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. Our systems are specifically designed to split flow evenly across multiple lines while cutting turbulence, which protects your cyclones, flotation cells, and screens from uneven wear. On this page, we explain our custom-designed distribution systems and our supply capabilities across the industrial landscape of South Africa.

High-Performance Flow Control Catalogue

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.

Quality Assurance and Plant Efficiency

Songatech provides units that are ready for immediate installation, reducing on-site downtime.

  • Balanced Feed: Even distribution ensures that each parallel line in your plant operates at its design capacity, lifting overall efficiency.

  • Wear Resistance: We use replaceable liners tailored to your slurry properties—rubber for general abrasion, ceramic for severe wear, and PU for sticky or corrosive materials.

  • Strict QA: Every unit undergoes dimensional accuracy checks and flange alignment verification, with fabrication certificates supplied for all orders.

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.
