The Transmin Mineral Processing Icon Library

The custom mineral processing icons we use in these tutorials have an interesting origin story that exemplifies the spirit of collaboration in our industry. These icons were developed by Transmin Metallurgical Consultants (www.transmin.com), a leading mineral processing consulting company with offices in Peru and the UK.

Transmin uses these icons extensively in yEd for creating flowsheets for reports and presentations. The simplicity and clarity of the icons make complex processes more understandable, enhancing communication with clients and within project teams.

For more formal engineering studies and detailed design work, Transmin incorporates these icons into Microsoft Visio. This allows them to create professional-grade Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs) and Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) that meet industry standards while maintaining visual consistency with their conceptual flowsheets.

Transmin made the decision to share these icons freely with the broader mineral processing community. They recognized that standardized, high-quality icons could benefit the entire industry by improving communication and understanding across companies and projects.

As you use these icons in your own work, remember the spirit of collaboration and knowledge-sharing that they represent.
