1. PAINPOINT DRIVEN OPENING

Are you scaling your operation to meet production targets, only to be constrained by your washing and recovery circuit? Managing a 500 TPH throughput introduces distinct challenges that directly impact your bottom line. Consider these common operational hurdles:
Inconsistent Recovery Rates: Are fluctuating feed grades and particle sizes causing valuable, fine gold to bypass your system, resulting in measurable revenue loss per ton processed?
Excessive Downtime & Maintenance: Is your current plant plagued by frequent mechanical failures, abrasive wear on components, and complex cleanup cycles that halt production for hours?
High Operational Costs: Are you managing escalating expenses from high water consumption, excessive power draw per ton, and the labor required for constant monitoring and manual adjustment?
Scalability Limitations: Does your existing setup lack the modularity to efficiently handle peak feed rates or adapt to future resource expansion without a complete system overhaul?

Selecting the right highcapacity washing plant is a critical capital decision. How do you ensure maximum recovery at 500 TPH while controlling operational expenditure and maintaining plant availability?

2. PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The Premium 500 TPH Gold Mining Washing Plant is a complete, modular processing system engineered for alluvial and eluvial gold deposits. It is designed for operations requiring robust, highvolume scrubbing, classification, and gravity concentration.

Operational Workflow:
1. Primary Feed & Scrubbing: Runofmine (ROM) material is fed into a heavyduty trommel or scrubber screen, where it is aggressively washed and clays are broken apart.
2. Size Classification: The scrubbed material is precisely classified; oversize waste (e.g., +75mm) is rejected via conveyor, while the valuable sub75mm fraction proceeds.
3. Concentration & Recovery: The classified slurry reports to a series of cascading sluices or jigs—specifically configured for coarse and fine gold—where highGR (Grade Recovery) concentration occurs.
4. Tailings Management & Water Handling: Waste tailings are efficiently removed, while process water is recirculated via a settlement pond or clarifier system to minimize fresh water requirements.

Application Scope & Limitations:
Ideal For: Largescale alluvial/eluvial operations, riverine deposits, and weathered conglomerates with claybound gold.
Limitations: Not suitable for hard rock (lode) ore requiring primary crushing or chemical leaching circuits. Optimal performance requires adequate feed preparation (removal of oversized boulders) and a controlled water supply.
