Makurung Process Solutions provides mineral processing engineering, plant optimization, and turnkey EPC solutions to enhance mining efficiency, reduce operational downtime, and maximize mineral recovery for South African mining operations.
Makurung Process Solutions is a specialised mining engineering company focused on delivering technical solutions for mineral processing plants and mining operations across South Africa. We specialise in process optimisation, plant engineering, and EPC project execution.
We operate across South Africa's mining sector, delivering solutions that improve plant performance, mineral recovery, and operational efficiency. Our core expertise spans mining plant optimisation, mineral processing engineering, EPC mining project delivery, and tailings retreatment systems.
Our Engineering division offers a wide range of services, including design, project management and construction management — delivering robust, reliable engineering from concept through to commissioning.
Our Mineral Processing division specialises in providing solutions for the mining industry — gravity concentration, flotation, spiral optimisation and reflux classification, all tuned for peak recovery.
From the gantry to the project office — we close every gap between design intent and plant performance with precision, accountability and deep process knowledge.
A mineral processing plant that cleans, upgrades and recovers chromite ore — washing run-of-mine chrome to remove clay, silica and low-grade fines and separating it into saleable concentrate.

A live look at Makurung teams across South Africa's mining plants — on the platforms, in the plant and on the ground.
Every solution is measured against a simple standard: did it improve efficiency, raise availability and lower operating cost?
We design around the unique mineralogy, infrastructure and operational reality of your specific plant. Nothing is assumed.
BBBEE Level 1 is not a credential we carry for convenience. It reflects how we hire, how we build and who we invest in.
Our relationships with clients deepen after handover. We remain accountable to the performance of what we engineer.
We exist to simplify what is genuinely complex, and to make the best engineering accessible to every operation — regardless of scale or geography.
Chrome, platinum and coal: three commodities at the foundation of modern industry. We bring the same exacting engineering intelligence to each.
Concentration and beneficiation circuits built for consistent, high-grade recovery in South Africa's chrome belt.
Flotation and gravity solutions precision-calibrated for PGM mineralogies to maximise recovery and plant performance.
Cleaner, more efficient coal beneficiation through advanced spiral, reflux and dense-medium classification systems.
Full-circuit engineering, commissioning, and optimisation services for standalone mineral processing plant operations.
Engineering and project management support for large-scale industrial mining operations requiring EPC delivery capability.
Commission a consultation and walk away with a process roadmap engineered precisely around your operation — no generic advice, no wasted time.
Whether you're commissioning a new circuit, troubleshooting an underperforming plant, or scoping a full project — we want to hear from you.

A complete mineral-processing line built to clean, upgrade and recover chromite from run-of-mine ore — turning low-grade material into saleable concentrate.
Think of it as a giant washing and sorting line for chrome rock. Dirty run-of-mine ore enters loaded with clay, silica and fines; clean, high-grade concentrate exits ready for shipment.
