Targeted Solutions for EcoFriendly Gold Ore Crushing Equipment | Engineered for Performance and Compliance

Are you balancing the relentless pressure to increase gold recovery rates with stringent environmental regulations and rising operational costs? Conventional crushing circuits often present significant challenges: excessive energy consumption driving up perton processing costs, uncontrolled dust emissions creating health hazards and compliance headaches, and waterintensive processes that are unsustainable in arid regions. Downtime for maintenance and liner changes further erodes profitability. How can you achieve the required particle liberation for optimal cyanidation or gravity recovery while minimizing your environmental footprint and total cost of ownership? The solution requires a fundamental shift in equipment design and process philosophy.

Product Overview: Advanced, EcoConscious Crushing Systems

Our ecofriendly gold ore crushing equipment encompasses a range of primary jaw crushers, secondary cone crushers, and tertiary highpressure grinding rolls (HPGR) or vertical shaft impactors (VSI) designed as integrated, closedcircuit systems. The operational workflow is engineered for minimal waste and maximal efficiency: (1) Primary crushing reduces runofmine ore to a manageable size. (2) Secondary and tertiary stages progressively liberate goldbearing minerals with precise control over product size distribution. (3) Integrated dust suppression and collection systems capture particulates at source. (4) Advanced automation regulates feed rates and crusher settings for optimal power draw and wear life. (5) The system operates in a largely dry or minimally watered context, drastically reducing slurry handling and water consumption.

This equipment is suited for hardrock gold ores (lode deposits) requiring comminution. It is most effective in greenfield installations or comprehensive plant retrofits where a holistic approach to energy, water, and emission control is prioritized.

Application Scenarios

MidScale Gold Operation in Arid Region

Challenge: A mine in Western Australia faced strict water license limits and exorbitant costs for water transportation. Their existing crushing plant’s wet dust suppression was unsustainable.
Solution: Implementation of a fully enclosed secondary & tertiary cone crusher circuit with dry fog suppression and highefficiency fans feeding a baghouse filter.
Results: Fresh water use in crushing fell by 94%. Captured dust was automatically recycled into the conveyor stream, eliminating waste. Energy monitoring showed an 18% reduction in specific power consumption due to optimized load control.

Plant Retrofit for Regulatory Compliance

Challenge: An aging gold processing facility in Nevada received violation notices for silica dust emissions and needed to reduce overall site energy consumption.
Solution: Retrofit of existing jaw crusher with sealing kits and replacement of an old tertiary crusher with an automated HPGR unit in a sealed module.
Results: Pointsource emissions were brought well below the MSHA permissible exposure limit (PEL). The HPGR’s more efficient comminution provided finer product size for leaching, improving recovery by ~2%, while cutting the overall comminution circuit energy use by approximately 15%.
