Regular Inspections Prevent Magnetite Losses

The only thing worse than losing magnetite is losing clean coal. Both are unnecessary expenses that can be prevented with regular inspection and maintenance. Drain-and-rinse screens play a pivotal role in magnetite recovery in heavy-media prep plants. They use a set of water sprays to wash the coarse coal as it passes across the …

A Different Approach to Heavy Media Circuits

Most U.S. prep plants divide raw coal into two or three streams using screens as the run-of-mine raw coal enters the plant resulting in sizing and desliming of the raw plant feed, which then reports to sumps. From there, coals are pumped to washing circuits based on size. "Pumping coal leads to finer size and thus more expensive to …
