KRTC has a full pilot facility for testing bulk mineral samples through the Knelson Continuous Variable Discharge Concentrator (CVD).

The continuous concentrator is applicable to high mass yield applications that typically range between 1 and 30%. The mass yield is completely controllable from zero to 100%. The pilot facility can currently handle testing feed percentage solids between 10 and 40%.

The pilot facility consists of 2 large agitated sample tanks, pumps, piping, and a pilot CVD6. A full range of support equipment including size analysis, sample-drying equipment etc, supports the pilot plant.

CVD testing is custom work and requires consultation with KRTC's staff.

CVD testing is performed at a pilot scale and requires at least 500 kg of sample. Particle size should not exceed 2mm. It is the responsibility of the client to provide a sample that is representative of the stream to be tested.

"It must be noted that the Knelson Concentrator only treated a partial stream of the secondary cyclone underflow, being a test unit. Results would be far better if the total stream had to be passed through the Knelson Concentrator."

"The effective performance of the unit was under estimated originally. Any gold processing plant, treating ore containing free gold, fine or coarse, should select a Knelson to treat the total stream."

"The installation of the Knelson proved to be a profitable and valuable project in terms of improving the overall plant recovery and data gathering for the design of the gravity circuit on the new Target Metallurgical Processing Plant."

"Although difficult to ascertain the exact influence of the Knelson Concentrator on the overall recovery of Loraine Plant, due to changing plant feed grades and tonnages, it is fair to assume an overall plant recovery increase of no less than 3%." - Gerald E Olivier, Plant Manager- Avgold Target Division, Loraine Metallurgical Plant, South Africa ...more > >
