OPTIFLUX in a copper mine

Device: OPTIFLUX
Client: Collahuasi mine
Industry: Mining
Plant / Location: Collahuasi
Country: Chile
Product: copper slurry, water


Application
Chile is known for its huge resources of copper. The mines produce 27% of the copper needed worldwide. KROHNE electro-magnetic flowmeters are used in several applications.

Problem
KROHNE OPTIFLUX is installed for water measurement. The most demanding application is the measurement of copper slurry, though. Copper slurry is highly abrasive.

Solution
OPTIFLUX is available with a number of liners which are able to resist harshest operating conditions. For example, KROHNE can deliver rubber, plastics or ceramics liners.
