Basic Product Definition

The Mineral Processing Thickener is a specialized solid-liquid separation equipment for the mining industry. As a core mineral processing equipment, the Mineral Processing Thickener concentrates low-concentration pulp, tailings and mineral sludge into high-concentration underflow, and recycles clarified overflow. It is essential for mineral processing dehydration and tailings treatment, with specifications expressed by tank inner diameter (3m to 100m based on processing capacity).

Core Structure and Working Principle

 

 

Core Structure:

The Mineral Processing Thickener mainly consists of a thickening tank, central transmission device, sludge scraping frame, scraper, sludge discharge port, overflow trough and safety devices. The cylindrical tank has a gently inclined conical bottom (6°~12°), with underwater components made of corrosion-resistant/wear-resistant materials. The tank can be concrete or steel, and some units are equipped with torque limit, overload protection and automatic rake lifting for safe operation.

Working Principle:

The Mineral Processing Thickener relies on solid mineral particle gravity. Low-concentration pulp enters the tank, particles settle to the bottom, and the central transmission drives the scraping frame to rotate (1/3~1/5r/min), scraping sediment to the central discharge port. Clarified liquid overflows for recycling, and rake speed is adjustable for stable sedimentation.

Product Features and Advantages

 

 

1. Structural Performance:

The Mineral Processing Thickener has a reasonable structure, high transmission efficiency, stable operation and low noise. It adapts to harsh mine environments and is available in small (1.8~20m diameter) and large (up to 53m diameter) models for different mine scales.

01

2. Safety and Stability:

The Mineral Processing Thickener is equipped with complete safety devices. Torque limit and overload protection prevent damage from jamming, and optional automatic rake lifting enhances operational safety.

02

3. Corrosion and Wear Resistance:

Key components of the Mineral Processing Thickener use corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant materials, adapting to acid-base pulp and hard particles, extending service life and reducing maintenance.

03

4. Processing Effect:

The Mineral Processing Thickener's curved/oblique scraper ensures high collection efficiency without residue, concentrating 10%~20% solid pulp into 45%~55% underflow for subsequent processes.

04

5. Operation and Maintenance:

The Mineral Processing Thickener's top-mounted transmission allows maintenance without tank emptying, simplifying operations and reducing costs; it is easy to operate with simple staff training.
