Floveyor will once again showcase its expertise at the AusIMM Critical Minerals Conference 2025. This year’s event will run from September 2 to 4 at the Perth Convention & Exhibition Centre, where Floveyor will be welcoming delegates at Stand 63.
This annual conference brings together industry leaders, researchers, and technology providers to tackle the evolving landscape of discovery, development, processing, and downstream manufacturing for critical minerals. The 2025 program promises more than 60 technical presentations, keynote sessions, and interactive panels covering mineral economics, supply chain security, ESG considerations, and the latest technological advancements supporting a circular economy.
Why Floveyor is attending Critical Minerals Conference 2025
Global interest in battery minerals and rare earth elements remains high, although short-term demand fluctuations and market instability continue to challenge the sector. In this dynamic environment, efficient, contamination-free handling remains essential.
Rhys Walker, Managing Director at Floveyor, explains the importance of returning to the conference:
“The Critical Minerals Conference is a great opportunity to connect with those navigating a very different landscape. Today it’s not about chasing perfect solutions, it’s about being smarter with every dollar. Whether it’s greenfield projects rethinking traditional flow sheets, or existing plants looking to optimise, the focus is firmly on efficiency, cost control, and practical innovation.” Rhys said.
“We’re looking forward to sharing how Floveyor’s conveying technology brings sophistication to a sector that’s often relied on blunt tools, helping operators reduce waste, improve consistency, and get more value from every tonne.”
Innovative solutions for critical minerals handling
At Stand 63, Floveyor specialists will be available to discuss practical, proven conveying and bulk handling systems designed for the unique challenges of battery mineral processing. Featured solutions include:
- Aero-mechanical conveyors with FloDisc® Technology —Ideal for transferring fragile, high-value powders such as lithium hydroxide monohydrate and nickel sulphate. Delivers high throughput with minimal product degradation or contamination risk.
- Tubular drag conveyors —Suitable for complex routing requirements in midstream plants, offering fully enclosed transfer with flexible inlet/outlet configurations and low dust emissions.
- Integrated bulk handling systems — Including FIBC unloaders, feeders, and de-lumping equipment tailored to maintain powder flowability and minimise material loss, supporting tighter quality control and lower operating costs.
Solving industry challenges
Floveyor’s conveying and bulk handling systems are engineered to meet the performance and reliability demands of battery mineral processing — especially where uptime, material yield, and product integrity are non-negotiable:
- Preserves powder quality and particle size – Low-impact transfer protects high-value materials from degradation and segregation.
- Fully enclosed, dust-tight systems – Minimises airborne loss, supports better containment, and enables safe handling of reactive or hazardous materials.
- Inert-gas purging capability – Optional feature for materials sensitive to moisture, oxygen, or contamination.
- Non-ferrous and polymer-coated contact surfaces – Reduces risk of metal contamination and supports consistent product purity.
- Low-maintenance, space-efficient designs – Compact, modular systems that reduce plant footprint and operational downtime.
Partnering for sustainable growth
As the critical minerals sector works to build more resilient and commercially viable supply chains, Floveyor’s proven technology gives processors the tools to operate with greater control, consistency, and cost-efficiency. Our focus on contamination-free, energy-efficient conveying helps reduce waste, minimise downtime, and maintain material quality, even in high-pressure production environments.
The AusIMM Critical Minerals Conference 2025 provides a valuable platform to exchange insights and explore smarter ways to tackle processing and material handling challenges. Floveyor specialists will be on hand throughout the event to discuss practical solutions for powder transfer in both greenfield and existing operations.
“Whether you’re working with lithium, rare earths, or battery-active materials, our team understands the pressures operators face today. We’re here to help you optimise what you’ve got, and bring smarter thinking to what’s next,” said Rhys Walker.
