTek offers a complete and comprehensive approach to media filtration for solvent extraction applications in copper, nickel and zinc mining. We provide cost-effective filtration solutions for SX-EW circuits; trouble-free operation; and long-term customer satisfaction. SpinTek has installed hundreds of filters world-wide, some operational for 20 years.

Anthracite – The top layer of media is coarse anthracite that has been selected to provide the majority of organic coalescing from the aqueous stream. It also acts as a coarse filter media prior to the primary filtering garnet bed.

Garnet – The filtering layer of media in a SpinTek SX filter is a fine crushed garnet. The garnet, while also acting as a coalescing media, is the primary filtering layer which provides the ten micron rating of the filter.

Sand – As sand layer is used to fill the lower head of the pressure vessel below the outlet laterals and serves as a support bed for the garnet.
