Modular Containerized Mineral Processing Plant

Rapid Deployment • Scalable • Plug-and-Play

The Avimetal Modular Containerized Mineral Processing Plant is a next-generation solution designed to dramatically reduce the time, cost, and complexity of building traditional mineral processing facilities.

Instead of constructing large permanent processing plants that require extensive civil engineering, structural steel fabrication, and long construction schedules, Avimetal integrates processing equipment directly into modular 20-foot container frame units.

These units are delivered ready to install, allowing mining operations to deploy processing capacity quickly and efficiently.

The Challenge with Conventional Processing Plants

Traditional mineral processing plants typically require:

Large structural steel buildings
Extensive civil construction
Long equipment installation periods
Complex engineering coordination
High capital investment before production begins

Building a conventional processing plant may take 12 to 36 months before operations start.

For many mining operations, especially new deposits or remote projects, this long construction timeline creates significant financial and operational risks.

Avimetal’s Modular Containerized Solution

Avimetal solves this challenge with a modular containerized processing system.

Each processing stage is installed inside a 20-foot container frame module, including:

Processing equipment
Piping and valves
Electrical systems
Instrumentation and control
Structural support frames

The modules are factory-assembled, tested, and shipped to the project site ready for installation.

Once delivered, the modules are simply positioned and connected together to form a complete processing plant.

This plug-and-play approach dramatically accelerates plant deployment.

Plug-and-Play Processing Plant

The modular plant operates as a fully integrated processing system where each container module performs a specific function within the processing flow.

Typical modules may include:

Crushing and grinding units
Gravity separation systems
Flotation cells
Thickening and filtration systems
Chemical leaching systems
Electrowinning or recovery modules
Water treatment and recycling

Because each module is pre-assembled and pre-tested, the plant can be installed rapidly with minimal on-site construction.

Key Advantages Rapid Plant Deployment

Modular plants can be installed and operational in a fraction of the time required for conventional processing plants.

This allows mining operations to begin production sooner and generate revenue faster.

Reduced Construction Costs

Factory-built modules eliminate many expensive site construction activities, including:

Large structural steel fabrication
Complex equipment installation
Long on-site labor requirements

This significantly lowers overall capital expenditure.

Scalable Processing Capacity

The modular design allows operators to increase plant capacity simply by adding additional container modules.

Plants can start with smaller capacity and expand as production grows.

Easy Transportation

Container-based modules are designed for standard shipping and logistics, allowing easy transport by:

Truck
Rail
Sea freight

This makes the system ideal for remote mining operations.

Flexible Plant Configuration

Modules can be arranged in multiple configurations depending on:

Ore type
Mineral recovery method
Processing capacity

The plant layout can be customized to meet specific project requirements.

Reduced Engineering Complexity

Because each module is standardized and pre-engineered, the project requires far less engineering coordination compared to conventional plants.

This reduces project risk and simplifies implementation.

Ideal Applications

The Avimetal Modular Processing Plant is particularly suited for:

Remote mining projects
Early-stage mineral deposits
Pilot and demonstration plants
Rapid project deployment
Expansion of existing processing capacity

Future-Ready Processing Infrastructure

With increasing demand for critical minerals, rare earth elements, and precious metals, the mining industry requires faster and more flexible processing solutions.

Avimetal’s modular containerized system provides a modern approach to mineral processing infrastructure, enabling mining companies to deploy efficient processing capacity quickly and scale operations as needed.
