Mining Solutions
Burkerts expertise in enhancing operations
We make ideas flow.
At Burkert, we are committed to supporting the mining industry with responsible and sustainable resource extraction and processing. With a team of experienced professionals and our cutting-edge equipment, we strive to meet the world's growing demand for minerals while helping mines minimise their environmental impact.
Thickeners. Thickener application to concentrate mineral slurries prior to extraction of commodities. It creates a liquid free of solids for subsequent extraction of dissolved metals, washes contaminants from mineral solids, and thickens waste slurries for disposal.
Type 8792 Digital electropneumatic positioner SideControl

Tailings Treatment. Tailings treatment using cyanide destruction and toxicity reduction helps to process the left-over materials from the mined ore. They consist of ground rock, unrecoverable and uneconomic metals, chemicals, organic matter and effluent from the process used to extract the desired products from the ore.
Type 2380 2/2-way Bellow Control Valve
• Electro pneumatically operated process valve
• Single-acting advanced PTFE bellows providing media separation
• Fail safe mode

Type 8802 ELEMENT continuous control valve systems
• Integrated automation with leading technology
• High service life and maintenance-free operation
• Excellent control characteristics, especially for angle seat and globe valve
• Position controller and process controller available
Control cabinets. In Australian mining, control cabinets are crucial for efficient, safe, and compliant operations. They leverage advanced technologies to optimise performance, enhance productivity, and ensure top-tier safety and environmental standards.
Burkert Air Cabinet Solutions
Ethernet version with Type 8652 AirLINE – the valve island optimised for process automation
• Safety-related shut-off of valves possible
• Easy diagnostics via LC display
• Process reliability through pneumatic functions
• Optimised for installation at the bottom of the control cabinet
• EX-Versions: ATEX / IECEx Zone 2, cURus Haz. Loc. CL I, II, III Div 2
Type 6519 Servo-assisted 3/2, 5/2 or 5/3-way solenoid valve for pneumatics
• High flow-rate capacity
• Reduced power consumption
• Single or manifold mounting
• Standard, Ex mb, Ex eb mb and Ex ia versions
• Threaded port G 1/4”, NPT 1/4” and NAMUR flange
Sump Level Control. Reliably monitor the level in the sumps around a process plant to prevent overfilling and subsequent pollution or pump overload.
Type 8804 Butterfly/Ball valve with electric actuator
• Accurate end position setting
• High flow values
• High medium pressures
• Long lifetime
• Electric actuators rated IP68
• Modulating/on-off
Dust Suppression. Dust suppression is essential for controlling airborne particles, enhancing safety, visibility, and environmental protection.
Type 5282 Servo-assisted 2/2-way diaphragm valve
• Servo-assisted diaphragm valve up to DN65 orifice
• Separating diaphragm for aggressive and contaminated media
• Closing and opening times can be adjusted individually
• Explosion-proof versions (Cat.2)
• Service-friendly manual override
Crusher Mills. Crusher mills and ball/AG/SAG grinding mills, break down large rocks into smaller, manageable sizes. They play a vital role in the ore processing chain, facilitating the extraction of valuable minerals. These mills use mechanical force to grind or crush ore, enabling further downstream processing such as separation and concentration of desired minerals.
Type 8619 multiCELL - Multi-channel and multi-function transmitter/ controller
• Compatible with most common flow, pH/ORP, chlorine and conductivity sensors
• Simple, intuitive user interface with a large adjustable backlit graphics display (4 user defined views)
• Industrial Ethernet (Modbus TCP, PROFINET or EtherNet/IP) option available
• Functionality extendable by software options
Type 5282
Servo-assisted 2/2-way diaphragm valve
