At Electra Mining Africa 2026, Mixtec will demonstrate how intelligent agitation design is helping mineral processors improve recoveries, reduce energy consumption and optimise plant performance across some of the world's most demanding battery mineral applications.

With more than 40 years of experience and over 65,000 installations worldwide, Mixtec has established itself as a trusted partner to the mining industry, supplying customised agitation solutions for lithium, nickel, cobalt, graphite, manganese, rare earth elements (REEs), copper and other critical minerals essential to the global energy transition.

Visitors to Stand B32 (Blue Zone) will experience Mixtec's SX (Solvent Extraction) Mixer, showcasing the technology behind one of the most critical stages in modern hydrometallurgical processing. Designed to deliver excellent phase contact, controlled mixing intensity and reliable long-term performance, Mixtec's SX Mixers are engineered to maximise extraction efficiency while minimising maintenance requirements. The technology has been successfully applied across numerous battery mineral solvent extraction circuits worldwide.

As investment in battery minerals continues to reshape the mining industry, hydrometallurgical processing has become increasingly important. Mixtec's agitation technology supports key process stages including leaching, neutralisation, precipitation, crystallisation, reagent preparation and solvent extraction, providing application-specific solutions that improve process reliability and plant efficiency.

Rather than offering standardised equipment, every Mixtec agitator is designed specifically for the client's process conditions, taking into account slurry density, viscosity, solids loading, gas dispersion requirements and process objectives. This engineering-led approach ensures every solution delivers optimum mixing performance for its intended application.

"Battery mineral processing presents unique mixing challenges, and there is no universal solution," says Jono Lyndon, Managing Director of Mixtec. "By combining application expertise with advanced impeller and mixer design, we help clients achieve higher process efficiencies, lower energy consumption and more reliable plant performance. Electra Mining is the ideal platform to showcase how smarter agitation design delivers measurable value."

Visitors are invited to meet Mixtec's technical specialists to discuss their process challenges and discover how customised agitation solutions can unlock improvements across mining, hydrometallurgy, battery minerals processing and water treatment applications.
