Mineral Processing Overview

Mouat’s success as design/build contractors is based on our knowledge of the specific industry’s process and optimizing the flow of materials to minimize capital cost required for construction and operating cost after the project is completed.  This experience in design for material handling applications transcends itself to a number of different industries. 

In addition to the foundry industry, Mouat has been successful in design/build projects in the mineral processing industry including frac sand production, bentonite grinding, barite grinding, and perlite processing.
