ore washing machine in the mineral processing industry

Ore washing machine is a kind of large-scale mining equipment specialized in cleaning sediment, clay and other impurities on the surface of ore, mainly used in the pretreatment stage before ore crushing or beneficiation.

Description

Ore Washing Machine Overview

The ore washing machine enhances the purity of raw materials and processing efficiency, making it an essential piece of equipment in mineral preparation and aggregate production.

Features of the Ore Washing Machine

  1. Solid structure: adopting high strength steel and wear-resistant liner, adapting to heavy-duty operating conditions.
  2. Strong washing power: equipped with high-pressure spraying system, effectively removing the mud and impurities adhering to the surface of the ore.
  3. High efficiency screening: some models are integrated with rotary or vibration screening device, realizing grading while cleaning.
  4. High degree of automation: can be linked with the control system to realize intelligent control of inlet and outlet materials.
  5. Strong adaptability: suitable for granular, lumpy and viscous ore materials.

Advantages of Ore Washing Machine

  1. Significant cleaning effect: the combination of high-pressure water flow and mechanical churning can effectively strip the outer layer of pollutants from the ore.
  2. Energy saving and consumption reduction: resonance principle design, reduce ineffective power consumption, more energy efficient operation.
  3. Convenient maintenance: easy to replace wearing parts, simple structure, reduce operation and maintenance costs.
  4. Good compatibility: can be seamlessly connected with crusher, screening equipment, belt conveyor, etc. to form a washing production line.
  5. Prolong equipment life: reduce the wear and clogging phenomenon of subsequent equipment after cleaning the ore.

Working Principle of the Ore Washing Machine

When the ore washing machine works, the motor drives the reducer, which drives the center shaft to rotate, while high-pressure water is introduced through the spray system. The ore enters the cleaning cylinder from the inlet, and continuously rolls, rubs and collides under the joint action of rotation and water flow to realize the impurity stripping.

Part of the equipment is also combined with the vibration resonance principle, so that the ore is repeatedly thrown up and jumped in the movement to further enhance the cleaning efficiency. The tailings are discharged from the discharge end, and the sediment-water mixture is discharged through the screen to the wastewater system, realizing solid-liquid separation.

Typical Application Areas of Ore Washing Machine

  1. Ferrous metal ores: such as iron ore, manganese ore, titanium ore, etc., used to wash away the surface soil and oxidized layer.
  2. Non-ferrous metal ores: such as copper ore, tungsten ore, tin ore, to improve the beneficiation efficiency and metal recovery rate.
  3. Non-metallic ores: such as silica sand, quartz sand, limestone, after washing, used in glass, ceramics, chemical raw materials and other high-purity requirements of the industry.
  4. Coal industry: to remove the sand and mud in the coal and improve the quality of coal.
  5. Smelting pre-treatment: used in the purification process before the raw materials into the furnace, to protect the smelting efficiency and quality of finished products.
  6. Construction aggregate cleaning: such as river pebbles, gravel, etc., after removal of impurities and purification for high-quality concrete or highway materials.
