Mining & Industrial Minerals
Processing equipment, project coordination and qualified supply programmes for industrial mineral producers and the process plants that depend on them.
How we help
How MINCAT works with mining & minerals clients
We help mining and industrial-minerals companies source crushing, grinding and processing equipment and place qualified minerals and materials with international buyers and producers.
Industrial minerals — magnesite, brucite, phosphate rock, limestone, dolomite, potash and others — link mining to the chemical, fertilizer, steel and cement industries. Producers need reliable crushing, screening, grinding, calcining and beneficiation equipment; consumers need consistent, specified material delivered on time.
MINCAT works on both sides of that link. For mineral producers and processors, we source and qualify equipment and coordinate engineering partners for new or expanded processing lines. For industrial consumers, we structure qualified supply programmes for magnesite, brucite, phosphate rock and other minerals with agreed specifications, independent analysis and logistics coordination. Magnesite and brucite are part of MINCAT's priority launch scope.
Typical requirements
Requirements we regularly receive from this industry
- Equipment sourcing for a new or expanded crushing, screening or calcining line
- Engineering partner identification for a mineral-processing plant
- Long-term magnesite or brucite supply programme for a refractory, chemical or agricultural user
- Phosphate rock supply for a fertilizer complex with quality control
- Alternative-origin qualification for security of supply
- Wear-part and spares programme for processing equipment

Technologies, equipment, catalysts and materials that typically matter
An orientation, not a catalogue. Specifications vary by technology, licensor and manufacturer; every item is scoped against your plant's data.
Process technologies
- Crushing, screening and grinding circuits
- Calcination and dead-burning (rotary and shaft kilns)
- Beneficiation and flotation
- Drying, classification and bagging
- Dust control and emission abatement
- Water and tailings management
Equipment
- Crushers, screens and mills
- Rotary and vertical kilns
- Conveyors and stackers
- Dryers, coolers and classifiers
- Dust collectors and scrubbers
- Pumps, cyclones and thickeners
- Weighing, bagging and loading systems
Catalysts & materials
- Magnesite (raw, caustic calcined, dead-burned)
- Brucite
- Phosphate rock
- Limestone and dolomite
- Potash
- Refractory grade minerals
- Grinding media and wear parts
Technical considerations
What usually decides the outcome in mining & minerals
Deposit characteristics define the product
Grade, impurities and variability come from the geology; qualification must look at the deposit and the processing control, not one sample.
Wear and availability drive equipment cost
Abrasive duty makes wear-part supply and service capability as important as initial equipment price.
Logistics shape the supply programme
Bulk handling, moisture, port capability and inland freight are planned with the specification.
MINCAT's role and scope
What we do for mining & minerals clients
Engineering, manufacture, construction and commissioning are delivered by qualified partners under their own contracts. MINCAT coordinates on your side within an agreed scope.
Coordination, evaluation and support
- Processing equipment manufacturer identification and qualification
- Engineering and EPC partner identification for processing plants
- Supplier qualification, sampling and independent analysis coordination for mineral supply
- Supply programme structuring and logistics coordination
How engagements are structured
- Multi-year supply programmes with quality bands give producers and consumers a stable basis.
- Delivered-and-qualified cost, including inspection and freight, is the comparison basis.
- Fees are agreed in advance and are independent of which technology, supplier or contractor is selected.
