Q1: What is the maximum recovery rate for fine gold particles?
Our STLB Centrifugal Concentrators are engineered to capture gold particles as small as 0.074mm (200 mesh). In optimized environments, the recovery rate for fine gold can reach up to 98%, significantly higher than traditional sluice boxes.
Q2: How does the system handle high-clay (“sticky”) deposits?
Clay binding is the most common cause of gold loss. We utilize heavy-duty Trommel Scrubbers equipped with high-pressure internal spray bars and aggressive lifters to ensure complete disintegration of clay balls before the material reaches the concentration stage.
Q3: Is the equipment suitable for remote or harsh mining environments?
Yes. All APEX equipment is built to ISO 9001 and CE standards. We use reinforced steel frames, wear-resistant manganese screen plates, and high-torque industrial motors designed to operate 24/7 in demanding conditions across Africa, Southeast Asia, and South America.
Q4: Does APEX provide custom plant layouts?
Absolutely. We provide turnkey engineering services. Based on your ore sample analysis and terrain requirements, our engineers will design a customized 2D/3D plant layout to ensure optimal gravity flow and material handling efficiency.
Q5: What are the power and water requirements?
Requirements vary by processing capacity (Tons Per Hour). For example, a standard 50 TPH plant typically requires a centralized water supply of 150-200 m³/h. We can configure our systems for low-energy consumption to accommodate sites running on diesel generators.
