Process Equipment Manufacturing

Process Equipment Manufacturing includes heavy media cyclones, vibrating screens, three-product cyclones, centrifuges, magnetic separators, DM bath, and dry sorting equipment, essential for efficient handling and processing of coal, ensuring high-quality end products. Heavy media cyclones separate coal and rock to produce clean coal, while vibrating screens grade coal and remove impurities nd centrifuges dewater coal fines and slurries.

JFI Consultancy The Consultant Behind the Results John Finlay With over 50 years in the coal industry, John Finlay is one of the most experienced coal washery EPC consultants in the world. His career spans greenfield plant design in Australia through to complex brownfield upgrades across India and China — with 130+ commissioned projects providing the operational data that informs every new engagement. When an HMC cyclone underperforms, a JFI consultant doesn't just log the deviation. They trace it to the root cause — whether it is feed size distribution, SG creep, cyclone wear, or a blocked apex — because they have the engineering background to distinguish between them. That is the difference. 50+ years of continuous coal industry experience across Australia, India, and China Lead consultant on 130+ coal washery EPC projects — thermal and coking coal configurations Deep expertise in HMC, dense media bath, jigging, spirals, flotation, and dry beneficiation circuits Patent-protected heavy media cyclone geometry optimised for Indian high-ash coal characteristics Active projects with CIL, SCCL, BCCL, and private mine-linked washeries across India

John Finlay has over 50 years of experience in the coal industry, involved in 125 Coal Washery EPC Projects as a leading consultant. Our expertise and industry knowledge make us valuable to coal washery projects, delivering results that exceed expectations with our understanding of industry processes.

Engineering Automations

Automations

The application of automations in coal washery has significantly transformed the way coal is processed. It has enabled the industry to operate with minimal intervention, lower costs, and higher precision, ultimately leading to better results and improved efficiency.

Dry Coal Beneficiation

Dry Coal Beneficiation

Dry coal beneficiation is a process that involves the removal of impurities such as mineral matter, ash, and pyrite from coal to improve its quality and increase its economic value, while also reducing its environmental impact.
