The Falcon C continuous series, which consumes no additional process water, is used for recovering fine metals and minerals from tailings (flotation or leach), or pre-concentrating of plant feed (either fresh ore or old tailing dumps).

The continuous concentrators have been installed for recovering lead, tin, tantalum, gold, silver, coal, iron ore and their associated minerals.

Significant advantages over competing equipment are lower capital, operating and maintenance costs.

The Continuous Concentrator

Recovering FINE metals and minerals from process streams has always been difficult. With the Falcon ‘C’ series, its design simplicity and 300 G-force, this has made the historically impossible process possible.

Designed never to stop, it continuously produces concentrate yielding weight recoveries as high as 40%. The primary objective with this series is to maximise recovery and reduce weight to subsequent down stream processes. This makes the units perfect for scavenging or pre-concentrating streams, as it uses no elutriation water and produces concentrates that are de-slimed and de-watered (+70% solids by mass).

The Falcon model ‘C’ concentrator is normally utilised where separation of a relatively small amount of fine heavy material (underflow) from a relatively large amount of lighter gangue is required. With the feed stream particles subjected to gravitational forces of up to 300 G’s, effective recovery of even very fine particles (below 10 microns) is achieved.

One moving part and top grade component materials such as 316 stainless steel, rubber, polyurethane, tungsten carbide and Ni-hard, mean that you can look forward to greater than 95% operational availability as well as low operating costs.
