In the classification process of mineral processing, slime separators, classifiers and classification boxes serve distinct core functions, and selection based on actual needs is critical. Their key differences and selection principles are as follows:
- Slime Separator: Power-free gravity settling equipment, mainly for desliming, concentration and ore storage with low classification accuracy. Ideal for pre-treatment before grinding, a cost-effective choice for basic process requirements.
- Classifier: Driven by machinery combined with gravity settling, the core equipment for precise classification. Usable in closed-circuit circulation with ball mills, also for ore washing and dewatering, with adjustable classification granularity. A must for the core classification process of grinding.
- Classification Box: Power-free with low height, specially matched for feeding of shaking table gravity separation. Divided into Yunnan Tin type (for ordinary slime) and inclined narrow flow type (for high-precision fine particles). The choice when space is limited or matching gravity separation processes.
Core selection rule: Choose slime separator for pre-treatment desliming, classifier for grinding closed-circuit classification, and classification box for shaking table matching/limited site space.
