TOMRA & K+S pilot rock salt XRT sorting at Zielitz mine

The underground X-ray Transmission (XRT) sorting pilot plant at the Zielitz mine, developed by TOMRA in collaboration with K+S, sets a new benchmark for efficient, sustainable potash mining. The pilot project, which has been running since 2022, has successfully addressed its main objective of removing barren waste underground, with the potential of reducing stockpiling and improving ore grade of hoisted material through the shaft, while enhancing overall operational efficiency. The project is ongoing, exploring ways to optimize the separation performance, increase throughput and implement the new technology into the mine planning process.
