Equipment Overview

Electrostatic separators are available in two types: ARC Plate Type and Roller Type. They separate conductive minerals from non-conductive ones by leveraging differences in mineral conductivity under the combined forces of electric field, centrifugal force and gravity. The machine is suitable for processing non-ferrous and ferrous ores including zircon, cassiterite, ilmenite, rutile, monazite and beach placer deposits. It removes gangue impurities such as feldspar and quartz. The feed particle size ranges from 0 to 3 mm, with a maximum operating voltage of 60KV. Multiple capacity options are offered to match medium and small-scale mineral processing lines.

Industry Trends & Equipment Advantages

(The quality of mineral products and their market price are determined by processing equipment) The global mineral processing industry is shifting toward water-free dry separation, low energy consumption and higher demand for high-purity concentrates. Traditional wet separation consumes large volumes of water and faces limitations in arid mining zones and beach placer projects. As a dry separation solution, electrostatic separation requires no process water, complying with overseas environmental regulations and meeting production needs in drought-prone regions.

1. Improve concentrate grade and raise mineral product prices. As a cleaning unit, it efficiently removes feldspar, quartz and other impurities to upgrade the purity of zircon sand, rutile and titanium concentrate. In global mineral trade, impurity content is a core pricing factor. High-purity concentrates carry obvious premium prices, and reliable separation equipment guarantees stable output of high-grade ores.
2. Dry process adapts to mining conditions across overseas markets. It generates no tailing wastewater and cuts costs for water treatment and chemical reagents. It helps operators meet environmental requirements in Spain, Africa, the Middle East and other water-scarce areas, avoiding compliance risks related to wet separation discharge permits.
3. Versatile models for small and medium mines. The dual product lines deliver capacities of 1–3 t/h with compact footprints. They can be deployed as downstream cleaning equipment paired with gravity separation systems, supporting modular construction for beach placer, monazite and zircon-titanium ore projects.
4. Controllable operation and maintenance costs. Separation relies purely on physical electric field sorting with zero reagent consumption. The robust machine structure allows adjustable high-voltage parameters for different ore characteristics, stabilizing product quality and mitigating trade discounts caused by inconsistent concentrate quality.

Limitations

It only works for dry fine ore of 0–3 mm, and performs poorly on moist feedstock. The single machine has limited throughput and is designed for concentration cleaning rather than large-volume roughing separation.


The quality of mineral products directly determines sales price. This electrostatic separator upgrades concentrate grade by removing impurities efficiently. Higher purity brings premium pricing in international mineral trading. Two series of models cover capacity from 1 to 3 t/h, compact footprint for small and medium mineral plants. No chemical reagents are consumed during operation, cutting operation cost and stabilizing product consistency.
