Falcon 'UF' Ultra Fine Gravity Concentrators
Up to 600 G's, mineral recovery below 5 microns
Ultra fine mineral recovery has been an industry goal for many years. With Sepro's Falcon UF line of concentrators, there is now a way to economically recover and upgrade mineral particles as fine as 3 microns by applying gravitational forces of up to 600 G’s.
The primary objective of the Falcon UF Concentrator is to scavenge ultra fine mineral particles that are typically rejected from plant processes as slimes. The UF Concentrator operates best in streams of low solids density with all particles below 100 microns: typically the condition found in a deslime cyclone overflow.
Using a variable lip controlled by air pressure, the Falcon UF Concentrator is extremely flexible in operation and can vary mass pull to concentrate from 0-100%. Such flexibility allows for a wide range of metallurgical operation from high recovery to high upgrade. Operating UF machines in rougher cleaner or rougher scavenger configurations can
provide an almost unlimited range of possibilities.
Gravity recovery down to 3 microns!
APPLICATIONS & INSTALLATIONS
- Recovery of ultrafine mineral slimes (tin, tantalum, tungsten, etc.)
- Scavenging from deslime cyclone overflow
- High recovery upgrade of fine flotation concentrates
KEY ADVANTAGES
- High gravitational forces (up to 600 G’s) allow recovery of ultra fine particles
- No process water consumption during concentration
- Variable mass pull to concentrate from 0-100%
- VFDs and dynamic brakes used to greatly reduce offline time for rinsing
- Greater than 95% mechanical availability, extremely low operating costs and 20,000 hour bearing guarantee
- Small footprint
- Fully automated, "one touch" operation that provides the least amount of offline time and highest possible concentrate security
