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.
"At the world's richest gold mine, where everyday I see nuggets the size of hazelnuts, once a week the size of plums, and one every other month (today) the size of watermelons, your concentrator is an invaluable tool in our recovery efforts."
