Equipment for the diamond mining industry

Equipment for the diamond mining industry

Bourevestnik Inc. is one of the world's largest manufacturer of X-ray sorters for the diamond industry. Production of the enterprise is successfully operated by diamond companies of Angola, South Africa, Lesotho, Zimbabwe and Russia.

Main advantages of X-ray sorters are: efficiency, high selectivity and recovery, high performance, low environmental impact and low operating costs.

The range of X-ray sorters of Bourevestnik Inc covers all stages of enrichment of diamond materials: from the primary enrichment of ore to the final concentrate re-treatment. Over the years the enter-prise has produced more than 1600 sorters, over 600 of which are currently in operation.

Specially designed construction of sorters totally protects against the X-ray. Each unit is being tested for safety.

Sorter technology

Sorting equipment is widely applied in diamond production industry by making use sensor-based sorting methods of diamond-bearing ore. X-ray Luminescence Sorters have mostly found use in a broad range of diamond recovery solutions.

X-ray transmission (XRT) sorters, as well as luminescence sorters, are radiometric separators used for treatment of diamond-bearing ore.
