Utah’s gold mining industry relies heavily on efficient crushing and screening systems to maximize ore recovery. As a professional in aggregate processing equipment, we understand the unique challenges of hard rock gold ore processing – from primary crushing to final concentrate production.
A typical Utah gold processing plant requires these key components:
1. Primary Jaw Crusher
– Feed size: ≤1200mm
– Capacity: 500-2000 tph
– Discharge: 150-300mm
– Recommended models: C160, CJ815 (with reinforced frames for abrasive ores)
2. Secondary Cone Crushers
– Closed-side settings: 19-38mm
– Crushing chambers: Medium-coarse for gold ore
– Special tungsten carbide liners for quartz-rich material
3. Tertiary Vertical Shaft Impactors (VSI)
– Rock-on-rock configuration preferred
– Throughput: 300-800 tph
– Final product shaping for improved leaching efficiency
| Equipment | Model | Power(kW) | Max Feed(mm) | Output Size(mm) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary Crusher | C160 | 250 | 1200 | 150-300 | |
| Cone Crusher | CH870i | 600 | 350 | 19-38 | |
| Tertiary VSI | B9100SE | 400×2 | 65 | Cubical ≤10mm | |
| Screening Plant</trd | TIO7203D | 400 | NA | 3-5 deck configurations |
At Bingham Canyon Mine:
– Installed capacity: 50,000 tpd crushed material
– Three-stage crushing circuit reduces ore from 1.5m to ≤12
