A 50 tons per hour (tph) alluvial gold washing plant is designed to process gold-laden alluvial deposits. Here are some essential components and their functionalities:
Grizzly Feeder (or Trommel Screen): This is used to remove larger rocks and debris before the finer materials enter the system.
Scrubber/Log Washer: Cleans and breaks down clay and soil to ensure the gold is freed from the surrounding material.
Gold Recovery Equipment:
Water Pump and Recycling System: Ensure constant water flow for the washing and separation processes. Recycling systems may be employed to reduce water consumption.
Conveyor Belts: Transport material between different stages of the plant.
Concentrators: Such as centrifugal concentrators which further enhance gold recovery from fine materials.
In design considerations:
Setting up such a plant involves a comprehensive planning process to maximize gold recovery while minimizing environmental impact.
