LeachFlow™ PR
Pressure-Regulated Dripline for Copper Heap Leaching
LeachFlow™ PR is a pressure-Regulated dripline designed for uniform solution distribution in copper heap leaching operations.
Engineered for harsh mining environments, LeachFlow™ PR delivers stable discharge across long laterals and varying heap slopes, supporting efficient and consistent leaching performance across the pad.
Metzer’s LeachFlow™ PR is the only PR leach line in the market suitable for sulfuric-acid heap leaching environments, commonly used in copper extraction. Its unique and innovative design provides copper mine operators with a cost-effective, resilient solution for demanding acidic leaching conditions.
