Custom Gold Mining Equipment Sample
1. PAINPOINT DRIVEN OPENING
Are you managing escalating costs and unpredictable yields in your gold recovery circuit? Inconsistent feed material, inefficient separation, and excessive downtime for maintenance directly erode your profit margins. Common operational challenges with conventional gold mining equipment include:
Low Recovery Rates on Fine & Particulate Gold: An estimated 1530% of micron and flour gold can be lost in traditional sluices or jigs, representing a significant revenue leak.
High Operational Downtime: Frequent blockages, screen replacements, and mechanical failures halt your processing plant, costing thousands per hour in lost throughput.
Excessive Water & Power Consumption: Inefficient separation technology demands higher volumes of water and greater horsepower, increasing both utility costs and environmental footprint.
LaborIntensive Operation & Monitoring: Constant manual adjustment and sampling are required to maintain optimal performance, diverting skilled personnel from other critical tasks.
Difficulty with Variable Feed Material: Changes in clay content, particle size distribution, or gold type degrade performance, forcing a compromise between recovery and grade.
Is your operation seeking a solution that delivers consistent, high recovery rates while reducing total operational expenditure? The following analysis of advanced centrifugal concentrators addresses these specific challenges.
2. PRODUCT OVERVIEW: HYPERG SERIES CENTRIFUGAL CONCENTRATOR
The HYPERG Series is a continuousduty centrifugal concentrator engineered for highvolume, maximum recovery of free gold, particularly fine and micronsized particles. It operates as a primary recovery device or a security cleaner in both alluvial (placer) and hard rock milling circuits.
Operational Workflow:
1. Slurry Introduction: Ore slurry is introduced into a rapidly rotating drum.
2. Centrifugal Separation: High Gforces (up to 300G) fluidize the material bed, forcing highdensity gold particles to migrate and become trapped behind specially designed riffles.
3. Continuous Concentration: While gangue material is flushed over the riffles and exits as tails, gold is retained within the concentrating bowl.
4. Automated Discharge: At programmed intervals, the concentrate bowl decelerates, and an internal spray jet discharges the enriched gold concentrate into a secure collection point, with no need for process interruption.
Application Scope & Limitations:
Ideal For: Highcapacity alluvial operations, milled hard rock circuits (gravity recovery ahead of leaching), and fine gold recovery from table or sluice tailings.
Limitations: Not suitable for nuggetonly recovery where simpler methods suffice. Requires a consistent feed slurry density (typically 2040% solids) for optimal performance. Initial capital investment is higher than passive systems.
3. CORE FEATURES

6. APPLICATION SCENARIOS
Alluvial Placer Operation High Clay Content
Challenge: A largescale placer mine experienced severe dropoff in recovery when processing pay layers with elevated clay content using traditional trommel/sluice plants. Material blinded screens and prevented effective gravity separation.
Solution: Installation of two HYPERG100 units as primary concentrators after scrubbing screens. The variable Gforce control allowed operators to increase fluidization intensity to break down clay clusters.
Results: Achieved sustained fine gold recovery rates above 90%, even with >25% clay content. Overall site yield increased by an estimated 18%, paying back the equipment investment in under five months of operation.
Hard Rock Mill Gravity Circuit Optimization
Challenge: A quartz vein mill was losing significant fine gold to cyanide leach tails due to an inefficient primary gravity circuit using older shaking tables that required constant operator attention.
Solution: The HYPERG75 was installed as a primary concentrator directly after grinding classification cyclones to capture free gold immediately.
Results:The continuous centrifugal concentrator produced a highergrade gravity concentrate for direct smelting while reducing load on the leaching circuit.Fine gold loss to tails decreased by 22%.The automated system freed one fulltime operator per shift for reassignment elsewhere in the plant.
