The composition of barite is BaSO₄ and it plays an important part in industries of bob-weight, oil well etc. Most barite ore needs further upgrading for industrial using, and here Forui will share some barite upgrading plant with you. The following is a picture of barite beneficiation test:

Gravity separation is the main upgrading plant for barite ore dressing according to the density difference between barite and impurities with its good separation efficiency and high recovery. As the most common barite ore dressing separator, it is easy to operate, and friendly to environment. The barite concentrator by gravity separation is jigger. Forui has different models of barite upgrading plant as follow:

1. Coarse barite ore dressing machine
Coarse barite concentrate can be needed sometimes and here direct separation will be needed to get high grate barite blocks. Forui jig concentrators of AM30 and 2LTC912/4A are for coarse barite separation. AM30 jigger is for granules of 8-30 while 2LTC912/4A is for size of 30-50mm with the great beneficiation efficiency, high recovery rate, and large treatment capacity. And both jiggers are the most common barite ore dressing separator in barite separation market. More can be lerant by clicking the following pictures.

2.  Medium and fine barite granule ore dressing machine
There are also some medium and fine barite granularities besides coarse barite blocks in the raw barite ore or barite after crushing and these medium and fine barite can be used in different fields. To maximize the profit from the barite upgrading, upgrading of medium and fine barite by removing the impurities can be needed. The jig separators for medium and fine barite separation re jiggers of  2LTC6109/8T and LTA1010/2. 2LTC6109/8T jigger is kind of trapezoidal jig separator with four independent jigging slots, it can concentrate barite of 0-8mm with its long jigging distance with its upgrading efficiency, recovery rate better than  other jiggers and it is kind of best upgrading plant for 0-10 mm. LTA1010/2 jig concentrator is kind of down-driving cone jigging machine for barite size of 0-5mm. This jigger needs small area to work and its price is low, and it is very suitable for small barite separation factory. The jiggers are shown as below:

3.  Barite ore log washing machine
The content of clay in barite ore decides whether a log washer is needed. For barite ore with small percentage clay, simple screening and washing can be ok while for barite ore with a lot of clay, ore washing machine will be involved. And the common ore washing machine for barite is rotary washing machine and groove ore washing machine.

Forui jig upgrading plant has been widely used in barite ore dressing. Forui can supply the whole barite processing line of vibrating screen, jig separator, dewatering screen, log washer, etc. and free ore dressing test can be available with samples available. The following is about the barite upgrading site in Sanmenxia, China.
