M515 in Copper Extraction
A customer, based in Indonesia, specializes in copper extraction and started using the MDS M515 in their process to extract copper from rocks.
They encountered a recurring issue with residual clay in their stockpiles, leading to unfavorable chemical reactions. Conventional methods fell short in delivering clean rocks for processing.
