By leveraging gravity separation techniques and implementing pre-concentration measures to reduce initial mass, Gekko’s streamlined processes not only boost the grade for downstream intensive processing but also maximise the recovery of precious minerals like gold.
Recovering minerals as they liberate or removing gangue as it liberates is a key strategy in increasing recovery, increasing pre-concentration and reducing energy consumption in mills.
Gekko Systems designed, manufactured and installed the gravity box package at the Ma’aden – Ad Duwayhi mine
Traditionally, grinding ore to fine particles has been considered essential for optimal recovery rates. However, Gekko’s game-changing continuous gravity recovery device – the continuous InLine Pressure Jig (IPJ) has changed this thinking. The IPJ efficiently separates coarse mineral-bearing particles and gangue from the feed material without the need for extensive grinding, consistently delivering exceptional recovery rates.
Determining the mineralogy of an ore material is critical for optimising the operation of a gravity circuit. Whether the mineral is free or occluded with other sulphides, or whether multiple liberating particle sizes exist, will help determine the optimal gravity flowsheet design for the best recovery of mineral.
Gekko’s Gravity Box installations have achieved success globally, showcasing the versatility and efficacy of this gravity-based solutions. Both continuous gravity and batch gravity “gravity box” designs are available. For tailored gravity flowsheet design optimised for maximum mineral recovery, reach out to Gekko Systems: Contact
