1. PAINPOINT DRIVEN OPENING

Are you scaling your gold mining operation to meet production targets, only to be constrained by your washing and recovery plant? At the 500 TPH scale, common operational challenges directly impact profitability. Are you experiencing:
High Downtime for Maintenance: Frequent component wear from abrasive materials leads to unscheduled stops, costing thousands per hour in lost production.
Inconsistent Recovery Rates: Inefficient scrubbing and screening fails to fully liberate gold from complex clays or cemented gravels, leaving valuable material in your tailings.
Excessive Water and Power Consumption: Outdated plant designs are not optimized for resource efficiency, creating unsustainable operational costs and environmental management burdens.
Scalability Limitations: Modular or inflexible plants cannot adapt to varying feed grades or material types, forcing suboptimal processing across different sections of your deposit.
High Manpower Requirements: Plants requiring constant manual intervention for feed control or oversize removal increase labor costs and safety exposure.

The central question becomes: how can you achieve reliable, highvolume throughput with maximized recovery and controlled operational expenditure? The answer lies in a purposeengineered 500 Tph Gold Mining Washing Plant.

2. PRODUCT OVERVIEW

A 500 Tph Gold Mining Washing Plant is a complete, modular processing system designed for alluvial or eluvial gold deposits. Its primary function is to scrub, break down, size, and concentrate raw feed material to recover liberated gold through subsequent gravity separation methods.

Operational Workflow:
1. Primary Feed & Scrubbing: Runofmine material is fed into a robust scrubber or trommel, where intense agitation breaks down clay agglomerates and cemented gravels.
2. Sizing & Classification: The discharged material is screened into specific size fractions (e.g., oversize reject, midsize for further concentration, fine material).
3. Concentration: The target size fraction is routed to highcapacity gravity concentrators (such as centrifugal concentrators or sluices) to separate heavy gold particles from lighter gangue material.
4. Tailings Management: Waste streams are efficiently managed through designed sumps and pumps or directed to settling ponds.

Application Scope & Limitations:
This plant is engineered for highvolume placer, alluvial, and eluvial operations where gold is liberated through physical washing processes. It is not designed for hard rock (lode) deposits requiring chemical leaching or crushing circuits beyond initial scrubber capability. Optimal performance requires adequate water supply and feed material within the plant's designed size distribution.

6. APPLICATION SCENARIOS

Alluvial Gold Operation in West Africa

Challenge: An existing operation using rudimentary sluices struggled with low recovery (<90%) from claybound gravels at targeted volumes above 400 TPH, resulting in significant financial loss.
Solution: Implementation of a turnkey modular plant featuring an aggressive scrubber section followed by a multistage screening and centrifugal concentration circuit.
Results: Within one month of commissioning, the plant achieved sustained throughput of 520 TPH at a measured recovery rate of 98.7%. Payback period was calculated at under nine months based on recovered gold value alone.

LargeScale Placer Mine in North America

Challenge: High seasonal labor costs and stringent environmental regulations on water usage made scaling traditional wash plant operations economically unviable.
Solution: Deployment of an automated plant with a central PLC control system integrated into their existing fleet management software alongside the highefficiency water recycling module.
Results: The operation reduced its seasonal water license requirements by over twothirds while cutting shift labor requirements from five operators down to two per shift—achieving the target volume at lower operational cost despite higher initial equipment investment.
