Feeders and Conveyors

Calculating Stockpile Capacity

Calculating Stockpile Capacity: Once the minimum storage capacities which will assure maximum mill output are known, the appropriate stockpile configuration must be determined. Stockpiles fall into two general categories: conical and elongated. Conical Stockpiles The conical stockpile is the simplest and easiest to analyze. The total stockpile capacity is given by: 3.14 (Tan A)R³ D/3000 = … Read more

Vibrating Feeders

Electric Vibrating Feeder The Electric Vibratory Feeder is a vibrator that provides an extremely efficient, simple and economical solution to the problem of making the most stubborn material flow freely. No longer need there be a sticking together of wet ore in the ore bin, or the arching over and hanging up of materials in hoppers … Read more

Apron Feeders

Apron Feeders must always be employed to ensure that the feed to a crushing machine is drawn at a constant rate from the bin which serves it. Of the many designs in existence by far the most widely used are the apron and pan feeders, although the Ross Chain Feeder is coming into favour for … Read more

Bin Discharge Gates

Rack and Pinion Bin Discharge Gate (Rack and Pinion) Bin Gate consists of a steel plate door, steel shaft, cast iron guides, hand wheel, pawl, rack, and pinion. These parts are all built of the best materials, carefully machined and assembled. This type of gate meets the need for a simple means of control of … Read more

Reagent Distribution Systems and Feeders

Electric Vibrating Feeder The Syntron Electric Vibrating Feeder is built on the same simple and strong principles as the Syntron Electric Vibrator. The vibrating trough is carried on two leaf springs and vibrated through the pulsating current of an electro-magnet. The speed of this magnet is controlled by a separate electric controller, which is furnished … Read more

Types of Small Ore Feeders

Adjustable-Stroke Belt Ore Feeder The Adjustable -Stroke Belt Ore Feeder is preferred for feeding the grinding mill because of its smoothness of operation, uniformity of discharge, and regulation of feed. It is so arranged that it can be installed to draw the feed from the bottom or the front of the ore bin. Various lengths … Read more

Types Belt Conveyor

The type of belt conveyors are used to transport various materials over relatively short distances both horizontally and on an incline where the angle of the latter does not exceed 21° to 23° in exceptional cases. The material can be of almost any size and either dry or wet, but in the latter case the moisture content must … Read more

Electromagnetic Separation

Starting with a mixture of any of the above minerals it may be determined whether or not they can be separated by high tension, magnetic, or gravity methods and whether any one, or a combination of “Electromagnetic Separation” methods is required. If the minerals appear in different columns they may be separated by high tension and/or … Read more

Crushing Plant Flowsheet & Design-Layout

In the crushing section, the ore as it comes from the mine is broken down dry to a size suitable for the wet grinding machines ; these can, if necessary, be made to take lumps of 2-in. size, but they work much more efficiently if their feed is ½ in. or less. Before the advent of … Read more

Rotary Filter Internal Piping & Manifold

inside rotary filter assembly

This insides (Internal Piping) of a Disk or Drum Rotary Filter and its Manifold are much similar to each other. Each of the sectors are attached to what is known as the MANIFOLD. The purpose of the manifold is provide a series of passages for both the vacuum and the air. Each passage services one sector from … Read more
