Spiral chute: a smart choice for gravity sorting, opening a new chapter of high efficiency and energy saving

#Industry ·2026-02-27

In the complex world of mineral processing, achieving efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly sorting has always been the goal pursued by the industry. The spiral chute, as an outstanding product under this goal, provides a simple yet powerful solution for the purification and enrichment of various minerals through its unique gravity sorting principle. What is a spiral chute? A spiral chute is a classic gravity sorting equipment that operates without external power. By utilizing the centrifugal force, friction, and gravity generated during the flow of mineral slurry in a spiral channel, it effectively separates different mineral particles based on their density, particle size, and shape, achieving precise separation of heavy minerals from light minerals. Outstanding advantages of spiral chutes 1. Energy-saving and efficient, green and environmentally friendly: No power required: The sorting is entirely carried out by the gravity flow of the mineral slurry, without consuming electricity, resulting in extremely low operating costs. Low-carbon and environmentally friendly: Reduces energy consumption and carbon emissions, making it a truly green mining equipment that aligns with the concept of sustainable development. Wet sorting: Sorting is conducted in a water medium, without dust pollution. 2. Simple structure and convenient maintenance: No complex drive components: The equipment has a simple structure without moving parts, greatly reducing the failure rate. Easy installation and operation: Easy to install, operate, and maintain daily, without requiring professional technicians to stay on site long-term, saving labor and maintenance costs. 3. High sorting accuracy and wide application range: Efficient enrichment: Effectively captures fine-grained heavy minerals, significantly improving the grade and recovery rate of the concentrate. Wide application: Widely used in the sorting of iron ores, tin ores, tungsten ores, tantalum-niobium ores, gold ores, sand ores, monazite, rutile, as well as various black metals, non-ferrous metals, rare metals, and non-metallic minerals such as coal and pyrite. 4. Low investment cost and short recovery period: Compared with other complex mining equipment, the initial investment cost of spiral chutes is more advantageous, and due to its high-efficiency and energy-saving characteristics, it can quickly recover the investment. Working principle overview The mineral slurry is evenly fed to the top of the spiral chute by the feed distributor. Under the combined action of gravity, friction, water flow, and centrifugal force, the heavy minerals with high density and fine particle size settle on the outer side of the spiral chute and move downward, forming a concentrate stream; while the light minerals with low density and coarse particle size move on the inner side of the chute, forming a tailings stream. By setting up a product interceptor at the bottom of the chute, the minerals with different densities can be accurately separated.
