Stamp Mill Gold Mining Oem Factory Quality Control
1. PAINPOINT DRIVEN OPENING
Are you managing gold recovery operations burdened by inconsistent throughput, excessive maintenance costs, and unpredictable downtime? Legacy crushing and grinding equipment often fails to meet the demands of modern, highvolume ore processing. Consider these common challenges:
Unplanned Downtime: Frequent breakdowns of cast components or drive systems halt your entire milling circuit, costing thousands per hour in lost production.
High Operational Costs: Excessive energy consumption per ton of ore processed and the constant need for replacement parts erode your profit margins.
Inconsistent Grind & Recovery: Variable feed size and worn mechanisms lead to an uneven pulp product, compromising downstream cyanidation or gravity recovery efficiency.
LaborIntensive Operation: Equipment requiring constant manual adjustment and monitoring diverts skilled personnel from other critical plant tasks.
Rapid Wear in Abrasive Environments: Quartz and hard rock ore prematurely degrade mill components, leading to frequent shutdowns for rebuilds or replacements.
How do you achieve reliable, costeffective comminution that delivers a consistent product for optimal gold liberation? The solution lies in specifying OEM factoryengineered stamp mill technology built for endurance and controlled performance.
2. PRODUCT OVERVIEW
This product line comprises heavyduty, modernized stamp mills engineered for primary and secondary crushing of goldbearing ores. Designed as a robust mechanical crusher, it transforms runofmine (ROM) ore into finely milled pulp suitable for subsequent extraction processes.
Operational Workflow:
1. Feed: ROM ore is fed into a sealed mortar box atop a heavyduty steel frame.
2. Crushing & Grinding: A series of mechanically lifted stamps (weighted rods with mallets) are sequentially dropped onto the ore, pulverizing it through repeated impact.
3. Pulp Discharge: Finely crushed material is washed through a perforated screen at the mortar box's base with a controlled water flow, creating a slurry for further processing.
Application Scope & Limitations:
Ideal For: Mediumscale operations processing freemilling gold ores, particularly where simplicity, durability, and ease of maintenance are priorities. Effective for both vein material and alluvial concentrates.
Limitations: Not suitable for ultrafine grinding required for refractory ores. Requires a consistent feed size (typically <2 inches) for optimal operation. Physical footprint and foundation requirements must be accounted for in plant design.

6. APPLICATION SCENARIOS
MidScale Hard Rock Mine, West Africa | Challenge: A mine using aging hammer mills faced excessive downtime due to wear part failure and high energy costs from an undersized generator.| Solution: Implementation of two parallel 5stamp mills with optimized drive motors.| Results: Achieved consistent 8 TPH throughput with fewer mechanical issues. Generator fuel consumption dropped by 20%, contributing to a payback period on the new equipment of under 22 months.
Gravity Concentration Plant, South America | Challenge: Inconsistent grind size from improvised crushing circuits led to significant gold losses in coarse tailings from shaking tables.| Solution: Integration of a single 3stamp mill as a dedicated recrusher for table concentrates.| Results:Particle size distribution became tightly controlled. Subsequent gold recovery via concentration improved by approximately 15%, capturing previously lost values.
