Equipment for Heavy Mineral Separation

Heavy minerals (such as ilmenite, rutile, zircon, monazite, cassiterite, chromite, tungsten ore, etc.) are usually separated by gravity separation, magnetic separation, electrostatic separation, and combined process. Below is the complete equipment list commonly used in industrial production:

1. Gravity Separation Equipment (Most Widely Used)

Jigging Machine For coarse and medium heavy minerals, used for pre-separation and roughing.

                                                      Saw tooth jig machine 

Spiral Chute / Spiral Separator Suitable for fine-grained ore, widely used in beach placer and alluvial ore.

                                                    Spiral chute/Spiral separator 

Shaking Table (Wilfley Table) High-precision separation, used for cleaning and obtaining final concentrate.\

                                                          Shaking  table 

Centrifugal Concentrator (Knelson, Falcon, etc.) For fine and micro-fine heavy minerals, high recovery rate.

2. Magnetic Separation Equipment

Used to separate magnetic / weakly magnetic heavy minerals (ilmenite, chromite, wolframite, etc.)

Wet Magnetic Separator

High-Intensity Magnetic Separator (WHIMS)

Dry Magnetic Separator

Magnetic Drum Separator

                                                                            wet magnetic separator

3. Electrostatic & High-Tension Separation

For non-conductive / conductive heavy mineral separation (zircon, rutile, monazite, etc.)

High-Tension Electrostatic Separator

Corona Electrostatic Separator

4. Grinding & Crushing Equipment (Front-End Preparation)

Jaw Crusher

                                                   jaw  crusher

Cone Crusher

Hammer Mill

Ball Mill / Rod Mill

                                                                   ball  mill

Grinding Machine (for placer ore)

5. Dewatering & Tailings Treatment

Vibrating Screen

Thickener

Filter Press / Vacuum Filter

Cyclone Group

Typical Combined Process

Crushing → Desliming → Jig / Spiral Chute → Shaking Table → Magnetic Separation → Electrostatic Separation → Final Concentrate
