1. PYNPUNT GEDREWE OPENING

Are you scaling up your alluvial or hard rock gold operation and finding that your washing and recovery processes are the bottleneck? At a planned 500 Tph throughput, common pain points quickly escalate into significant financial losses:
Inkonsekwente voerhantering: Variable clay content or particle size distribution can blind screens and clog scrubbers, leading to frequent stoppages and reducing effective capacity well below 500 Tph.
Ondoeltreffende boeteverhaling: Traditional sluices or jigs often struggle with gold fines below 150 mikrons, resulting in unrecovered value reporting to tailings. Selfs a 0.1% loss at this scale represents substantial annual revenue erosion.
Hoë Water & Kragverbruik: Inefficient plant design leads to excessive water recirculation and oversized pump requirements, inflating both operational costs and environmental footprint.
Oormatige instandhoudingstyd: Poorly constructed or configured washing modules suffer from abrasive wear, requiring frequent liner changes and component replacement, cutting into productive operating hours.

Is your current setup reliably achieving target availability and recovery rates at a true 500 Tph? Are your operating costs per ton under control, or are they being undermined by inefficiency?

2. PRODUK OORSIG

A 500 Tph Gold Mining Washing Plant is 'n modulêre, highcapacity processing system designed for the primary scrubbing, klassifikasie, and gravity concentration of goldbearing ores. Dit transformeer rou, excavated material into concentrated heavy mineral product for further upgrading.

Operasionele werkvloei:
1. Primêre skrop & Disaggregasie: Feed material is aggressively scrubbed in a robust trommel or rotary scrubber to break down clays and cemented aggregates.
2. Deeltjiegrootteklassifikasie: The discharged material is screened to separate oversize waste rock (+10mm tot +75 mm, depending on ore) from valuable undersize.
3. Primêre swaartekragkonsentrasie: The undersize slurry reports to primary concentrators (bv., sentrifugale konsentrators) to recover free gold and heavy minerals.
4. Uitskotbestuur & Water opheldering: Processed tailings are dewatered via cyclones or linear screens, with clarified water recirculated to minimize fresh water demand.

Toepassingsomvang & Beperkings:
Omvang: Ideaal vir alluviale/eluviale afsettings, placer operations, and freemilling hard rock ores where liberation occurs via scrubbing. Effective on a range of materials from weathered conglomerates to lateritic clays.
Beperkings: Not suitable for refractory ores requiring chemical leaching or complex sulphide ores needing flotation. Prestasie is hoogs afhanklik van akkurate voerkarakterisering (klei inhoud, vog, deeltjie grootte).

6. TOEPASSINGSSCENARIO'S

Alluviale plaasoperasie in Wes-Afrika

Challenge A midtier miner needed to upgrade from multiple smaller plants (~200 Tph total) to a single highcapacity unit due to new lease holdings with higher clay content causing severe blinding in existing equipment.
Solution Implementation of a singlestream modular 500 Tph Gold Mining Washing Plant featuring an aggressive clay scrubber trommel frontend and a twostage vibrating screen deck for classification.
Results Achieved consistent throughput of 520 Tph at >93% availability within two weeks of commissioning.Fine gold recovery improved by an estimated 31%, contributing directly to a payback period calculated at under 14 months based on increased yield alone.

Hard Rock Tailings Reprocessing Project

Challenge An engineering contractor was tasked with recovering residual free gold from historical tailings dams where material was partially oxidized but contained problematic fine silt that hampered earlier processing attempts.
Solution A tailored 500 Tph Gold Mining Washing Plant was deployed using highpressure attrition scrubbers followed by desliming cyclones before the gravity circuit.This removed interfering slimes prior to concentration effectively increasing the grade fedto concentrators
Results The plant consistently processed difficult tailings material achieving target throughput while reducing final tails grade by over 40 comparedto previous test work Project met its target internal rateof return IRR within the first year
