Evaluating separation efficiencies of Multotec's new SC25 spiral on coarse chromite. Spiral concentrators are widely applied to beneficiate commodities such as Cr2O3, mineral sands, and ferrochrome. Read More

Spiral concentrator's full-fledged commercial use started in the early 1940s. Traditionally spiral concentrator has been used effectively in the coal and beach sand industries. Today, it is successfully used to beneficiate a number of ores like chromite, rutile, gold ore, iron ore, coal, beach sand, etc., mainly due to its operational ...

investigation of the potential of spirals for cleaning ultrafine coal in the particle size range of 100 x 325 mesh and 325 x 500 mesh. Hence, the main goal of th isproject was to improve up on spiral cleaning performance so that fine clean coal yield and quality can be significantly improved in coal preparation plants in Illinois and elsewhere.

Introduced a new gravity and flotation separator with double-tailing discharge for fine coal, and integrated classification and cyclone scavenging with flotation in an original way. The beneficiation performance of it was good. The results show that the gravity and flotation separator with double-tailing discharge can produce high-quality clean coal of 10.46% ash …

Spiral Concentrators Mine Engineer. Spiral concentrators are normally used in banks of multiple spirals. Typical capacities for spirals run from 13 tons per hour of feed for minerals and 35 tons per hour for coal. Typical construction of a spiral concentrator is fiberglass and urethane to reduce wear from abrasion.

Spiral concentrators are high-capacity, low-cost units used for heavy mineral ore concentrations or coal cleaning . It can be illustrated as an inclined chute, which follows a downward helix that is wrapped around a column. It can encompass a variable degree of cross section complexity depending on the model .

Multiple cleaning circuits are used in coal preparation facilities to process specific size ranges of the raw coal stream. In the case of fine (e.g., -1 mm+0.15 mm) coal, separations are typically made using spiral concentrators. These units can often suffer from loss of
