How does STLB Concentrator Work

1. Fluidization water is introduced into the concentrate cone through a series of fluidization holes.

2. Feed slurry is then introduced through the stationary feed tube and into the concentrate cone. When the slurry reaches the bottom of the cone it is forced outward and up the cone wall under the influence of centrifugal force..

3. The slurry fills each ring to capacity to create a concentrating bed. Compaction of the concentrating bed is prevented by fluidization process.

4. The flow of water that is injected into the rings is controlled to achieve optimum bed fluidization. High specific gravity particles are captured and retained in the concentrating cone.

5. Upon conclusion of the concentrate cycly, concentrates are flushed from the cone into the concentrate launder through port.

Operation

The preparation and pre-check before startup

Prepare and check before startup according to the operating requirement.Check whether the degree of tightness of V belts is appropriate.Check whether the moving part is no intervening to each other.Check whether the Concentrate discharge pipe is closed.

Start the equipment

Follow the requirement of the preparation and pre-check before startup, then, turn on the power supply. Make sure the running orientation of electromotor is the same as red arrowhead on the outside of launder, and every part does not interfere each other. All after that, you can turn on the power supply and the equipment is under the natural running.Feed the slurry

Open the fluidization water valve when the equipment working normally, meanwhile, feed the slurry which confected under the required proportion of liquid and solid.

Attention when the equipment is working

a)         Under the working requirement of electromotor, watch the temperature and current

b)        Make sure that every moving parts are working normally

c)         Pay attention to the proportion of liquid and solid of slurry at any time, adjust it in time.

Stop the equipment

Clear up the concentrate after the period of working time. Before stop the equipment, stop feed slurry first and then stop supplying fluidization water, stop the equipment at last. Stop the equipment for a long time is lose, because it is easy to the concentrate which is in the concentrate cone. In addition, it must feed slurry at first then add the fluidization water when turns on the equipment again after temporarily stop the equipment. It can avoid loosing gold.
