Only the -8mm material is sent to traditional DMS technology. <br />Please feel free to contact me should you have any additional questions you would like me to answer.<br /><br />Regards<br />GHM<br />Geoffrey Madderson - Tomra Diamond Segment Championhttps://www.tomra.com/en/solutions-and-products/sorting-solutions/mining/segments/gemstone-sorting/diamonds/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908362959739425575.post-29725705390046495902015-12-01T12:54:35.100+00:002015-12-01T12:54:35.100+00:00Thanks for the update Mike.

Initial comments b...Yes, quite extraordinary Barry. Initial comments by William Lamb (CEO) after the "win" was, "that it had not really sunk in yet". The new diamond flowsheet is extraordinary as it uses an AG mill from which very large pebble/diamonds (-60+32 mm) are temporarily removed from the circuit and sent to the TOMRA "large diamond" x-ray sorter. After THE LARGE DIAMOND was recovered, the pebbles are sent back again to the crusher and/or the mill. The -32 mm fraction emerging from the mill discharge screen undersize is sent to conventional heavy medium separation. The TOMRA sorting unit does not replace the HMS as reported here. Never-the-less it is innovation inspired by Lucara Diamonds and has set a new path for diamond processing. Well done all.Mike Danielnoreply@blogger.com
