Spiral chute: a green and efficient solution for gravity ore dressing

#Industry ·2026-02-08

In today's pursuit of high efficiency, environmental protection, and low costs, the mineral processing industry is facing unprecedented challenges. How to achieve precise mineral separation while reducing energy consumption and operating costs? The spiral chute, as a classic gravity separation equipment, is providing an excellent green and efficient solution for modern mining with its unique advantages. What is a spiral chute? A spiral chute is a device that utilizes the differences in mineral density, particle size, and shape, combined with water flow and gravity, to generate a complex force on the chute surface, thereby achieving mineral sorting. It does not require external power, has a simple structure, and is easy to operate, making it an ideal choice for processing fine and ultra-fine minerals, especially for sand mining and coal sludge classification. Why choose a spiral chute? 1. Green and environmentally friendly, zero energy consumption: The biggest highlight of the spiral chute is that it does not require any mechanical power drive. It relies entirely on gravity, water flow, and the physical characteristics of minerals for sorting, truly achieving "zero energy consumption" production, significantly reducing operating costs, and minimizing carbon emissions. It is a green mining equipment that complies with the concept of sustainable development. 2. High efficiency and accuracy, high enrichment rate: The unique spiral structure design, combined with precision chute surface materials (such as fiberglass and polyurethane), effectively prolongs the residence time of minerals on the chute surface and increases sorting opportunities. Through multiple effects such as water film laminar flow, centrifugal force, and friction, it achieves effective separation of light and heavy minerals, thereby obtaining high-quality concentrates and ideal recovery rates. 3. Simple structure, easy maintenance: The entire equipment does not have any moving parts, fundamentally eliminating the occurrence of mechanical failures. This means less wear, longer service life, and low-cost operation with almost no maintenance, greatly reducing downtime and improving production efficiency. 4. Large processing capacity and small footprint: The spiral chute can be used in parallel or series combinations, with large processing capacity and a small footprint for a single device, enabling effective utilization of limited site space. Its modular design is also convenient for installation, disassembly, and transportation. 5. Wide applicability and adaptability: It is widely used in the sorting of ferrous metals (such as iron ore, titanium iron ore, chromite), non-ferrous metals (such as tin ore, tungsten ore, tantalum-niobium ore, gold ore), rare metals, and non-metallic minerals (such as zircon, rutile), especially for the sorting of fine-grained minerals. For different mineral properties, parameters such as chute surface inclination, feed concentration, and water volume can be adjusted to achieve the best sorting effect. Application fields: Whether it's sand mining sorting, coal sludge classification, tailings recovery, or the pre-enrichment and fine sorting of various minerals, the spiral chute can provide stable and reliable performance. It has become a powerful assistant for various mines and mining plants to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and achieve green production. Choosing a spiral chute is choosing a power-free, high-efficiency, low-cost, and easy-to-maintain modern gravity separation method.
