Mineral Processing Machines & System Theory
Mineral Processing Machines System Theory is an integrated engineering framework developed by Avimetal Inc. that redefines modern mineral processing through modular containerized plants, advanced dry separation technologies, intelligent recovery systems, and environmentally responsible refining methods. The system is designed to recover valuable metals more efficiently from ores, tailings, slag, and complex mineral resources while reducing […]
Modular 5N Silver Processing Plant in a 40ft Container
Advanced Cyclone ER/EW Technology for Compact High-Purity Silver Refining The demand for ultra-high-purity silver continues to increase across electronics, photovoltaics, aerospace, semiconductors, defense systems, and advanced energy storage. Traditional refinery infrastructure often requires large industrial buildings, complex ventilation systems, and permanent installations that reduce deployment flexibility and increase capital cost. To address these challenges, a […]
Containerized Hybrid Induction–Plasma Smelting System: A Plug-and-Play Solution for Modular Metal Recovery
The Hybrid Induction–Indirect Plasma Powder Smelting System is designed as a containerized, plug-and-play solution, enabling rapid deployment and flexible operation without the need for large-scale smelter infrastructure. Built within standard shipping containers, the system integrates six indirect plasma torches (80 kW each, totaling 480 kW), a 480 kW induction furnace, a cone-type water-cooled condenser, and […]
Anesidora Enterprises Plans Eastern U.S. Hybrid Plasma Smelting Hub in Renovo, Pennsylvania
Anesidora Enterprises, LLC is preparing to transform the former WT Storey industrial building in Renovo, Pennsylvania into one of the largest hybrid plasma smelting and pilot mineral processing facilities in the eastern United States. The project is centered on a historic 150,000-square-foot industrial building that once supported America’s locomotive and steam-engine repair economy. Instead of […]
Four Industrial Methods for Removing Sulfides to Maximize Metal Recovery
In mineral processing, one of the most critical steps before extracting maximum value from ore is the removal of sulfides. Sulfide minerals can trap valuable metals such as gold, silver, and PGMs, making recovery inefficient if not properly treated. To unlock these values, several industrial methods are used—each with its own advantages depending on ore […]
Rethinking Copper Smelting: Unlocking PGMs Through Matte Metallurgy
In traditional copper processing, sulfide ores are treated as a challenge to eliminate. But what if sulfide isn’t a problem—what if it’s the solution? Modern metallurgical thinking is shifting toward controlled matte metallurgy, where sulfide phases are intentionally used as a collector for high-value metals, including gold, silver, and platinum group metals (PGMs). The process […]
Achieving 5N Silver Purity Through Electrorefining (ER)
As industries like aerospace, defense, and advanced electronics continue to evolve, the demand for ultra-high purity silver (5N, 99.999%) is rapidly increasing. Meeting this standard requires more than conventional refining—it requires precision electrochemical control. This is where electrorefining (ER) plays a critical role. The process begins with a raw silver bar, which is melted and […]
From Raw Silver to 5N Purity: How Electrowinning/Electrorefining Delivers Ultra-High Purity Metals
Cyclone Electrowinning System Producing 5N (99.999%) silver is no longer just a refining step—it’s a critical requirement for aerospace, defense, semiconductors, renewable energy systems, and advanced electronics. The process begins with something simple: a raw silver bar. But transforming standard silver into ultra-high purity metal requires a carefully controlled combination of thermal, chemical, and electrochemical […]
Cyclone Electrorefining: Rethinking Metal Recovery Efficiency
In traditional electrorefining, flat plate anodes and cathodes have dominated the industry for decades. While proven, this approach comes with inherent limitations—slow ion transfer, uneven deposition, and inefficient slime management. Today, a new approach is emerging: Cyclone Electrorefining, a system designed to fundamentally improve how metals are refined and recovered. At the core of cyclone […]
Advancing 5N Silver Production for Aerospace: Avimetal & InyoAG Partnership
A significant advancement in high-purity silver production is underway in Darwin, California, where InyoAG LLC is developing one of the most resource-rich underground operations in the region. Spanning approximately 4,000 hectares with over 200 miles of tunnels, the site contains substantial deposits of tungsten, zinc, and notably silver-rich ore, positioning it as a strategic asset […]
