Ore processing (Mekanism)

Mekanism provides 4 tiers of systems to process ores and to obtain 2, 3, 4, or 5 ingots out of 1 ore. The complexity of the systems rises with each tier and at the higher tiers various secondary machines are required to produce consumables for the main ore-processing line.

The following page shows the layout of these systems as well as some in-game pictures and descriptions. Furthermore, all machines are only mentioned in their basic version—the advanced, elite and ultimate variants only change the amount produced.

Tier 1

The tier 1 system only requires 2 machines and a power supply (e.g., via wind or Heat Generators. The machines can be placed side by side to directly transfer products into the next machine and save transport pipes.

↓ 1x Ore

Enrichment Chamber

↓ 2x Dust

Energized Smelter

↓ 2x Ingot

Tier 2

↓ 1x Ore
Purification Chamber	← Oxygen	Electrolytic Separator ← Water
↓ 3x Clump		↓ Hydrogen

  A separate line for the production of oxygen (needed by the Purification Chamber). In the middle a Electrolytic Separator is supplied with Water by a Electric Pump on the right.

Tier 3

Chemical Injection Chamber	← Salt or Hydrogen Chloride	← Salt			↑ Oxygen
		← Hydrogen Chloride	Chemical Infuser	← Hydrogen	Electrolytic Separator	← Water
				← Chlorine	Electrolytic Separator	← Brine	Thermal Evaporation Plant	← Water
↓ 4x Shard					↓ Sodium
