1. The Challenge
A gold mining site in Ghana struggled with raw ore that had high clay content. The clay was sticking to the ore and clogging the downstream crushers, causing frequent downtime and a 20% loss in processing efficiency. They needed a way to wash the ore and remove the fines before secondary crushing.
2. HSM Solution
HSM designed a GTS1550 Wash-Integrated Trommel Screen. Key modifications included:
- Internal Spray Bars: High-pressure nozzles to thoroughly scrub the ore as it tumbled.
- PU Screen Panels: Polyurethane mesh was selected for its high wear resistance and superior desliming properties.
3. The Result
| Throughput: |
Maintained a steady 150 m³/h |
| Efficiency: |
Removed 98% of adhering clay/slimes |
| ROI: |
Downtime reduced by 40%, equipment life extended |
