Multi-stage modular process trains

Complete modular process trains from integrated package modules

Combine crushing, screening, wash, DMS, gravity, dewatering and water supply modules into a coherent multi-stage train — with clearer interfaces, staged expansion and package-oriented commercial scope.

How combination trains work

Individual modular packages, designed as one coherent flowsheet

A combination modular process train is not a random collection of equipment. It is a multi-stage plant where proven package types — crushing, screening, wash, DMS, gravity, dewatering, water supply and related modules — are selected, sequenced and interfaced so material flows cleanly from feed to product.

Each stage retains modular package advantages (clearer scope, workshop-focused fabrication, faster establishment) while the overall train is engineered as a single commercial and technical delivery — reducing the gaps that appear when packages are bought separately and “joined on site”.

Illustrative train patterns

Example multi-stage sequences

Actual trains are always project-specific. These patterns show how modular packages are commonly sequenced — not fixed catalogue flowsheets.

  • Crush → screen → wash → gravity

    Hard-rock or mixed feeds prepared through size reduction and wash stages, then recovered by gravity concentration packages.

  • Crush → screen → DMS → dewater

    Dense media separation trains with defined product and tailings dewatering interfaces for chrome, coal, iron ore and similar duties.

  • Wash → gravity → clean-up

    Alluvial-style trains combining wash preparation with gravity recovery and concentrate finishing where product security matters.

  • Phased multi-commodity trains

    Start with preparation and one recovery stage, then add DMS, gravity or dewatering modules as metallurgy and capital allow.

Why combination trains

Flexibility, staged growth and cleaner interfaces

Multi-stage modular trains suit projects that need a complete process path without committing to a single monolithic stick-built plant from day one.

  • Flowsheet flexibility

    Select only the stages your ore and product require. Re-sequence or omit modules without abandoning a modular delivery model.

  • Staged expansion

    Establish a first train for cash flow or metallurgical proof, then add parallel capacity or extra process stages as the project matures.

  • Reduced interface risk

    Material handling, power, water and control interfaces are defined across the train — not left as gaps between separately bought packages.

  • Package-oriented commercial scope

    Clearer boundaries for what is supplied, how stages connect and what remains site scope — supporting more predictable cost and programme.

How we keep multi-stage trains practical

  • One process intent

    Feed characteristics, cut points and product specs drive which modules are included and how they are sequenced.

  • Defined module boundaries

    Each package keeps lift, transport and installation clarity while the train shares a coherent layout philosophy.

  • Operable handovers

    Surge capacity, access and maintenance routes are considered across stages so the plant can be run and serviced as a whole.
