Introduction 1.1 Spirals Spirals are one of the types of equipment which have been designed and built to effect separation of minerals by gravity. Spiral concentrators are simple low energy consuming devices that separate minerals on the basis of density.
The primary objective, therefore, is to separate broken particles from. unbroken particles. The fundamental principles of spiral gravity separation are. analyzed in this paper. Fig.1 illustrates the essence of the situation. A sphere placed on a downward slope gains a rolling forward. velocity.
Spiral Concentrators (Flowing Film) Separation by density occurs as a result of primary flow and circulating secondary flow patterns that are created as the feed slurry travels along an elongated helical trough surface that spirals downward around a central axis.

One spiral concentrator occupies about 0.37 m2 (4 ft2) of floor space and about 2.1 m (7 ft) of headroom measured from feed to discharge box. The optimum particle-size range of feed particles for spirals is about 10 to 200 mesh (2 to 0.074 mm). As the feed slurry flows down the spiral channel, the particles with the highest specific gravity ...
Thompson, "The Humphreys Spiral Concentrator: Its Place in Ore Dressing," Min. Eng., 10 (1), 84 (1958). Principle of Operation Spiral concentration of ores and industrial materials is based primarily on the specific-gravity differentials of the materials to be separated.
Spiral concentrators are preferred density separation equipment for processing fine-sized particles; typically, finer than 2 mm but coarser than 0.05 mm. Their operation is straightforward, with low capital and operating expenditure. In India, they are used to process iron ores, chromite ores, beach sand minerals, coal, etc.

Principles of Spiral Gravity Classification by David Kirk INTRODUCTION Gravity separation of shot particles is of fundamental importance for peening. From a commercial viewpoint it is the basis of several methods for separating acceptable from unacceptable shot shapes i.e. classification. The commonest such method is probably spiral
Spirals are gravity concentrators used for the valorization of coal and heavy minerals. Coarse hematite iron ores in Canada are usually concentrated by spirals. Spirals classify the particles according to their size and specific gravity.
The spiral concentrator is one of the most effective, low-cost devices for the gravity beneficiation of ores. Manufactured from lightweight, corrosion and abrasion resistant materials, spirals require a minimum of maintenance and upkeep. Spiral concentrators offer a relatively simple unit operation that translates to low capital and operating cost.
More than a hundred years ago, the shaker table was introduced, and is still used in gravity processing flow today. Due to its low capacity (less than 2 tph), the shaker is usually placed after the centrifugal concentrator, jig and spiral classifier, and final upgrade the mineral concentrate produced by former equipment, thus to further improve the gold …
Abstract. Spirals are used for gravity concentration of minerals and of late these have been extensively and effectively used for iron ore processing. Their widespread use is mainly due to lower ...
The Kneson centrifugal concentrator is an enhanced gravity device that generates a high gradient centrifugal field whereby the deposition and stratification of fine particles occur inside a smooth centrifugal wall. Feed slurry is introduced into a rotating rotor bowl and accelerated by an impeller as it flows on the inner wall of the rotor. The ...
concentrator, where the action of gravity and hydrodynamic forces due to the circulating flowing film are combined to separate gangue mineral from pure mineral.[13] The detailed separation principle of spiral concentrator has been discussed in the literature.[9–11] The main process variables of a typical spiral concentrator are the feed flow ...
The Superpanner is a Mechanism invented by Professor H. T. Haultain which simulates rocking,bumping, and sluicing action used in panning, and gives precise information as to possibility of gravity treatment of sands. Used in rapid assays and as a research aid.
How does spiral classifier work? The screw classifier is based on the principle that the solid particles are different in size and specific gravity, so the settling speed in the liquid is different. Fine ore particles float in the water and overflow, and coarse ore particles sink to the bottom of the tank.

Firstly, it involves the preparation and liberation, of the valuable minerals from waste minerals and secondly, the separation these values into two or more products, called concentrates. The term separation in this case is synonymous with concentration. These functions are carried out within the constraints of the following three rules.
