As an experienced global provider of precious metals recovery equipment, we understand there's no substitute for quality and efficiency in the refinery. We provide a variety of high-class refining products, making it simpler to turn gold and silver concentrates, sludge, and precipitates into doré.
Our refinery solutions are quick to install and easy to operate/maintain. FLS equipment is delivered pre-assembled/tested and skid mounted (where applicable), while third-party items are sourced to FLS quality standards. The resulting system will start-up and run with minimal issues.
At FLS, we offer a range of different equipment models, sizes and configurations, ensuring our solution matches your needs. Our equipment and systems are also designed to reduce floorspace requirements and slot into any existing refinery.
We don't just supply refinery equipment. We supply complete system engineering, including refinery circuit sizing, general arrangement, and detailed mechanical engineering for up- and downstream processes, for refinery production up to 15 million oz per year.
Once the gravity concentrate, Merrill Crowe precipitate, or electrowinning sludge has been recovered, it is is dried or (when mercury is present) retorted. Smelting then separates the gangue from the gold and silver, which is poured into moulds to produce saleable doré bars.
We supply electric induction or fuel-fired (gas, diesel) furnaces for smelting gold and silver concentrate.
Safely recover mercury from precious metal concentrate, precipitate, or sludge. Our mercury retorts are available in sizes from 10ft3 to 40ft3, with barrel- or cabinet-style ovens, and a range of external fuel or internal electric heating options.
Available in a range of sizes, our flux mixers ensure thorough mixing of flux and dried concentrate, while our furnace feed conveyors deliver controlled feeding into the smelting furnace. Single and dual furnace feeding is available.
We offer cartridge filters, baghouses, and wet scrubbers for particulate and gas removal, and mercury abatement systems for effective removal of mercury from smelt furnace stack gas and ventilation systems.
We offer slag pots and carts, 3500 oz and 5000 oz silver moulds, 1000 oz gold moulds, mould stands, and slag crushing and separating equipment.
Our aftermarket department offers reliable and timely supply of spares and wear parts, ensuring minimal downtime and optimal equipment performance. Our specialists are also readily available to provide ongoing operational support. Whether it’s technical advice, troubleshooting or circuit optimization, we work closely with mine site teams to ensure the longevity and efficiency of the equipment throughout its lifecycle. Additionally, we offer comprehensive support services, including circuit audits, preventive maintenance programs, training for mine operators and maintenance personnel, and detailed reporting on equipment performance. Our goal is to help maximise recovery, minimise downtime, and ensure the safe and efficient operation of your FLS systems and equipment.
