The spiral classifier, recently, has emerged as the most effective gravity separator since its introduction. The spiral separator also known as spiral concentrator, continues to be the most effective gravity separator, useful in processing a wide variety of minerals such as coal, iron, chromite, gold, zircon and other heavy minerals ores [1, …
Spirals are gravity concentrators used for the concentration of coal, iron oxide ore and heavy minerals. As in any gravity concentrators the separation of minerals in a spiral is based on particle size and specific gravity.
[Show full abstract] presented to illustrate the effectiveness of gravity separation on material below 0.1 mm in size using fine mineral spiral separators. Comparisons are made with data generated ...
Spirals are one of the types of equipment which have been designed and built to effect separation of minerals by gravity. Spiral concentrators are simple low energy consuming devices that separate minerals on the basis of density.
Examples of Spiral Applications Spiral concentrators were originally developed and used in the mineral sands industry to recover minerals such as chromite, rutile, zircon and ilmenite. In the 1960's they …
The data adjustment problem that occurs in the mass balance of a mineral processing plant is outlined. ... of gravity separation on material below 0.1 mm in size using fine mineral spiral ...
Mineral size recovery curves in spirals are calculated using data from two iron ore processing plants. • Recovery of iron carrier particles increase up to 0.2 mm and then decreases due to the Bagnold force. • The decrease of recovery for coarse silica carrier particles is more important than that of iron carrier particles.

Richards and Palmer stated that conventional spirals typically operate within the size range of 1–2 mm down to 75 μm ( Clout, 2013 ). However, in some instances, feed sizes of up to 3 mm have been processed. With improvements in design, finer spirals have been manufactured to separate heavy minerals down to 30 μm.
Our world-leading beneficiation spirals give you confidence in fine coal processing. DOWNLOAD Mineral Technologies' range of MD spirals are the leading spiral of choice for fine coal separation in many Australian coal washeries. Globally, we have spiral installations throughout Africa, Asia, India and the Americas.
Spirals are gravity concentrators used for the valorization of coal and heavy minerals. Coarse hematite iron ores in Canada are usually concentrated by spirals. Spirals classify the...
Spiral §1. 1 Spiral A spiral concentrator uses gravity to separate particles of different densities. It is used globally in the mineral processing industry. It is one of the most effective, low-cost devices for the gravity beneficiation of ores.
Spiral concentrators are capable of sustained recoveries of heavy minerals in the size range of 3 mm down to 75 microns (6 to 200 …
In spirals, which consists of an open trough that twists downward in a helix configuration around a central axis, separation is achieved through a combination of forces that act on particles as...
For processing of sand minerals normally spirals are being used at onshore where the bottom or base of the plant remain stable and, the heavy minerals (grains with specific gravity generally greater than about 2.9) migrate to the inside of the spiral while the …

An array of Mineral Technologies spirals in a mineral sands concentrator. The Queensland, Australia-based com- pany recently completed the world's largest such installation for the Grand Côte project in Senegal, where the floating treatment plant has a feed capacity of 7,000 mt/h. Outotec's Spirals
Typical Applications: Ahead of spiral plants, Ahead of a jig. Location: Base metals, Chrome, Minerals processing plants. Degritting Cyclone: The feed is fine slimes (or almost clear water) with a low content of coarse grit. The cyclone extracts the grit to the underflow. The cyclone overflow is the required product.
