The MEP TBS Hydrosizer is a hindered settling classifier, using upward current water and mineral to create a column of teeter in the vessel. The density in the machine is constantly monitored and automatically controlled.
The machine can be set to give a required classification – the larger and heavier particles which concentrate at the bottom of the vessel are discharged through the spigot valves. The finer and lighter particles overflow the weir at the top and are collected in the launder.
The control system gives immediate response to variations in feed rates up to 100%.
The TBS Hydrosizer uses the Teeter Plate system to evenly distribute the upward current water within the machine; this helps to give a controlled and steady condition in the vessel to ensure maximum accuracy.
Product Benefits
- Close Graded Grits
- Good Quality Sands
- Removal of Shale / Pyrites from Coal
- Removal of Lignite from Sand
- High Quality Coking Coals
- Reduce Ash Levels of Coal
Advantages
- Best Seperation Efficiency
- Low Running + Maintenance Costs
- Low Energy Requirement
- Small Footprint
- Less Operator Attention than Spirals etc.
Typical Applications
- The washing and beneficiation of fine coal (-5mm). The TBS Hydrosizer is ideally suited for use in conjunction with any coarse washing device and can significantly improve the throughput and efficiency of the coarse coal circuit.
- It can be used to relieve the load on, or reduce the requirements for flotation equipment. The low installation, maintenance and running costs, coupled with its proven efficiency make Hydrosizing an attractive proposition
- The washing and classification of sands for general or specialist uses, where close control of gradings is required.
Other Applications
MEP has sold over 400 TBS Hydrosizer units worldwide to
countries including: the UK, Australia, China, India, Kazakhstan,
Russia, South Africa, Ukraine and the US.
- Foundry and Glass sands.
- Sports Sands
