DOVE™ Dry Mining Equipment and Machinery (Dry Processing
Plants)
are supplied in two different ranges:
Dry Processing Plants (DPP™), configured
for dry processing of
placer of alluvial applications.
Dry Processing Plants (DPH™), configured for dry processing of
primary or hard
rock applications.
DOVE™ Dry Processing Plants are supplied in fourteen models, with
processing capacities of 50 tons/hour up to 450 tons/hour of dry
ore, per single plant.
APPLICATION:
DOVE™ dry mining equipment and machinery (Dry Minerals
Processing Plants) are designed and configured for
classification,
concentration, separation and recovery of metals and minerals
concentratein dry mode and without the use of water. Dry pro-
cessing has many advantages over wet processing except
when
water is actually required prior to concentration and separation.
DOVE™ dry mining/Dry Processing Plants (DPP™) and (DPH™) are
designed and configured for concentration, separation
and recovery
of diamonds, color gemstones, gold, other precious metals, light
metals
and other heavy metals, either from placer (alluvial) deposits
or primary (hard-rock) applications.
DOVE™ dry mining equipment and machinery (Dry Processing
Plants) are supplied in two different ranges of (DPP™)
configured for
dry processing of placer (alluvial) deposits or the (DPH™) range con-
figured for dry processing of primary deposits (hard-rock). In the
event of placer (alluvial) deposits, the
(DPP™) is installed as is. In
the event of primary deposits, the Dry Trommel is removed and the
(DPHTM) is installed after the rock reduction (crushing/screening/
grinding) plant. The crushed ore is fed
into the (DPH™) screener
module directly by the conveyor system.
ADVANTAGES:
The dry mining equipment and machinery (Processing Plants) pro-
duce higher grade products with less concentrate
loss than wet
concentration methods.
DOVE dry processing plants may be
located anywhere, regardless
of water supply. There is no water to pump or bring from a distance,
therefore eliminating the cost of pipes, pumps and related overhead
costs.
In most cases dry processing plants increase capacity, cuts down on the number
of units
and space necessary, resulting in smaller and less expensive plants
with lower power
costs.
Due to the greater sensitivity to slight differences in density of the particles, DPPTM
Processing Plant will successfully treat ores which are not amenable to wet concentration
in the gravity separation methods.
Dry ore may be efficiently separated
at the economical releasing point of the minerals,
thus making sure the resulting
products are dry and are handled, shipped and marketed
at a lower cost than
wet processing methods.
Since no water is needed to produce separation,
climate conditions will not affect efficient
operation.
