Mineral Processing Equipment is mainly composed of jaw crusher, ball mill, classifier, magnetic separator, flotation machine, thickener and drier, with feeder, lifter and conveyor as supplements.
This Processing Equipment enjoys the advantages of high efficiency, low energy cost, high production capacity and economy and rationality.
The procedure of the Processing Equipment goes like this: the ore is first sent to jaw crusher for primary crushing. Then the ore with a proper size for secondary crushing will be sent into the ball mill for fine crushing and grinding. The ore powder discharged from the ball mill will be sent to the next procedure: classifying. Because of the different sedimentation rate due to the varied specific gravity, spiral classifier can clean and group the ore mixture. The cleaned and gouped mixture is sent to magnetic separator, due to the different susceptibility, magnetic substance can be separated from the mixture under magnetic and mechanical force. Then the mixture is sent to flotation machine, according to the features of different ores, we can add different additive into the mixture to separate the ore we want from the mixture. `After the separation from the mixture, the ore we want always contains a lot of water, we need a thickener to have it concentrated first and then dried by a drier; eventually we can get dry ore.

These processes can be classified as either dense medium separation or gravity separation. The difference between the two that gravity separation does not use a dense medium to operate, only water or air. Dense medium separation can be performed with a variety of mediums. These include, organic liquids, aqueous solutions, suspensions in water and suspensions in air. Of these, most industrial processes use suspensions in water. The organic liquids are not used due to their toxicity and difficulties in handling. The aqueous solution as a dense medium is used in coal processing in the form of a belknap wash and the suspension in air is used in water-deficient areas, like china, where sand is used to separate coal from the gangue minerals. The dense medium separation is also classified as absolute gravity separation as the sinks and the floats travel in different directions. The gravity separation is also called relative gravity separation as they separate particles due to their differences in the magnitude of the particle response to a driving force.
