The Fillset system consists of two components, a powder, Fillcem and a liquid, Fillgel.
When added to tailings slurry, the components react in stages to form a stiff cemented backfill, the characteristics of which can be designed to suit specific backfilling requirements.
Advantages
- Classification of the tailings is not necessary
- Retention of volume reduces filling time
- Additives are non-flammable and non-toxic
Features
- Slimes and water run-off are reduced
- Reduction in slimes and water run off results in improved conditions in gullies drains and ore-passes
- Little or no shrinkage of the backfill occurs so that no topping up is required, and contact with the hanging wall is more easily maintained
- Fillcem is formulated to have a long life in the backfill pipeline (typically 6-8 hours depending on ambient temperatures). Once mixed with the Fillgel the reaction is very rapid, giving gelation within minutes
Product Options
- Fillcem - 25 kg bags or bulk
- Fillgel - 200 litre drums or bulk
