Multotec recently optimised spiral concentrators at a mineral sands processing plant in Mozambique to counter the decrease in material head grade the plant was experiencing. Operators at the spiral plant had to close the sliding splitters completely, or open them very conservatively, in order to minimise product contamination.
ALICOCO Gravity mineral processing Equipments, spiral concentrator, is our company has developed a successful international advanced level of patent new equipment, respectively, used to select the size of 2.0 mm ~ 0.02 mm grain size range of Iron, Tin, Tungsten, Scheelite, Tantalum / Niobium, Gold, Coal, Ilmenite, Monazite, Rutile, Zircon, Quartz sand, Barite, …
However, more recently, there has been a resurgence of interest in gravity separation, especially in utilizing its low cost to improve the economics of high tonnage and/or low grade operations. New designs of spiral concentrators which are easy to implement and require minimal supervision whilst providing a high degree of separation have aided ...

Multotec has designed and optimised both single (SX4) and double stage (MX7 and SX7) Coal Spiral Concentrators to treat a size range of 2.0 to 0.1 mm. ... Spiral Test Plants. Multotec's heavy mineral spiral test units are ...
A test programme carried out at a chromite plant processing UG2 flotation tailing at a site on the eastern limb of the Bushveld Complex in South Africa showed that online control of the spiral plant concentrate grade using this technique is feasible. Keywords: spiral concentrator, optimization, online control, grade-recovery tradeoff.
Multotec is a leading designer and manufacturer of spiral concentrators. HX High Capacity Mineral Spiral Concentrators • 1 000 mm in diameter • 2.5 turn, 3 turn and 5 turn units • Tonnage rating per start from 4 to 7 tph, depending on mineral type • Ideal for treatment of fine- and low-grade ore, where large tonnages are processed
This study focuses on examining the separation performance of spirals employed in a classified fine-sized (− 200 + 2 5 µm) chromite ore. Dwindling global reserves of high-grade chromium ores and dispersing minerals in the form of fine particles make it attractive to find alternative and efficient methods for enriching these minerals in an economically as well as …
Gravity separation technology plays a pivotal role in mineral processing plants, offering an efficient and environmentally friendly method for separating valuable minerals from gangue materials based on their density differences. This technology utilizes the gravitational forces acting on particles to achieve separation, making it particularly effective for processing …
ratio (ratio between headfeed grade of heavy minerals and concentrate grade). Therefore, as with most gravity concentrators, a multi-pass flowsheet is often required to achieve the desired grade and recovery of heavy minerals. Feed Distribution In plant operation, it is important to maintain a consistent feed rate to the spiral concentrators. The
The decreasing grade of chromium-ore bodies and difficulties in identifying new high-grade deposits highlight the significance of processing fine, low-grade ores. This review assesses all chromite beneficiation methods, along with a detailed examination of spiral concentrators, which is used as a conventional method for chromite processing.
Experiments were carried out using a spiral concentrator test rig containing feed conditioner, centrifugal pump and a spiral concentrator with feed to spiral and recirculation. Time samples of concentrate and tails were collected, weighed, dried analysed. Regression equations were developed for Concentrate yield, grade and percent recovery of iron values using Box …
Spiral classifier is widely used in mineral processing plants with a ball mill as a closed-circuit circuit to separate the flow of ore sand, or used in gravity concentrators to grade ore sand and fine mud, and metal beneficiation processes to grade the size of ore pulp and washing operations in the desliming hopper, dehydration and other ...
Northern Chrome Producers has seen a 6% increase of additional yield in plant recoveries since they retrofitted Multotec's HX3 and HX5 mineral spiral concentrators in February 2015. Each of these mineral spiral concentrators, part of Multotec's gravity concentration equipment within its range of mineral processing equipment, have feed ...
Heavy minerals plants, explains Ramotsabi, comprise four stages of spirals and are capable of processing up to 20 tonnes (t) of dry solids per hour in the feed to the spirals. The coal test plants comprise double-stage MX7 and SX7 spirals, and are capable of processing up to 40 t of coal per hour to the spirals.
Our gravity separators for heavy mineral applications, including iron ore, chrome, mineral sandsand other high density minerals, separate particles in the size range 2 to 0.04 mm. We have a range of spirals, from 3 to 12 turns, with high-, medium- and low-gradient profiles. Our high capacity spirals (the HX series) provide a per …
