Spiral Chute Overview
A spiral chute is a gravity separation device that uses the combined effects of water and gravitational friction to separate minerals based on their density. It produces heavy, middling, and light products through this process.
The spiral concentrator is constructed using fiberglass lined with wear-resistant polyurethane and corundum, offering features such as corrosion resistance, rust resistance, and high durability. It is ideal for mining and ore beneficiation, especially in placer mining at coastal areas, riverbanks, sandbanks, and stream banks. The equipment is known for its low water consumption, compact footprint, high concentration and recovery rate, and strong adaptability.
Application of Spiral Chute
This equipment is suitable for processing metal and non-metal ores with significant density differences, such as iron, chromite, pyrite, tin, tungsten, tantalum, niobium, gold, coal, monazite, rutile, and zircon. It can easily handle variations in raw material size, density, grade, and feed volume. The spiral chute is appropriate for processing 0.6–0.03 mm ore and placer, though high mud content may negatively impact separation. Currently, it is widely used in the treatment of iron ore, tungsten, tin, niobium-tantalum ores, coastal and riverside placer, and gold ores.
Working Principle of Spiral Chute
1) Install the spiral chute, adjust the vertical line, and secure it properly using timber.2) Pump the ore slurry into the two feeding openings at the top of the spiral chute, and add water to regulate the slurry consistency.
3) The slurry flows down automatically and rotates from the top. Minerals are separated based on specific gravity, grain size, and shape under the influence of rotational flow and centrifugal force.
4) Final concentrate flows into the final ore hopper and is transported via pipe, while the final sand moves to the sand hopper and is conveyed to the sand pond. Remove the sand pump after the process is complete.
Structure of Fiberglass Spiral Chutes
Our spiral chute is a gravity separation device that separates minerals based on their weight using inertial centrifugal force generated during helical motion.
