January 12, 2025TOMRA Mining’s sorting technology makes waves in mining sector worldwide
TOMRA Mining, the Norway-based multinational company specializing in sensor-based sorting equipment, has been making headlines in the mining world.
The first was the multinational company’s involvement in Lucara’s discovery of one of the largest rough-cut diamonds in recorded history. Lucara Diamond used Tomra X-ray transmission technology when it recovered the diamond at its Karowe mine in Botswana.
Tomra Mining has been in the news for its critical role in the world’s largest lithium sorting plant. Pilbara Minerals is a major player in the global lithium supply chain and successfully commissioned the ore sorting plant.
Tomra Mining tackled this challenge with its high-precision sensor-based sorting technology: 10 sorters — 4 TOMRA XRT COM TER for fines, 3 TOMRA XRT COM2.0 for mid-sized particles, and 3 TOMRA PRO primary color for coarse-sized particles. The facility’s ability to remove barren material upstream enhances the efficiency of downstream processes, reducing energy consumption by 8–15 GWh annually, and ensuring consistent product quality.
