Improving Mineral Processing Efficiency With Spiral Chutes

Spiral chute, also known as a spiral separator, is commonly used in iron ore, ilmenite, chromite, pyrite, zircon, rutile, monazite, tungsten ore, chrome, tin ore, niobium ore, and other non-ferrous metals, rare metals and non-ferrous metals, and metal ore separation. In particular, the effect of placer mining on seashores, riversides, sandy beaches, and creek channels is more significant. The spiral chute mainly uses the gravity, inertial centrifugal force, water flow force and groove surface friction force experienced by light and heavy mineral particles in the downward flow along the spiral slope to sort.

working principle

It mainly comprises six parts: ore distributor, ore feeding trough, spiral trough, ore cutting trough, ore receiving bucket, and trough bracket. Stand the spiral chute up, calibrate the vertical line, and fix it in place with an iron frame or wood. The ore is sent to the two feeding ports on the top of the spiral by a sand pump, and supplementary water is added to adjust the concentration of the ore paddle. The ore paddle naturally swirls from high to downwards, generating an inertial centrifugal force in the rotating slope flow rate. Based on the difference in specific gravity, particle size and shape of the ore, the ore and sand are separated by the gravity and centrifugal force of the swirling flow. The concentrate flows into the concentrate hopper and is connected through a pipeline; the tailings flow into the tailings hopper and are connected to the sand tank through a pipeline. Then, a sand pump is drained away, completing the entire mineral processing process.

Spiral Chutes For Many Major Food Processing Companies

Food processing is one of the industries for which we build a lot of equipment. This industry requires equipment fabricated of stainless steel with a food grade finish, which is a core competency at Astro. For industries other than food, a lower cost carbon steel works great. Spiral chutes are a particularly popular product that we have been custom producing for over 10 years.

WHAT IS A SPIRAL CHUTE?

A spiral chute conveyer is an often-overlooked component in a food production line but one that performs a highly necessary function. Spiral chutes lower food products, usually granular or particulate products, gently from one level of a machine down to another without breaking or damaging them. They provide a &#;hands off&#; operation to ensure that products are handled properly without the need to hire someone full time to perform the task or perform quality control. Several benefits of spiral chutes including: no moving parts, little to no maintenance, a small footprint, sturdy construction, and customization to space.

WHERE ARE THEY USED?

Aside from food processing, a spiral chute can also be used in the following industries:

  • Biofuel
  • Chemical production
  • Agriculture
  • Wood pulp
  • Practically any industry or application that requires safe movement of goods or materials can find use from a professionally manufactured spiral chute.

WHY ASTRO ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING?

Our business is built by delivering quality results with the best possible equipment and trained staff. We specialize in working with the more difficult metals such as stainless steel and aluminum. We also take measures to help customers save as much time and money as possible and get the greatest value from our services. This includes combining several services into one and using cost saving measures while still improving overall quality. All of this is also delivered with impeccable customer service.

We are proud to make all of our products right here in the USA. Many mass-produced chutes are manufactured overseas, using poorer quality materials and lower industrial standards. By choosing a local company, you can support the local economy, support American industrial workers, and receive your products in less time than waiting for international delivery.

If your operation needs a spiral chute or any other essential parts, call us for a custom-made chute manufactured to the highest industry standard. You can also visit us at www.astroeng.com.
