Spiral chutes are gravity-based separation equipment used to separate minerals based on density differences. They are commonly used for coal, iron ore, chromite, and other mineral beneficiation processes.
Engineering Overview
Metzix Gravity Spiral Concentrators are cost-effective, high-capacity separation units that exploit differential density, centrifugal force, and fluid shear without consuming electrical energy. Slurry descends helical fiberglass troughs, causing heavier particles to migrate inward while lighter minerals wash towards the outer perimeter. With precisely engineered pitch angles, custom splitter cutters, and durable polyurethane wear linings, Metzix spirals achieve razor-sharp mineral cut points across fine particles from 0.03 mm to 2.0 mm.
