The Mozley Multi-Gravity Separator is an enhanced gravity device for the separation of fine particles down to one micron size. The rotating action of the drum provides a high gravity force which pins the heavy particles to the drum surface to be removed via the drum scrappers. The shaking motion combined with the selective use of water gives an excellent cleaning effect for maximum particle concentration. The model C900 is used to perform tests and was designed to treat up to 200 kg/h and is well suited for particles from 1.0 mm down to 1 micron in size. The model C902 Multi-Gravity separator is also available for higher capacity industrial applications.
By increasing the total drum area of the standard Multi-Gravity Separator from 3.7 m2 to 20 m2, capacities of 25 t/h and 50t/h per machine may be readily achieved for heavy mineral and coal. Moreover, the geometry of the drum also allows permutations in scraper arrangements which will extend the capacity still further. In essence, the Mozley is like a powerful compact shaking table where the traditionally horizontal surface is wrapped into a conical drum, which, when rapidly rotates, develops an enhanced gravitational field suitable for the recovery of ultra fines particles. Particles fed into the unit are separated within a dynamic thin film of water many times the force of gravity. Once the parameters are se, minimal operator attention is required to achieve efficient separation performance.
The main benefits are: selectivity, can treat very fine material (down to one micron), low power consumption, continuous operation, no batch discharge, can separate particles with specific gravity differences as low as 0.5 and replace slime deck table. The unit may be used to upgrade flotation concentrates, concentration of gold, recovery of fine metallics, graphite cleaning, coal desulphurization and soil remediation.
