Spiral concentrators are gravity-based and used to separate low-density granular and sandy (from 18 mesh to 200 mesh—1 mm to 0.0757 μm) materials from higher-density materials. Spiral concentrators are used in many mineral processing applications. For instance, they're used to process heavy mineral sand deposits, more specifically …
Spiral concentration technology is a cost effective way of separating materials according to density, particle size and shape.

MECHANISMS OF CONCENTRATION IN A SPIRAL CONCENTRATOR The spiral concentrator essentially consists of an oblique helical conduit of a number of turns. As in any flowing film concentration process, vertical stratification of the flowing film down the spiral conduit can be related to the following defined sorting processes -- the …
The characteristic of scaly graphite ore is that the graphite is in the shape of scales or leaves, the raw ore grade is not high (generally 3% to 5%), and the highest is not more than 20% to 25%. This type of graphite has good flotation-ability, and after flotation, the grade can reach more than 90%, so the raw ore grade can be mined at 2% …
One spiral concentrator occupies about 0.37 m2 (4 ft2) of floor space and about 2.1 m (7 ft) of headroom measured from feed to discharge box. The optimum particle-size range of feed particles for spirals is about 10 to 200 mesh (2 to 0.074 mm). As the feed slurry flows down the spiral channel, the particles with the highest specific gravity ...

The design parameters that govern the performance of the spiral can be identified as the diameter, number of turns, slope, pitch and the profile of the trough. For an efficient separation on a spiral concentrator, the properties of the slurry flowing on a spiral, ore texture, percent solids and flow rate play important roles."
The main separation mechanisms described in literature are presented in this paper, as well as the design variables, that are of fundamental importance with respect to the achievement of a better efficiency for the processing of different types of ores or different stages in the process.
