Flow Control • Launders and Distributors

launders and slurry distributors that keep flow balanced and recovery high

Songatech supplies launders and slurry distributors engineered to split flow evenly and cut turbulence. Balanced feed into cyclones, screens, and flotation cells lifts efficiency and protects equipment from uneven wear.

Key facts

  • Applications: Cyclone feed distribution, flotation launders, concentrate and tailings launders, splitter boxes
  • Materials: Mild steel, stainless steel, rubber-lined steel, ceramic and PU lined
  • Sizes: Custom designed to match flow rate and outlet count
  • Flow rates: 50 m³/h to over 5 000 m³/h
  • Fixings: Flanged, spigot, or flexible hose connections
  • Designs: Manual, fixed, or automated adjustable splitters

Overview

Uneven feed hurts recovery and accelerates wear. Songatech designs launders and distributors that balance flow across parallel lines, reduce turbulence, and give long service under abrasive slurry duty.

Balanced distribution Wear resistant Custom fit

Benefits

  • Even distribution across multiple lines for consistent performance
  • Robust construction for abrasive slurries
  • Custom designed to the plant flow sheet and duty
  • Replaceable liners for extended service life
  • Easy maintenance with accessible inspection points

Slurry Distributors (Splitter Boxes)

Direct slurry from a single feed into multiple outlets with either fixed or adjustable splits. Rubber or ceramic lining for wear control.

Cyclone feed

Flotation Launders

Designed for froth collection and concentrate discharge. Stainless or lined steel with smooth internal surfaces to limit turbulence.

Froth handling

Concentrate and Tailings Launders

Square, round, or custom profiles for product and waste transfer. Lined with PU, ceramic, or rubber for longer life.

Product and tailings

Custom Launders

Engineered to fit layout, elevation, and tie-in points. Built for specific equipment such as cyclone clusters or screens.

Built to drawing

Quality assurance

  • Flow modelling and CFD where required
  • Material hardness and lining thickness checks
  • Dimensional accuracy and flange alignment verification
  • QA and fabrication certificates supplied

Frequently asked questions

DistributionWhy is even distribution important
Uneven flow reduces cyclone efficiency, increases wear, and lowers recovery. Balanced feed keeps each line at design capacity.
RetrofitCan launders be retrofitted into my plant
Yes. Units are fabricated to match existing pipework, flange sizes, and space constraints for a clean tie-in.
LiningWhat lining should be used
Rubber for general abrasion, ceramic for severe wear, and PU where material is sticky or mildly corrosive.

Note. Final design depends on flow rates, slurry properties, and equipment layout.

Selection guide

Cyclone feed distributionHigh solids slurry

System: Slurry distributor or splitter box. Lining: Rubber or ceramic. Ensures balanced flow into parallel cyclone banks.

Flotation concentrateFroth and concentrate

System: Flotation launder. Lining: Stainless steel. Smooth flow for froth handling and clean discharge.

Tailings handlingLarge volumes

System: Tailings launder. Lining: PU or rubber. Resists abrasion and corrosion in coarse and fine mixes.

Product streamsFinal concentrate

System: Custom launder. Lining: Ceramic. High wear protection for long service in critical lines.

Retrofits and expansionsMixed duties

System: Custom fabricated launders. Lining: Duty specific. Built to match layout and existing connections.

Packing and delivery
