Efficient separation, simpler circuits and better control. We know these are goals you strive to achieve in your coal preparation plants. Our Spiral Coal Concentrators are simple in theory, simple to operate – and they work.
What we offer
Optimise your fine coal cleaning requirements
In your fine coal washing circuits, achieving a sharper separation means reducing your coal product loss and gaining better yields of low-ash coal. We can help you simplify your circuits, making them easy to operate, leading you to more throughout per unit, better utilisation of your manpower, and an overall higher-quality product.
Spiral coal concentrators use the specific gravity of materials with different densities to separate coal, and produce a low-ash coal product at high efficiency. Our high-performance Coal Spirals deliver a feed capacity of 2 STPH to 3 STPH (1.8 mtph to 2.7 mtph) per start, dependent on raw coal quality and refuse amount to be discarded. Optimum spiral feed size is -1 mm to 0.15 mm (14 M x 100 M).
Featuring a new collection boot design with vortex breaker, these Coal Spirals provide longer wear life and allow you to simultaneously position all cutters – there’s no need to reach into the helix to adjust. The mechanism allows positive lockout once your selection is made, and a revised internal profile assures that no material will be misplaced into other product streams. The internal rotation breaker reduces wear on boot assembly.
We offer a comprehensive range of Coal Spiral units in complete modular designs, which reduce floorspace requirements, and simplify installation and replacement. Modular systems include support framework, feed distribution system and product piping system.
Constructed of wear- and corrosion-resistant materials, choose from single-, double- and triple-start configurations. Our comprehensive range of spiral units also include single-pass or rougher/cleaner compound designs that allow rewashing of coal in a second-stage spiral helix that is immediately following the primary spiral.
Key benefits
Reduce your costs and improve coal quality
Simple, efficient and cost-effective
Our Coal Spiral Concentrators are designed to produce a low-ash coal product at high efficiency while rejecting a high-ash refuse stream.
Reduced product misplacement
The recessed cutter position locks in place, enhancing separation for reduced product misplacement.
Longer wear life
The recessed cutter position locks in place, enhancing separation for reduced product misplacement.
