Songatech is a premier manufacturer of Launders and Slurry Distributors, providing engineered flow control solutions that are essential for maintaining balanced plant feed and high mineral recovery
Uneven feed can hurt recovery rates and accelerate equipment failure. From our facility in Alrode, we provide custom-built units for mining operations in Phalaborwa, Steelpoort, Rustenburg, and the Northern Cape:
-
Slurry Distributors (Splitter Boxes): These direct slurry from a single feed into multiple outlets using fixed or adjustable splits
. They are typically lined with rubber or ceramic for superior wear control . -
Flotation Launders: Engineered for froth collection and concentrate discharge, these units feature smooth internal surfaces to limit turbulence and improve froth handling
. -
Concentrate and Tailings Launders: Available in square, round, or custom profiles, these are lined with PU, ceramic, or rubber to handle the transfer of waste and final product over long periods
. -
Custom Fabricated Launders: We build these to your specific drawing and layout requirements, ensuring they fit your existing plant elevation and tie-in points perfectly
.

Selection Guide for South African Processing Plants
The correct distributor design depends on your solids concentration and equipment layout:
-
Cyclone Feed Banks: We recommend splitter boxes with ceramic linings to ensure balanced flow into parallel cyclone banks
. -
Flotation Circuits: Stainless steel flotation launders provide the smooth flow necessary for efficient froth handling
. -
Tailings Handling: Large-volume tailings launders with PU or rubber linings resist corrosion in coarse and fine waste mixes
. -
Plant Retrofits: Our custom-fabricated units are designed to match your existing pipework and space constraints for a clean tie-in
