The U.S. mining and minerals industry remains a cornerstone of modern manufacturing, supplying the raw materials that power industries worldwide. From copper, gold, and lithium to aggregates, industrial minerals, and rare earth elements, mining operations demand durable, high-spec equipment capable of handling abrasive slurries, corrosive fluids, extreme pressures, and high temperatures.
Harris Thermal has decades of experience fabricating ASME-code pressure vessels, heat exchangers, autoclaves, and process equipment that support critical applications across the mining and minerals sector. Our engineered solutions are designed for reliability, long service life, and performance in the toughest environments.
Our Equipment for Mining and Minerals
Slurry and Process Cooling
