For professionals in the crushing, sand-making, and aggregate industry, acquiring high-performance diamond mining equipment can be capital-intensive. Rent-to-own programs offer a flexible pathway to ownership while maintaining operational efficiency. This article explores core equipment options, technical specifications, and real-world applications tailored for diamond mining operations.
Diamond mining requires robust machinery capable of handling hard rock and alluvial deposits. Key rent-to-own equipment includes:
1. Primary Jaw Crushers
– Model Example: JXT-50
– Feed Capacity: 500 TPH
– Max Feed Size: 30″ (760mm)
– Power: 300 HP (224 kW)
2. Cone Crushers for Secondary Crushing
– Model Example: CXT-200
– Output Range: 150–250 TPH
– Closed-Side Setting: 3/8″–2″ (10–50mm)
3. DMS (Dense Media Separation) Plants
– Capacity: 50–100 TPH
– Recovery Rate: 98% for diamonds >1mm
4. Scrubbers & Trommels
– Model Example: STM-100
– Processing Capacity: 200 TPH
– Drum Diameter: 10′ (3m)
Rent-to-own agreements provide access to cutting-edge technology with gradual ownership transition. Benefits include:
– Low Upfront Costs: Avoid large CAPEX with phased payments tied to production output.
– Maintenance Inclusion: Most programs cover servicing and parts during the rental period.
– Upgrade Flexibility: Swap outdated models for newer versions without penalties.
A mid-tier operator leased a modular DMS plant and trommel scrubber under a 36-month rent-to-own contract. Results included:
– Throughput: Increased from 80 TPH to 120 TPH after optimization.
– Recovery Rate: Achieved 96% diamond recovery (>0.5mm).
– Cost Savings: Reduced per-ton processing costs by 22% versus outsourcing
