In the mining industry, ore pretreatment is a key link in the entire mining and refining process. Among them, the surface of the mined ore usually contains slime or other impurities. However, as a machine specially designed for cleaning and screening ore, the ore washing machine plays an important role in various mineral processing plants. The ore washing equipment mainly improves the purity and quality of the ore by removing the dirt, dust and fine inclusions on the surface of the ore, thereby improving the efficiency of the subsequent ore dressing process and the accuracy of ore dressing. We supply various types of ore washing machines, such as rotary scrubbers, trommel screens, log washers, spiral sand washers, wheel sand washing machines, vibrating screens, etc. These can be customized from small to large ore washing equipment and are often used to wash ore in ore dressing, steel, metallurgy, chemical industry, and building materials.
What is Ore Washing Machine?
Ore washing machines are an industrial equipment specially used for ore cleaning and pretreatment. Its main function is to remove impurities on the surface of ore, such as mud, clay, organic matter, and fine inclusions, to improve the purity and quality of ore. This process can reduce the wear of equipment in the subsequent ore dressing process, improve the ore beneficiation efficiency, increase the recovery rate of precious minerals, and help reduce environmental pollution and energy consumption.
Types of Ore Washing Machines
Multiple Types Ore Washing Machines Supplier
1. Rotary Scrubber
When the material contains a lot of sticky mud or impurities, this rotary scrubber can use the rotating drum to simulate the movement of natural water flow and sand and stone, so that the ore can be cleaned and graded during the rolling process. All materials washed by the drum ore washer can have a mud content of less than 0.5% and a water content of less than 2%. It is widely used for cleaning and screening minerals with large mud content, such as gold, copper, iron, manganese, limestone, tantalum niobium, tin ore, kaolin, phosphate ore, and other mineral processing plant.
Features
- Large feed particle size, large processing capacity, and super ore washing capacity;
- Equipped with an intelligent control system, it can monitor and adjust various parameters in the ore washing process;
- It does not clog, and it has a wide range of application values, whether it is washing various difficult-to-wash large ores or sand and gravel cleaning fields.
2. Trommel screen
The trommel screen is a screening device widely used in industries such as mining, construction, agriculture and environmental protection. It uses one or more rotating cylindrical screens to grade and screen materials. The drum screen can effectively separate material particles of different sizes and shapes, and is an indispensable component in the solid material processing process. At the same time, it also has a high-efficiency screening capacity and can process a large amount of materials continuously and quickly.
Features
- Measures can be taken in the design to reduce dust and noise, and the operating environment is more comfortable;
- Since the screen and structural components are usually made of wear-resistant materials, they have a long service life;
- Depending on the different requirements of the screening materials, screens of different specifications can be replaced, and they are highly adaptable.
3. Log Washer (Trough Ore Washing Machine)
The log washing machine mainly relies on the rotation of two shafts with stirring blades, mainly relying on water flow and gravity to cause the mineral particles to collide and rub against each other, thereby cleaning the surface of the mineral particles. It has the function of cutting and scrubbing materials, and is suitable for processing difficult-to-wash ores that are not too dense, have medium-sized ore blocks and contain a lot of mud.
Features
- The inclined design of the tank allows the ore and water flow to form a good flow state in the tank, effectively removing impurities on the surface of the ore, and achieving a remarkable cleaning effect;
- Equipment costs are low, energy consumption is low, and maintenance and operating costs are relatively low;
- Suitable for cleaning ores of different particle sizes, from coarse sand to fine powder, it has good cleaning effects.
4. spiral sand washer
Spiral sand washer is a kind of equipment used for ore cleaning and grading, which combines the characteristics of traditional trough ore washer and drum screen. The spiral ore washer is used to rotate in the inclined trough body, driving the ore to rise under the flushing of water, and cleaning and grading are carried out according to the difference of particle size and density. In ore mining and processing, spiral ore washing machine is particularly suitable for processing contains less slime or clay materials, including various ores, sand and gravel, etc., to remove mud, organic matter and other impurities. It is suitable for various small to large-scale ore cleaning and grading operations, especially in the cleaning of sand and gravel, building aggregates and non-metallic minerals.
Features
- It is particularly suitable for cleaning materials with high mud content and high viscosity;
- The equipment occupies a relatively small area and is suitable for applications in limited space;
- The inclination angle and rotation speed of the spiral trough can be adjusted to adapt to different materials and processing requirements.
5. Wheel Sand Washer
Wheel sand washing machines are widely used in industries such as construction, engineering, mining and gravel fields. In mineral processing, they are usually used to clean non-metallic minerals, such as kaolin, silica sand, quartz stone, etc. It removes dirt, impurities and other particles from sand and gravel through the combined action of rotating cleaning wheels and water flow, thereby obtaining clean sand and gravel products.
Features
- Usually includes a water tank and a water circulation system to ensure sufficient water and recycled water resources during the cleaning process;
- Simple structure, easy to master, reducing the training requirements and labor intensity of operators;
- Can adapt to the cleaning of materials of various particle sizes, as well as different environments and operating conditions.
Vibrating Screen
Vibrating screen is mainly suitable for processing ores with low mud content and low cohesion. It can clean the ores through the combined action of vibration and flushing water. Vibrating screen or slats are used to make the ore vibrate under the action of water flow to achieve the purpose of cleaning and classification.
Features
- The material can be effectively classified according to the particle size to obtain pure materials of different particle sizes;
- The vibration frequency, inclination angle and water flow intensity can be adjusted to adapt to the characteristics and requirements of different materials;
- The vibrating screen usually has lower equipment investment and operating costs and has a higher cost performance.
Ore washing machines not only improve the accuracy and recovery rate of mineral processing by effectively cleaning and preparing the ore, but also profoundly impact the overall economic benefits and environmental effects of the mineral processing plant. When choosing to use an ore washer, factors such as the physical and chemical properties of the ore, the processing volume requirements, and the final product quality requirements should be considered when selecting the most suitable ore-washing equipment. JXSC supplies the above types of ore washers or other mineral processing equipment. Contact us for customization and get the ex-factory price!
