High-Efficiency Zircon-Titanium Processing Equipment Reshapes Heavy Mineral Sand Industry

Zirconium and titanium are strategic raw materials vital for aerospace, nuclear power and ceramics. Global beach sand mineral processing faces four major challenges: finer ore particle size, complex associated minerals, stricter environmental regulations and low mineral recovery rates. Outdated conventional equipment suffers from poor separation accuracy, excessive water and power consumption, and severe loss of valuable metals, greatly squeezing mining profits. Premium integrated high-efficiency mineral processing machinery stands as the core driver to cut costs, boost productivity and realize sustainable green development across the sector.

High-performance mineral separation equipment delivers three pivotal benefits to the whole industry. Firstly, it drastically improves resource utilization. Combined gravity separation and dry/wet magnetic separation technologies raise the overall recovery rate of ilmenite and zircon by 15%–28%, while fully recovering by-products like monazite and garnet to ease the global shortage of zircon-titanium resources. Secondly, it enables energy and water conservation for eco-friendly operation. Dry magnetic separators consume zero process water, and high-efficiency screening & vacuum filter units reduce tailings moisture content, cutting investment in water treatment facilities and chemical reagents to comply with global mining environmental standards. Thirdly, the automated integrated lines support continuous large-scale production, cutting labor input, stabilizing concentrate grade, strengthening product bargaining power and extending mine service life.

Hainan Ant Zirconium-Titanium Mining Technology Co., Ltd. specializes in full-line equipment R&D for heavy mineral sand separation. Its complete product portfolio covers gravity separation, dry & wet magnetic separation, screening, dewatering and filtration, fully compatible with domestic and overseas beach sand & inland zircon-titanium mineral projects.

1. Core Gravity Separation Equipment: Spiral chutes and double-deck shaking tables feature large throughput and low energy consumption, with rough tailings discarding rate over 85%. Preceding high-efficiency classification screens accurately separate particle fractions to prevent fine valuable mineral loss.
2. Dry & Wet Magnetic Separator Series: GTS-B wet ilmenite separators, GTGM-A dry titanium separators and GTGM-B dry high-intensity magnetic separators for zircon-rutile form a tiered separation system with adjustable magnetic field strength, precisely separating minerals with subtle magnetic differences. Dry-type units suit water-scarce mining zones with zero water consumption.
3. Complete Screening & Dewatering Units: Linear wet classification screens, composite vibrating screens and trommel screens deliver multi-stage classification; disc vacuum filters, horizontal belt vacuum filters and belt filter presses achieve rapid dewatering for compliant dry tailings discharge. Supporting belt conveyors, flotation cells and spiral classifiers form fully integrated processing lines.
