Customer story

World’s top producer of palladium

Customer story

$15 billion in revenue in 2020.

Revenue affected by equipment damage from contaminants. High

maintenance costs and unplanned downtime.

Used magnetic separators for tramp metal, but struggled with non-
metallic objects like plastic and wood.

Couldn’t find off-the-shelf solution, so developed ContamID in-house.

Customer story

“We want to make ContamID accessible to

everyone, because we know how many other
companies struggle with the same contaminant
issues. There’s so much pressure on mines to
maintain uptime and maximise profit. That’s
why we want to help others to achieve the same
results we did.”

Denis Miganov, Innovations Manager at Nornickel
