Best Selling 1200 Wet Pan Mills for Gold Ore Grinding

Why is the 1200-Type Wet Pan Mill a Star Product in Gold Ore Grinding?

In gold ore beneficiation processes, grinding is a crucial step in releasing encapsulated gold and achieving liberation of inpidual particles. Faced with a wide variety of gold ores with varying hardness (such as quartz vein type and altered rock type), choosing an efficient, stable, and economical grinding equipment is essential. Among numerous equipment options, the 1200-type wet pan mill, with its superior performance and wide applicability, has become the best-selling model for small and medium-sized gold ore processing plants worldwide. As a mining equipment manufacturer with 20 years of professional experience, we will provide you with an in-depth analysis of this golden grinding tool.

Equipment Overview and Core Working Principle

The 1200-type wet pan mill typically refers to a model with a grinding pan diameter of 1200 millimeters. It combines the functions of grinding, mixing, and crushing, and is a classic gold ore grinding equipment. Its core working principle is: the motor drives the central vertical shaft through a reducer, causing two heavy grinding rollers to roll on a horizontally rotating grinding pan. The ore, mixed with water (wet grinding), is fed from the inlet, and subjected to immense compressive and shearing forces between the grinding rollers and the grinding pan, resulting in crushing and grinding. The qualified slurry overflows from the edge of the grinding pan, completing the grinding process. This structure is simple and durable, and is particularly suitable for processing gold ore, which often contains heavy minerals and requires continuous and stable grinding.

Core Advantages of the 1200-Type Wet Pan Mill in Gold Ore Applications

1. High Investment and Operating Cost-Effectiveness

Compared with large ball mills, the 1200-type wet pan mill has a lower initial investment, simpler installation foundation, and lower infrastructure costs. Its energy consumption is relatively low, and wear parts (such as grinding rollers and grinding pan liners) are easy to replace, resulting in controllable long-term operating and maintenance costs, providing investors with excellent cost-effectiveness.

2. Excellent Grinding Performance and Guaranteed Recovery Rate

This equipment has a unique grinding-compression effect on gold ore, effectively liberating finely disseminated gold particles while also producing a certain flaking effect, which is beneficial for subsequent cyanidation or gravity separation recovery. Its product particle size is uniform, with minimal over-grinding, maximizing the protection of liberated gold particles and laying the foundation for improving the overall gold ore recovery rate.

3. Robust and Durable, Highly Adaptable

The robust structural design can withstand the impact of small amounts of hard objects such as iron that may be mixed in the ore. Excellent sealing performance effectively prevents slurry leakage. Whether grinding hard rock ore or placer gold ore, the 1200-type wet disc mill demonstrates excellent adaptability, ensuring continuous and stable production.

Success Story Sharing: Witnessing Value from Customer Practice

In a medium-sized quartz vein gold mine project in Africa, the customer initially used traditional crushing followed by direct cyanidation, resulting in unsatisfactory leaching rates. We recommended a grinding solution of jaw crusher + cone crusher + 1200-type wet disc mill. After installing two 1200-type wet disc mills in parallel, the ore was ground to -200 mesh at 85%, significantly improving the degree of gold liberation. The subsequent cyanidation leaching rate increased from the original 75% to over 92%, and the customer recovered their equipment investment in just 8 months. This fully demonstrates the powerful capability of the 1200-type wet disc mill in improving the economic efficiency of gold ore beneficiation.

Related Equipment Recommendation: Building an Efficient Gold Ore Beneficiation Production Line

A complete gold ore processing line is more than just grinding. We recommend scientifically matching the 1200-type wet disc mill with the following equipment to maximize its effectiveness:

• Pre-crushing equipment: PE series jaw crushers, spring/hydraulic cone crushers, to achieve efficient coarse and medium crushing.

• Classification equipment: Spiral classifier or hydrocyclone, forming a closed-circuit system with the disc mill to control the final product particle size.

• Separation Equipment: Nelson/Falcon centrifugal concentrators, shaking tables (for gravity separation); leaching and adsorption tanks, electrolytic cells (for cyanide gold extraction).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the typical processing capacity of a 1200-type wet pan mill for gold ore?

A1: The capacity is significantly affected by ore hardness, feed particle size, and target fineness. When processing medium-hard gold ore, with a target fineness of approximately 80% passing -200 mesh, the processing capacity of a single 1200-type wet pan mill is approximately 1.5-2.5 tons/hour. Multiple units can be operated in parallel to meet higher capacity requirements.

Q2: What is the lifespan of the key wear-resistant parts of the wet pan mill?

A2: The grinding rollers and grinding disc liners are the main wear parts. We use high-chromium alloy or special wear-resistant cast iron for their manufacture. Under standard gold ore grinding conditions, their service life typically reaches 6-12 months, depending on the abrasiveness of the ore. We provide original spare parts to ensure that performance is like new after replacement.

Q3: Are the equipment's operation and maintenance requirements high?

A3: Operation is very simple, basically achieving one-button start and stop (feeding - adding water - running). Daily maintenance mainly focuses on checking the lubrication system and fasteners. We provide detailed English operation manuals, on-site installation guidance, and remote video support to ensure that customer employees can quickly master the operation.
