This comprehensive 110 TPH heavy mineral processing flowchart is specifically designed to efficiently separate heavy mineral concentrates (HMC) including rutile, monazite, zircon, ilmenite, and magnetite from beach sand. Utilizing a range of specialized machinery, the plant incorporates a vibrating feeder, vibrating screen, spiral chute separator, attrition washing machine, hydrocyclone, spiral sand washer, belt conveyor, slurry pump, and water pump.
Flowchart Overview:
The process begins with raw sand being unloaded into a feeding hopper, where a vibrating feeder distributes it evenly onto a vibrating screen.
The screen, with a mesh size of 10, effectively separates oversized particles, which are then transported to a waste stockpile via a belt conveyor.
The under-screen material (particles smaller than 10 mesh) is collected and mixed with water before being pumped to a distribution unit, directing it to the gravity spiral separator.
The spiral chute separator operates in three distinct stages: the rougher separation stage employs 45 spiral chutes to process the slurry, while the cleaner stage features 24 additional spiral separators that improve recovery from middling materials. Tailings from this stage are further processed using 12 tailing spirals.
In the final recleaning stage, 18 spiral separators refine the heavy mineral concentrate, which is subsequently washed in an attrition washing machine. Dewatering is accomplished using hydrocyclones and spiral sand washers. The system is designed to effectively recycle water and reprocess middling and tailing materials, maximizing mineral recovery. This established technology is highly regarded and well-received by customers due to its efficiency and effectiveness.
