1. PYNPUNT GEDREWE OPENING

Are you scaling up your alluvial or eluvial gold operation and finding that your washing and recovery setup is the bottleneck? Operational inefficiencies in highcapacity material scrubbing and gold liberation directly impact your bottom line. Common challenges with 500 TPH throughput include:

Inkonsekwente voerhantering: Veranderlike klei-inhoud en oormaat materiaal kan gereelde blokkasies in scrubbers en skerms veroorsaak, leading to unplanned downtime that costs thousands per hour in lost production.
Ondoeltreffende Bevryding & Herstel: Onvoldoende skrop versuim om gesementeerde agglomerate af te breek, trapping fine gold and sending payable material to your tailings. Bedryfsramings dui op verliese van 515% are not uncommon in underperforming plants.
Hoë bedryfskoste: Oormatige waterverbruik, high wear part replacement frequency on inferior components, and the need for a large crew to manage multiple smaller units erode profit margins.
Komplekse integrasie: Piecing together equipment from different manufacturers for screening, skrop, and gravity separation creates control complexities and maintenance headaches.

Is your current plant configuration maximizing recovery at a 500tonperhour rate? Are you managing water and power consumption effectively? 'n Doelgerigte 500 TPH gold mining washing plant is designed to address these exact operational and financial pressures.

2. PRODUK OORSIG

A 500 TPH gold mining washing plant is an integrated processing system designed for the continuous scrubbing, klassifikasie, and gravity concentration of alluvial or weathered eluvial deposits. Its primary function is to liberate gold from claybound or cemented gravels and concentrate it into a manageable product for final extraction.

Operasionele werkvloei:
1. Primêre skrop & Grootte verkleining: Runofmine feed is introduced into a heavyduty rotary scrubber, where intense attrition breaks down clays and soft conglomerates.
2. Primêre sifting & Verwydering van afval: The scrubbed material passes over a vibrating screen. Groot rotse (+75mm) word as afval verwerp, while undersize material proceeds.
3. Sekondêre sifting & Klassifikasie: A second screening stage separates the valuable gravel fraction (bv., 75mm +2mm) vir verdere konsentrasie.
4. Swaartekrag konsentrasie: The target fraction is routed through a series of highcapacity gravity concentrators (soos sentrifugale konsentrators of sluise) to recover liberated gold particles.
5. Uitskotbestuur & Water Herwinning: Fine waste (2mm) reports to a settling pond or dewatering system, met verhelderde water wat hersirkuleer word om varswatervraag aansienlik te verminder.

Toepassingsomvang & Beperkings:
This plant is optimal for unconsolidated deposits with significant clay content requiring intensive agitation. It is less suitable for hardrock primary ore processing or environments with extreme space constraints where modularity is paramount over fixed installation efficiency.
