H1: Commercial Stamp Mill for HighVolume Gold Ore Processing

PYNPUNT GEDREWE OPENING

Are you managing a midtohigh tonnage gold operation where consistent, costeffective comminution is the bottleneck? Legacy crushing and grinding solutions often fall short, leading to three critical challenges:

1. Hoë bedryfskoste: Excessive energy consumption per ton of ore processed and frequent, costly maintenance of complex mechanical systems directly erode profit margins.
2. Inconsistent Liberation & Herstel: Inadequate particle size reduction fails to fully liberate gold from complex host rock, leading to significant precious metal losses in tailings.
3. Oormatige stilstand & Arbeidsintensiteit: Unplanned mechanical failures and the need for manual feeding/regulation halt your entire processing line, impacting quarterly output targets.

Hoe bereik jy betroubare, highvolume ore reduction with lower operational complexity and improved gold recovery rates? The engineered commercial stamp mill provides a proven, robuuste oplossing.

PRODUK OORSIG: COMMERCIAL STAMP MILL

A modern commercial stamp mill is a heavyduty mechanical crushing device designed for the coarse to intermediate grinding of goldbearing ore. It operates via the cyclical lifting and dropping of weighted stamps onto ore fed into a mortar box. This method is particularly effective for freemilling ores where gold is liberated at larger particle sizes.

Operasionele werkvloei:
1. Voer: Afloopmyn of primêre gebreekte erts (<50mm) is continuously fed into the steel or iron mortar box.
2. Verpletterend: A camshaft lifts multiple (410) heavy cast iron or steel stamps in sequence, which then drop by gravity onto the ore.
3. Pulverisering & Wash: The repeated impact reduces the ore. A continuous water flow through the mortar box creates a slurry, washing finely ground material through a discharge screen.
4. Konsentrasie: The slurry proceeds directly to downstream concentration systems (bv., sluise, skud tafels).

Toepassingsomvang & Beperkings:
Beste vir: Vrymeulende gouderts, quartz vein material, and operations prioritizing mechanical simplicity and high throughput over ultrafine grinding.
Beperkings: Less efficient for refractory ores requiring micronlevel pulverization. Requires a consistent feed size and controlled water volume.
