Minerali Industriali Engineering Laboratory
Phase#2
In our mineral testing laboratories, we can simulate all kind of treatments on received samples in order to define the optimal preliminary layout which permits to obtain the final product required quality.
Minerali Industriali Engineering Laboratory
Minerali Industriali Engineering’s Technological Laboratory has always had a fundamental role in the company’s strategy, supporting the mining activity in all its phases: geological research and extraction, industrial simulations, production analysis, research, mine drawing, product development. Thanks to the specialization and experience of its laboratory, Minerali Industriali Engineering can effectively interact with the customer, quickly satisfying its requests.
Competence fields
Technological Laboratory has a wide range of tools. It can provide a comprehensive care in the execution of the main tests to characterize a lot of minerals as quartz sands, feldspar sands, kaolin, clay, olivine and also the simulation of their industrial behaviour. Technological Laboratory also supports Minerali Industriali Engineering in its activities of rejects valorization (ceramic and glass for example).
R&D
Technological Laboratory is permanently engaged in research and development activities for physical and chemical treatment of raw materials and for the identification of potential new materials. Technological Laboratory is able to simulate the industrial behavior of the dressing treatments, supporting Minerali Industriali Engineering’s production. In this way, the laboratory systematically collaborates with external research centres and universities.
