Testing for Practicality

You send the sample – AKW Equpipment and Process Design defines the process.
The technical laboratory provides a wide range of analytical and testing capabilities to optimize your turnkey-plant and wet mechanical processes.

AKW Equipment and Process Design’s state-of-the-art technical laboratory is equipped with all essential equipment and process units, able to execute and simulate all major steps of wet mechanical processes. Tests can be carried out with or without the customer, in the lab or onsite.

Our Lab Scale/ Pilot Scale Tests capabilities include

  • Scrubbing
  • Classifying
  • Sorting
  • Solid and liquid separation
  • Gravimetric separation
  • Magnetic separation
  • Thickening
  • Dewatering

Characterizing ores and minerals or optimizing development and definition of your specific wet mechanical process: our state-of-the-art technical laboratory is available and capable to perform a wide range of analysis.

Specific analysis (XRD, melting tests) are available on request and can be carried out in close cooperation with our partner laboratories.


The analytical capabilities contain

  • Determination of solid content and slurry densities
  • Determination of physical and chemical properties
  • Digital microscopy
  • L.O.I. (Loss On Ignition)
  • Screening and laser granulometry particle size analysis
  • Chemical analysis (XRF)

Let’s start testing!
