Our work in action
You have to see it to believe it. We’re your go-to diamond sampling consultants and MiDa processing experts in South Africa.
The PMC Data Mine
PMC Process Consultants offers a customizable, server-based database system that streamlines mining data management by replacing fragmented spreadsheets with a secure, organized environment. The platform ensures data accuracy and integrity through features like custom log sheets, built-in calculations, and strict approval workflows. With capabilities for tailored reporting and a rapid three-week implementation, the system provides actionable intelligence and real-time visibility for everyone from operators to investors.
Grease Table Modification – Sierra Leone Diamond Operation
PMC audit and successful modification of grease table at Sierra Leone alluvial diamond operation. Problem-solving approach to grease retention issues improved diamond recovery efficiency.
Du Toit Venter Jig – Before Refurbishment
Initial condition assessment of an old Du Toit Venter jig from an exploration unit before refurbishment. PMC Process Consultants evaluates heavy mineral concentration equipment for diamond processing plant upgrade.
Shift Shaker Drive Mechanism
Technical demonstration of shift shaker drive mechanism showing eccentric shaft motion settings and vibrating bounce operation. Explains how directional motion optimizes separation.
Linear Motion Laboratory Shift Shaker – After Refurbishment
Fully refurbished linear motion laboratory shift shaker demonstrating enhanced performance for diamond exploration applications. Redesigned system accommodates six interchangeable sieves (450mm/350mm) with quick on/off capability for efficient sample processing. Multi-purpose unit handles 20-50kg samples in wet or dry screening modes. VSD-equipped for precise frequency control in heavy mineral concentration work. PMC custom-builds these robust laboratory shakers with one-month fabrication time, serving major exploration companies across Southern Africa.
Du Toit Venter Jig – After Refurbishment (Operational)
Refurbished Du Toit Venter jig in operation showing characteristic jigging motion: vertical pulsation and horizontal underwater movement concentrating heavy particles in bottom centre of pan. PMC-enhanced unit features VSD for frequency control and adjustable amplitude settings, significantly improving separation efficiency over original design. Modified hopper outlets and feeding orifices optimize material flow and processing speed. Medium-volume production equipment for exploration and pilot plant applications. Production time: 2-3 months from order.
Grease Table Installation – Large Kimberlite Diamond Mine
Successful 2025 grease table installation at major Kimberley diamond operation achieving substantial fine fraction recovery from XRay tailings. Client processes material grading up to 500 carats per 100 tons using this underutilized recovery technology. PMC demonstrates grease tables as effective scavenger systems on fine tailings, delivering ROI within one month of operation. Despite declining perception since the 1970s, grease technology remains highly effective for diamond recovery. Custom fabrication: two-month production timeline.
Karee Vlei Diamond Plant – 200 TPH Kimberlite Processing
Complete 200 ton-per-hour diamond processing plant design and construction at Karee Vlei mine, Northern Cape, South Africa. PMC-led project involved full process design, component fabrication, and 6+ month installation.
