Working Principle
The centrifugal concentrator utilizes centrifugal force to enhance the gravitational effect on mineral particles, thereby separating heavy and light particles.
Its key component is a conical enrichment cone (also called a drum), which is driven by a motor to rotate at high speed and is surrounded by pressurized backwash water. The ground minerals from the ball mill or the overflow slurry from a hydrocyclone are injected into the bottom of the enrichment cone from its upper end. Inside the cone, there are grooves formed by rows of ribs.
As the cone rotates, centrifugal force propels the mineral particles toward these grooves. However, due to the outward-spraying backwash water, only heavy mineral particles can overcome the resistance of the water and remain in the grooves, forming the concentrate. Lighter minerals, experiencing weaker centrifugal force, cannot resist the backwash water and are flushed out of the grooves. With the continuous flow of water, they overflow from the top of the cone, forming the tailings.
Advantages

High Recovery Rate: Due to the centrifugal force, the concentrator can capture extremely fine precious metal particles, with a recovery rate of over 90%.
Low Energy Consumption: Compared to traditional gravity separation equipment, the centrifugal concentrator consumes less energy, significantly enhancing energy efficiency.
Compact Structure: The machine has a compact design, saving space and making it suitable for small mining operations.
Easy Operation: The automated control system reduces manual intervention, making the machine user-friendly.
Environmentally Friendly: The enclosed design minimizes dust and pollution, meeting environmental protection standards.
