Efficiently transform the concentrator

Advantages and Features

• The high-efficiency transformation of the concentrator equipment developed by Huston has an additional degassing tank, which can eliminate the attachment of solid particles to the bubbles and settle like a "parachute"
• its feeding pipe is designed under the liquid surface to prevent gas from being brought in during feeding
• the feeding sleeve moves downward and is equipped with a material receiving plate, so that the fed slurry falls evenly and smoothly, effectively preventing the tumbling phenomenon caused by the residual pressure in the mine
• An internal overflow weir is added to allow the material to flow as required, prevent "short circuit" and increase the sedimentation area
• the overflow weir of the Huston high-efficiency concentrator is changed to a zigzag shape to improve the local suction phenomenon caused by the uneven overflow weir
• the traditional internal overflow weir is changed to an external overflow weir, which increases the settling area and makes it less likely to block material
• the horizontal feeding of the traditional concentrator is changed to an inclined feeding, which fundamentally eliminates the problem of feeding blockage
• It is equipped with a slow-flow device to slow down the rising speed of material water flow, making the overflow water more uniform and with lower turbidity.

Working Principle

The high-efficiency transformation concentrator mainly consists of two parts: a circular concentration tank and a rake-type mud scraper. The solid particles suspended in the slurry in the concentration tank settle under the action of gravity, and the upper part becomes clarified water, allowing solid and liquid to be separated. The sludge deposited at the bottom of the concentration tank is continuously scraped by the rake-type scraper to the center discharge port at the bottom of the tank for discharge, while the clarified water overflows from the upper edge of the concentration tank.

Case Study

During the concentration process of a certain gold mine, it was found that the concentration of the underflow was not high and the solid-liquid separation was not obvious, so several high-efficiency modified thickeners were added. The linearity of the rake teeth of Huston’s high-efficiency modified thickener has been changed from a diagonal type to a curved type, which increases the concentration of the ore discharge underflow and increases the processing capacity; at the same time, a degassing tank is added to better prevent solid particles from adhering to bubbles, and the solid-liquid separation is more obvious.
