A 30 TPH (tons per hour) placer gold and rock gold wash plant is a system designed to handle large quantities of gold-bearing material, efficiently separating gold from other materials using water and gravity.
Key Components:
- Hopper: Where raw material is fed into the plant.
- Trommel Screen: Rotating drum that screens and separates material by size.
- Water Pump: Provides the necessary water pressure for washing and sluicing.
- Sluice Box: Utilizes riffles to catch gold particles as water and sediment flow over it.
- Gold Shaker Table: A table that shakes and separates gold from other materials using a combination of water flow and shaking action; often used for final processing.
- Centrifugal Gold Concentrator: Uses high-speed rotation to concentrate gold particles.
Process Overview:
- Feeding: Raw material is fed into the hopper.
- Screening: The trommel screen rotates, sorting material by size. Smaller particles pass through and larger particles are discarded or further processed.
- Washing: Water jets wash the finer material through the sluice box.
- Concentration: Gold particles are trapped in the riffles of the sluice box. Further concentration can be achieved with a shaker table or centrifugal concentrator.
- Recovery: Collected concentrate is processed to retrieve pure gold.
Additional Features:
- Portability: Some wash plants are mobile, enabling on-site processing in various locations.
- Efficiency: Modern designs aim for maximum gold recovery with minimal environmental impact.
- Scalability: Modular units can handle varying capacities depending on mining requirements.
Applications:
- Placer Mining: Ideal for placer deposits where gold particles are mixed with sand and gravel.
- Hard Rock Mining: Capable of handling rock gold by crushing and then processing.
Considering your production goals and mining conditions, selecting the right components and customizing the process can optimize gold recovery efficiency.
