WAVE PLANT FOR COMPLEX EXTRACTION OF VALUABLE MINERALS Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: gravity concentration of minerals and placers in thin-layer flows on rotary concentration tables. SUBSTANCE: plant has decks provided with inertial members for wave oscillations of pulp; they are provided with reflectors and guide plates and are mounted at inclination towards loading of pulp; concentration surfaces decrease in radius in such way that decks of first, second and third stages of separation are located above chutes receiving fractions of low density, fine fraction of average density and coarse fraction of average density; decks of fourth stage of separation are located above chute receiving fine fraction of high density and above chute receiving coarse fraction of high density; bottom of each chute is inclined towards unloading; deck supports are made for adjustment of longitudinal and transversal inclination of decks; they are mounted under upper points of concentration surfaces; heeling mechanisms are mounted under lower points of concentration surfaces; drive ensures synchronous rotation of pulp distributors and decks around common axis. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency. 3 dwg
