Belt Conveyor Scale – Magnet and Metal Detector
Belt Conveyor weightometers are required to accurately weight and chart the tonnage throughput. An operator is able to catch many problems that are developing simply by watching the tonnage. A drop or increase in tonnage can indicate something going wrong .within the system. MAGNETS, These capture what is known as “TRAMP METAL”. This is metal that […]
Chilean Mill
The Quartz Mill AKA Chilean Mill is one of the more popular types of the original Chilean mill. Still used for certain grinding problems, this mill employs the convex-concave principle of crushing ores, resulting in a product surprisingly low in slime content and which has its particles, such as sulfides and gold, well polished and free of […]
Sepor Mini Jaw Crusher
The SEPOR Mini-Jaw Crusher is suitable for crushing small quantities of rock and other friable material, ranging in hardness from hard quartz to relatively soft claystone. It is available with a variety of wear surfaces: Hardened steel alloy plates for users not concerned with iron contamination and 85% Alumina […]
Flotation Machines
Industrial flotation machines can be divided into four classes: mechanical pneumatic froth separation column air-lift matless As pneumatic and froth separation devices are not commonly used in industry today, no further discussion about them will be given in this module. The mechanical machine is dearly the most common type of flotation machine currently used in […]
Cyclosizer
A cyclosizer, in principle, is an “old sizing machine” allowing size analysis of sub-sieve size (-38 micron). One of the most widely used methods of sub-sieve sizing in modern mineral-processing laboratories is the Warman Cyclosizer which is extensively used for routine testing and plant control in the size range 8 – 38 micron for minerals of specific gravity similar […]
Mineral Processing Laboratories
Finding a good and the right mineral processing laboratory and have your testing filled properly is important. Most metallurgical laboratories now are actually specialized. They will claim to “do-it-all” while what they can actually do truly depends on who their current staff is. You have hear the cliché on people are our greatest asset? Well, it […]
Analytical Balance Weights
WEIGHTS, Students’ Analytical—Brass weights are tall form, slightly conical, with fractionals of aluminum under glass cover. They are fitted in a well polished hardwood box, mahogany finished with hinged cover, velvet lined. Each set is supplied with a pair of forceps and with one each 5 mg. and 10 mg. aluminum rider. WEIGHTS, Semi-Analytical—Adapted for student use […]
Laboratory Pulverizers
The use of a laboratory pulverizer is a must before sending any soil or test sample for XRF, titration, ICP or other assay method; you need to pulverize or fine grind a dry representative portion of the rock sample using what is commonly called in the laboratory language of sample preparation a laboratory pulverizer. Any […]
