Spiral Separator

The FRP Spiral Seperator is a continuous gravity separation device designed for the classification and concentration of fine minerals. It is typically used for roughing or pre-concentration stages, providing an energy-efficient method to recover heavy minerals before downstream processing. By reducing the load on subsequent equipment, it improves overall process efficiency while maintaining stable and low-cost operation.

【Capacity】: 0.15-10 T/H

【Feeding Size】: 0.02-2 mm

【Application】: chromite, tin, tungsten, tantalum-niobium, gold, coal, monazite, rutile, zircon, and other minerals.

Spiral Separator

Used for concentrating iron ore, ilmenite, chromite, and other heavy minerals, especially in fine particle size ranges where traditional methods are less effective.

Used as a pre-concentration device to remove gangue minerals before flotation or other downstream processes, reducing processing load and improving efficiency.

Applied in placer gold processing and alluvial deposits to recover fine gold and associated heavy minerals in gravity circuits.

Suitable for recovering valuable minerals from tailings, improving overall resource utilization and reducing waste.

Efficient Fine Mineral Separation

In gravity separation processes, fine particle recovery is often limited by insufficient sensitivity of conventional equipment and the high operating cost of mechanically driven systems. These challenges can result in lower recovery rates and unstable downstream performance.

The spiral seprator addresses this by utilizing the combined effects of gravity, centrifugal force, and slurry flow to gradually stratify and separate particles based on density. This process operates continuously without external power, making it inherently stable and energy-efficient.

Its core value lies in providing effective pre-concentration of heavy minerals while minimizing operating cost and system complexity. By reducing the load on downstream processes such as flotation or magnetic separation, the spiral chute improves overall plant efficiency and process stability.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ for Spiral Separator

A spiral separator operates based on the combined action of gravity, centrifugal force, and slurry flow. As the slurry flows downward along the spiral surface, particles gradually separate according to density and size. Heavier minerals move toward the inner part of the spiral, while lighter materials are carried outward by the flow. This continuous stratification and separation process enables effective gravity concentration of fine minerals without the need for external power.
Yes. In many gravity concentration flowsheets, the spiral separator is used for pre-concentration, followed by a shaking table for final upgrading. This arrangement allows coarse separation to be completed at low cost, while the shaking table focuses on fine and precise separation, resulting in improved recovery and better concentrate grade.
