The main gravimetric gold mining equipment is listed below:
- Sluices.
- Jigs.
- Kelsey Centrifuge jig.
- Shaking Tables.
- Humphreys Spirals
- Reichert cones.
- Rounded tables.
- Buckman tables.
- Kelson concentrator.
- Falcon concentrator.
- Mozley Multi Gravity.
- Dual hydrofuge concentrator.
- Vardax concentrator.
- Dredges.
The Mozley Multi Gravity Separator is an enhance gravity device for the separation of fine particles down to one micron in size. The rotating action of the drum provides a high “g” force which pins the heavy particles to the drum surface to be removed via the drum scrapers. The shaking motion combined with the selective use of wash water give an excellent cleaning effect for maximum particle concentration.
The Kelsey Centrifugal Jig, manufactured by Geo Logics, has been in operation since 1990 in major companies such as BHP, Rio Tinto, Anglo American, Richards Bay Minerals, and others. This unique mineral separation and recovery system is patented in over 40 countries and there are more than 20 plants around the world using this equipment.
UK-based Thomas Broadbent has been associated with centrifuge technology since 1864 when its founder created his first centrifugal “Hydro Extractor”. Nowadays, Broadbent is an international supplier with an established network of sales. Improvements to the silicon ceramics used in its extensive range of solids and screen bowl centrifuges played a major part in its successful sales.
It believed that principles of the new generation separators were understood before their advent. New manufacturing techniques such as polyurethane mould injection for the Knelson bowl, advanced material such as ceramics for the continuous Falcon insert, and control systems such as PLC for the self flushing Knelson, have all contributed to making ideas work in difficult mineral processing environments.
