Background
A mining company in Honduras, Central America, needed to sort antimony ore into three grades.
The company originally didn't sell the ore by grade, failing to meet market demand because manual sorting was impossible.
Use DRX intelligent mineral sorting equipment for sorting tests.
Sorting test
Sample arrival: Antimony ore samples received from Honduras on June 4, 2025.
Data acquisition: X-ray images of the antimony ore were obtained on June 6, 2025.
Sample sorting: On June 13, 2025, the DRX intelligent mineral sorting equipment was used to test and the samples were separated into four categories in half an hour.
Sample for chemical testing: Sent to Beijing on June 18, 2025.
Test report: Chemical test analysis reports for the four samples were received on July 28, 2025.
Product grading: Based on the results, three products were selected and sorted: Sample 1 + Sample 2 = Product 1, Sample 3 = Product 2, and Sample 4 = Product 3, which precisely met market demand.

Sorting sample test report
For the antimony ore samples sent by a mining company in Honduras, Central America, we used DRX intelligent mineral sorting equipment to conduct sorting tests. Four categories of samples were sorted according to the density of the antimony ore. After testing, they were merged into three categories just met the production sorting requirements of the company for three grades of products.
