TOMRA'S laser sorter opens new markets for Mikroman quartz mining operation

Turkish Quartz mining company Mikroman Maden A.Ş, first adopted sensor-based sorting technology at three of its processing plants in 2018. It installed three high-capacity TOMRA PRO Secondary LASER sorters and reached its target of improving product quality and increasing capacity at these facilities.

The collaboration with TOMRA has developed as Mikroman's operation evolved, with the addition of further COLOR and LASER sorters, which now total 18 units across 4 plants.

At its Kula plant in Manisa province, which requires the most precise mineral sorting, it combined TOMRA's COLOR and LASER technologies to achieve the best results and recovery with the highest purity levels, as well as creating product of different quality to meet the specific needs of a variety of markets. The solution has consistently delivered the desired quality standard in all categories, while increasing productivity, and consequently reducing waste.

"Using TOMRA technology has given us the confidence to commit with our customers to deliver a homogeneous and high-quality product," says Ünver Kuşçu, Project Manager at Mikroman.
