In a plant operation, it is important to maintain a consistent feed rate to the spiral concentrator banks. The variations in feed tonnages to the spirals should not exceed 10%. It is also important to properly distribute the feed to each individual spiral so all spirals within a circuit stage are separating the same.
The spiral classifier, recently, has emerged as the most effective gravity separator since its introduction. The spiral separator also known as spiral concentrator, continues to be the most effective gravity separator, useful in processing a wide variety of minerals such as coal, iron, chromite, gold, zircon and other heavy minerals ores [1, …
The MG12 spiral gave us the opportunity to achieve maximum recovery from a multi-stage circuit making the plant smaller and easier to float. The spiral bank modules dropped into and integrated with the plant structure enabling a smooth construction process. It proved to be a very effective solution for a new ore body."

spiral technology for the spiral circuit upgrade at the primary concentrator plants (PCPs). This article summarizes the rougher spiral performance evaluation that was conducted on different types of spiral concentrators (the traditional MG4 spiral concentrator and the high capacity (HC) spiral concentrator) under different feed conditions.
Overview The ore dressing technology of chrome (Chromite) ore mainly has Gravity separation process, the chrome ore mining equipment are jig separator, shaking table, spiral classifier, centrifugal concentrator and spiral chute, and sometimes the concentrate will be selected by weak magnetic separator or high intensity magnetic separator to …
Spiral concentrators have been widely used in coal preparation plants in Illinois and elsewhere to clean the 1 mm x 150 micron particle size fraction.
Spiral concentrators are inefficient at recovering very fine-sized material (<53 µm), which reduces overall separation (Goodman, et al., 1985). Ultrafine particles (<53 µm) tend to …
"The customer required higher recoveries from their mineral sands plant, while also achieving optimal grades," said Ramotsabi. "Our HM12 spiral concentrator will deliver these increased recoveries while still maintaining a limited footprint in the plant." Conventional spirals generally feature seven or eight turns, she noted.
The latter in referred to as a dry spiral concentrator and the former is a wet spiral concentrator (Mine-Engineer, 2015). 2.1.1 Wet Spiral Concentrators Wash-Waterless Spirals These types of spirals are the …
test programme carried out at a chromite plant processing UG2 flotation tailing at a site on the eastern limb of the Bushveld Complex in South Africa showed that online control of the spiral plant concentrate grade using this technique is feasible. Keywords spiral concentrator, optimization, online control, grade-recovery tradeoff. Introduction
Many coal spiral plants have been designed to treat fines contributing 6-10 % of the total plant feed. Audits have shown a drastic increase over the years in the amount of fines reporting to the spirals, with some mines reporting up to 30 % increases. This adds significant pressure onto spiral banks leading to inefficiencies.
