Ultra High Density DMS Plants for Iron Ore
Modular Ultra High Density (UHDMS) plants that turn low-grade ore, fines and tailings into saleable product, designed, fabricated and commissioned by Red Dune in South Africa.
- Ultra High Density DMS for low-grade iron ore
- Modular plants, fast to install
- Design, fabrication, commissioning and O&M
A modular iron ore heavy medium plant designed and built by Red Dune.
Higher grade, more value, faster start
Ore below export grade
Ultra High Density DMS separates waste from iron-bearing material at higher densities than conventional DMS, lifting your Fe grade to a saleable spec.
Value sitting in tailings and dumps
Reprocess stockpiles and tailings into product, often with lower mining cost than new ore.
Big plant, big capex, slow start
Modular plants start smaller, install fast and expand as your resource and cash flow grow.

Frequently asked questions
It is dense medium separation run at much higher medium densities than conventional DMS. That lets it split iron-rich material from waste that is too close in density for a standard plant, so lower-grade ore, fines and tailings can be upgraded to saleable product.
Often, yes. Where the waste and iron-bearing particles differ in density, DMS can lift the grade to a saleable spec. A float-sink test on your sample confirms it before you invest.
Yes. Many operations recover saleable product from tailings and dumps with a modular DMS plant sized to the material.
We size each plant to your resource and can design for expansion, so you can start smaller and add capacity later.
Yes. Our modular plants are designed to be shipped and assembled on sites anywhere in the world, including remote locations.
