Around the World with APT's GoldKacha Concentrator | Ecuador!

We are taking you around the world with the APT GoldKacha Concentrator! The GoldKacha was first introduced to the market in the early 2000's, and has been developed over the years to ensure that it remains at the forefront of technology. It is the one of the most efficient and robust small-scale concentrators available, with thousands of units in operation worldwide.

Pictured below is a GoldKacha Concentrator MK2 in Ecuador, installed around 2011. Since then, many GoldKachas have made their way to locations throughout South America, and we are exceedingly proud of the progress! The GoldKacha is a mercury-free concentrator that is easy to operate, however highly effective, offering enhanced recoveries. APT placed great emphasis on the design of the unit, to ensure that processing is a pleasure for both the miner and their environment. In a region as beautiful as South America, this is a necessity and we are proud to play a role in creating a clean and prosperous future for those in mining.

Gold Recovery and Mercury Remediation from Contaminated Deposits in North Africa

Currently in North Africa, an APT GoldKacha demonstration site has been set up, showing operators how they can recover gold whilst also remediating mercury from existing mercury contaminated feed material. Our distributor stated “The artisanal miners are gobsmacked. Look at all the mercury we also recovered in the GoldKacha from their ore!”

This is excellent news as the dangers of mercury contamination are becoming more widely known, and it is of utmost importance to us that artisanal miners are aware there is a solution that not only recovers gold more effectively, but also removes mercury from the environment during the process.

We look forward to taking the next steps with our clients on the road towards a safer environment with a prosperous future!

A Golden Update from West Africa! | The APT GoldKacha Exceeds Expectations

Recently, we received feedback from one of our customers in West Africa who is using the GoldKacha Concentrator on their small scale mine site. 

Astounding gold recovery was achieved in the unit, without the need for, or the use of, mercury. A huge win for the miners!

The GoldKacha is our centrifugal gravity concentrator, which can handle a capacity of up to 3tph. The unit runs off a 0.75kW electric motor, and requires a small generator and water source for operation. If you’re wanting to process on the larger scale, several units can be nested allowing your operators to treat a greater tonnage of material. Not only is the GoldKacha affordable, but it is also simple to operate and exceptionally robust, meaning no surprise breakdowns and losses in production.

Thank you to our valued client for sharing this impressive feedback with us.

For all enquiries, please contact us by emailing us on info@aptprocessing.com or phoning us on +27 (10) 035 1001, or by clicking here.

Manganese Recovery Plant | Small to Medium Scale Mining

The GK-X | APT's Medium Scale, High Efficiency Concentrator

The APT GK-X Medium Scale, High Efficiency Concentrator outside our Head Office in preparation for shipment to one of our valued clients.

The GK-X is targeted towards medium scale miners, rated for up to 20tph solids feed in a slurry that can range from 30-60% solids. Application is either alluvial, hard rock or tailings and the feed is optimal at -2mm, although -3mm is acceptable and will allow more nugget like gold recovery in alluvial applications.

The APT GoldKacha Concentrator Does it Again with Excellent Mercury-Free Gold Recovery in Sudan

The GoldKacha Concentrator has proven itself as a ‘power plant’ in mercury-free mining. Small to medium scale miners alike incorporate the unit into their process where necessary; whether it be for continuous recovery or exploration purposes. Our client in Sudan is using the GoldKacha on milled material, and the results have been excellent!

Our client reported “The miners are over the moon with the high recovery of the GoldKacha!” and we could not be more proud to hear such great news. We look forward to their continued success.
