In the world of engineering, mining, and industrial processes, it’s common to encounter a wide range of technical terminology. At Promimex, we believe that understanding these concepts allows our clients to make more informed and efficient decisions.
Below is a glossary with clear and simple definitions of some of the most frequently used terms related to our solutions:
Agitator
A mechanical device used to mix liquids or solids suspended in liquids. Commonly used in processes that require maintaining a homogeneous mixture.
Submersible Pump
A device placed directly into a liquid to extract or move it. Frequently used in mining, water treatment, and other industries that handle large volumes of fluids.
Die Casting
A manufacturing process in which molten metal is injected into a high-precision mold. Ideal for automotive parts due to its high accuracy and efficiency.
Filter Press
A solid-liquid separation device that uses pressure to filter mixtures. Commonly used in mining to dewater mineral concentrates.
Industrial Hose
A flexible conduit that allows the transport of fluids, gases, or solid materials. Varies depending on the material, pressure, and temperature of the process.
Lime Slurry Preparation Plant
A system designed to mix lime with water to obtain a homogeneous suspension. Used in neutralization processes or water treatment.
Reagent Preparation Plant
A facility designed to prepare chemical substances needed for mining or metallurgical processes. Automates the dosing and mixing of products.
Scissor Lift Platform
An elevation device that allows work at different heights safely. Used in both industrial environments and general maintenance tasks.
Gold-Silver Recovery System
A specialized system for extracting and recovering precious metals from processed ore. Improves efficiency in metallurgical operations.
Solid-Liquid Separator
A technology used to separate solid particles suspended in liquids. Essential in industrial wastewater treatment.
Metallurgical Sampling System
A system designed to extract representative samples at different stages of a process. Ensures quality control of the final product.
Water Treatment
A purification process that allows water to be reused or safely discharged. Includes filtration, neutralization, and removal of heavy metals.
