How We Produce
High-Quality Magnesia Products
OUR OPERATIONS
Mining Activity
Terna Mag exploits two large magnesite deposits of high purity cryptocrystalline magnesite in Gerorema and Kakavos area. Exploration continues for identification and confirmation of new reserves.
Welcome to Terna Mag, a leading mining company with significant operations in Northern Euboea.
With extensive experience in the industry, we are committed to the sustainable extraction and processing of cryptocrystalline magnesite, ensuring high-quality products while maintaining strict environmental and safety standards.
Beneficiation Process
The extracted magnesite (Run Of Mine) from these deposits undergoes a series of beneficiation processes on-site at Gerorema and Kakavos.
Initially, the magnesite is crushed, screened/washed, and classified. Subsequent sorting by magnetic and optical sorters, as well as manual hand-picking, ensures the removal of impurities and the selection of high-purity material to meet our rigorous product standards.
Beneficiation capabilities have been recently advanced by installing the state-of-the-art XRT equipment supplied by TOMRA Sorting GmbH. The X-ray transmission technology enables materials to be recognized and separated based on their specific atomic density. It is based on a planar projection of X-ray attenuation of single particles in a stream.
This technology makes it possible to obtain a high separation performance in sorting magnesite irrespective of size, moisture, dust or dirt on a surface. By empowering the OBTAIN™ software, which exploits artificial neural networks and Deep Learning approach, data precision and sorting efficiency is further enhanced. The machine can be quickly optimized for the required sorting tasks by the selection of sorting programs and sensitivity adjustments.
INDUSTRIAL PROCESSING
Production Equipment and Capacity
With our industry leading technology, we ensure the quality and uniformity of the final products in a sustainable manner complying with strict environmental health and safety standards.
MULTIPLE HEARTH FURNACE (HERRESHOFF)
