Annual production
In the mining industry, the mining mixing tank is one of the core equipment for many important operations such as processing slurry, mineral extraction, chemical reaction, etc. However, due to the various hard mineral particles contained in the slurry, the mining mixing tank will inevitably face the problem of excessive wear during long-term use. This not only affects the performance of the mining mixing tank, causing equipment downtime for maintenance, but also increases production costs. Therefore, how to effectively avoid excessive wear in the mining mixing tank of a mine is a key issue that every mining company needs to pay attention to.
As an enterprise with many years of experience in the field of mining machinery manufacturing, Zhejiang Golden Machinery Factory (the former Zhuji Nonferrous Metallurgical Machinery Complex Factory) has long been committed to improving the durability and work efficiency of mining equipment with its strong technical research and development strength and advanced manufacturing technology. The company has a first-class R&D center and more than 200 different types of testing and production equipment, strictly implements the ISO9001:2008 quality management system, and has accumulated rich experience in the design and manufacture of mining mining mixing tanks. Based on these experiences, Zhejiang Golden Machinery Factory has summarized several key measures to avoid excessive wear of the mining mixing tank, which will be elaborated in detail from a technical perspective below.
1. Optimize the material selection of the mining mixing tank
The mining mixing tank will be subjected to greater mechanical stress and wear during use, especially when the slurry contains more hard minerals. Choosing suitable wear-resistant materials is the first step to avoid excessive wear. Zhejiang Golden Machinery Factory uses high-strength alloy steel, wear-resistant ceramics and other materials to improve the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the mining mixing tank. Especially when designing the lining of the mining mixing tank, the use of wear-resistant linings can effectively reduce the degree of wear and extend the service life of the equipment.
In addition, for some special highly corrosive slurries, Zhejiang Golden Machinery Factory will also provide stainless steel or polymer-coated mining mixing tanks according to customer needs. These materials can not only effectively prevent corrosion, but also resist the acid and alkali environment in the slurry, thereby reducing wear on the surface of the equipment.
2. Optimize the agitator design of the mining mixing tank
The agitator is one of the most susceptible parts of the mining mixing tank. The design of the agitator directly affects the fluidity of the slurry and the mixing effect of the minerals. In order to reduce wear, the blade design of the agitator is crucial. Zhejiang Golden Machinery Factory provides various types of agitators, including standard, heavy-duty and wear-resistant agitators, according to the characteristics of different slurries. In the design of the agitator, we use advanced fluid dynamics technology to ensure that the agitator can stir the slurry evenly and reduce the impact and friction of mineral particles.
In addition, the speed of the agitator is also a key factor affecting wear. Excessive stirring speed will increase the friction between the mineral particles in the slurry and the surface of the equipment, thereby accelerating wear. Therefore, Zhejiang Golden Machinery Factory accurately calculates and adjusts the speed of the agitator according to parameters such as slurry concentration, particle size and viscosity to achieve the best stirring effect and reduce wear.
3. Control the concentration and particle distribution of the slurry
The concentration and particle distribution of the slurry have a direct impact on the wear of the mining mixing tank. Excessive slurry concentration or uneven particle distribution will aggravate the wear of the mining mixing tank and the agitator. Zhejiang Golden Machinery Factory recommends that when designing the mining mixing tank, in addition to paying attention to the fluidity of the slurry, the particle distribution of the slurry should also be reasonably adjusted. For example, the content of large particles in the slurry can be reduced by optimizing the slurry classification system, thereby reducing the impact of large particles on the mining mixing tank.
At the same time, for more viscous slurries, Zhejiang Golden Machinery Factory can provide customized mining mixing tank designs, including special heating or cooling equipment to control the viscosity of the slurry, ensure that the agitator can work smoothly, and reduce wear on the equipment.
4. Regular maintenance and inspection
Regular maintenance and inspection are key measures to ensure the long-term and stable operation of the mining mixing tank. By establishing a complete maintenance plan, potential problems of the equipment can be discovered and repaired in time to avoid excessive wear caused by component damage. Zhejiang Golden Machinery Factory provides a detailed equipment maintenance manual and provides regular on-site technical support and maintenance services through long-term cooperation with customers to ensure that the mining mixing tank is always in the best working condition.
For some mining mixing tanks that have been used for many years or are in high-load operation, Zhejiang Golden Machinery Factory also provides upgrade and transformation services to further extend the service life of the equipment by replacing severely worn parts or optimizing performance.
5. Use advanced lubrication system
The design of the lubrication system plays a vital role in preventing wear. Proper lubrication can reduce the friction between the agitator and the slurry, thereby reducing the wear rate. Zhejiang Golden Machinery Factory is equipped with an efficient automatic lubrication system for the mining mixing tank, which can continuously provide lubrication to the agitator and related friction parts during the operation of the mining mixing tank, ensure the smooth operation of each component, and reduce the wear caused by lack of lubrication.
In the mining industry, the mining mixing tank is usually used for operations such as mixing of slurry, mineral extraction and chemical reaction. However, the slurry contains a large number of mineral particles, especially when processing low-grade ores, these particles are easy to precipitate in the mining mixing tank. The sedimentation problem not only affects the working efficiency of the mining mixing tank, causing interruptions in the production process, but also may cause excessive wear of the equipment. How to effectively solve the sedimentation problem in the mining mixing tank of the mine is an important issue that many mining companies must face in the production process.
1. Reasonable design of the agitator of the mining mixing tank
The design of the agitator is crucial to solving the sedimentation problem. The mineral particles in the slurry need to be evenly distributed during the mixing process, otherwise the larger particles will settle to the bottom and form sedimentation. In order to effectively avoid this phenomenon, Zhejiang Golden Machinery Factory pays attention to ensuring the fluidity of the slurry and the uniformity of stirring through reasonable blade layout and angle design when designing the agitator.
By adopting advanced fluid mechanics design principles, Zhejiang Golden Machinery Factory's agitator can provide strong stirring force at low energy consumption to ensure that the particles in the slurry do not settle during the stirring process. Especially for cases with high viscosity or large slurry particles, the optimized agitator can effectively reduce the sedimentation of particles and avoid the formation of sediment at the bottom.
2. Adjust the slurry concentration and particle size distribution
The concentration and particle distribution of the slurry have a direct impact on the formation of precipitation in the mining mixing tank. High-concentration slurry or slurry with large particles is easy to settle in the mining mixing tank. Therefore, in the design process of the mining mixing tank, the concentration and particle size distribution of the slurry must be reasonably adjusted according to the characteristics of the slurry.
Zhejiang Golden Machinery Factory provides a flexible mining mixing tank configuration that can customize the concentration and particle size of the slurry according to the different ore characteristics of customers. By adopting grading equipment such as screening machines and centrifugal separation equipment, larger particles can be effectively separated to prevent them from settling in the mining mixing tank. At the same time, reducing the concentration of the slurry or adjusting the particle distribution of the slurry can significantly improve the fluidity of the mining mixing tank, thereby reducing the occurrence of precipitation.
3. Increase the circulating flow system of the mining mixing tank
In order to solve the problem of precipitation in the slurry, Zhejiang Golden Machinery Factory has designed an efficient circulating flow system. The system maintains a continuous flow state in the mining mixing tank by setting a flow path and a reflux device in the mining mixing tank. Through continuous circulation and flow, the particles in the slurry can be effectively stirred and dispersed, thereby reducing precipitation.
The core of this circulation system is to ensure that the slurry can be evenly distributed throughout the mining mixing tank and avoid stagnation of the slurry in local areas. This design of Zhejiang Golden Machinery Factory greatly improves the efficiency of the mining mixing tank, reduces precipitation in the slurry, and improves the extraction rate of minerals.
4. Optimize the design and drainage system of the mining mixing tank
The bottom precipitation of the mining mixing tank is often related to uneven slurry flow and poor drainage. In order to avoid sediment accumulation, Zhejiang Golden Machinery Factory incorporates a scientific drainage system into the design of the mining mixing tank. By rationally designing the bottom slope and drain position of the mining mixing tank, the slurry can flow smoothly and be discharged in time to prevent sediment accumulation.
In addition, the design of the drain and overflow ports inside the mining mixing tank should be able to be adjusted according to the concentration and particle size of the slurry to achieve the best discharge effect. For some special slurries, Zhejiang Golden Machinery Factory also provides a customized drainage system, which can effectively avoid sedimentation problems caused by poor drainage.
5. Regular cleaning and maintenance
Even if the above measures are adopted, sedimentation problems in the mining mixing tank may still occur, especially during long-term use. Therefore, regular cleaning and maintenance are essential. Zhejiang Golden Machinery Factory recommends that mining companies should regularly inspect and maintain the equipment according to the use of the mining mixing tank, and clean up the sediment in the mining mixing tank in time to avoid long-term effects on the equipment.
In addition, Zhejiang Golden Machinery Factory provides customers with detailed equipment maintenance manuals and on-site technical support to help customers regularly check the status of the mining mixing tank to ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment.
In the mining and metallurgical process, the stirring tank is a key equipment for the core links of slurry mixing, mineral separation, chemical reaction, etc. Its design directly affects the mineral extraction rate. The performance of the stirring tank not only affects the dispersion and reaction rate of mineral particles in the slurry, but also has a profound impact on the mineral enrichment efficiency, the amount of reagents used, energy consumption, etc. Therefore, a reasonable stirring tank design is crucial to improving the mineral extraction rate.
1. The relationship between the agitator design of the stirring tank and the mineral extraction rate
The agitator is one of the most important components in the stirring tank. Its design directly affects the fluidity, mixing uniformity and dispersion of the slurry. The core function of the stirring tank is to evenly stir the mineral particles in the slurry to promote the full reaction of the chemical reagents and the extraction of the minerals. Zhejiang Golden Machinery Factory adopts advanced fluid dynamics principles in the design of the agitator, and optimizes the mixing effect of the stirring tank by reasonably selecting the shape, angle and speed of the blades.
The design requirements of the agitator must not only ensure the uniform mixing of the slurry, but also avoid unnecessary energy consumption caused by excessive stirring of the slurry. Too fast agitation speed may cause excessive wear of mineral particles in the slurry, increase wear loss, and may also cause some mineral particles to agglomerate, affecting the mineral extraction rate. By accurately calculating and adjusting the speed of the agitator, Zhejiang Golden Machinery Factory can effectively avoid these problems, ensure that the minerals can better react with chemical agents, and maximize the mineral extraction rate.
2. The influence of slurry concentration and particle distribution on mineral extraction
Slurry concentration and particle distribution have a direct impact on mineral extraction rate. Too high slurry concentration or uneven particle distribution can easily lead to reduced mineral extraction efficiency. Too high concentration will increase the collision between mineral particles, making it difficult to react evenly, reducing the leaching rate of minerals. Uneven particle distribution will also make it difficult for some large particles to fully react, resulting in mineral loss.
The design of the mining mixing tank of Zhejiang Golden Machinery Factory fully considers the concentration and particle distribution of the slurry. By adopting grading equipment and optimized agitator layout, the slurry concentration and particle size can be effectively controlled, thereby improving the reaction efficiency of the mineral. For example, by equipping the mining mixing tank with a grading screening system, the larger particles in the slurry can be separated from the smaller particles, so that the larger particles can better react with the chemical agent, avoiding precipitation accumulation and incomplete reaction. This can greatly improve the extraction efficiency of minerals and reduce the waste of agents.
3. Fluid mechanics design and reaction time of the mining mixing tank
Fluid mechanics design is one of the key factors in the design of the mining mixing tank. Reasonable fluid mechanics design can ensure that the slurry is evenly stirred and has sufficient residence time in the mining mixing tank, so that the mineral and the chemical agent can fully contact and promote the extraction of minerals. Zhejiang Golden Machinery Factory has designed an optimized mining mixing tank shape through in-depth research on the fluid mechanics of the mining mixing tank, making the slurry flow more smoothly and avoiding the generation of fluid dead corners.
In addition, the optimization of fluid mechanics also involves the control of the residence time of the slurry in the mining mixing tank. By reasonably designing the feed port, discharge port and outlet flow channel of the mining mixing tank, the flow rate and residence time of the slurry are ensured to be in the optimal range. This is crucial to increase the reaction time between the mineral and the agent. Sufficient reaction time can ensure the extraction of more minerals, thereby improving the recovery rate of the mineral.
4. Wear resistance design of the mining mixing tank and equipment life
During the use of the mining mixing tank, the mineral particles in the slurry often cause wear on the equipment, especially in long-term operation, the wear will affect the structure and performance of the mining mixing tank. Excessive wear will not only cause equipment failure, but also affect the extraction efficiency of minerals. Therefore, the wear resistance design of the mining mixing tank is one of the important factors to improve the mineral extraction rate.
Zhejiang Golden Machinery Factory uses highly wear-resistant materials (such as wear-resistant alloys, ceramic coatings, etc.) to manufacture the mining mixing tank and its internal components, which significantly improves the durability of the mining mixing tank. The use of these highly wear-resistant materials can reduce the wear of the equipment, thereby reducing the downtime caused by equipment failure, and improving production continuity and mineral extraction rate. In addition, the design of the mining mixing tank of Zhejiang Golden Machinery Factory is also optimized in structure to avoid excessive friction and wear, ensuring the stability and efficiency of the equipment during long-term operation.
