Fluorite ore is mainly composed of calcium fluoride, which is used in metallurgy and chemical industry. The fluorite ore in metallurgical industry is called metallurgical fluorite ore or high grade fluorite ore with granular or lump shape. And the chemical fluorite ore is mainly used for making hydrofluoric acid, called acid fluorspar ore which is powdered fluorite ore with high grade. We would like to introduce the production flow of metallurgical fluorite ore dressing for your reference. The following is about some fluorite ore dressing site:

The metallurgical fluorite ore mostly has a granular shape, which require the ore dressing equipment has the ability to deal with the coarse-grained fluorite ore to get the granular or bulk ore. Forui jig separator is a professional ore dressing equipment to separate the particles like or lump ore with big sorting grain size range 0-50mm. And the gravity separator is the best choice for fluorite ore dressing. The fluorite ore dressing flow goes with gravity separation flow. In the metallurgical fluorite ore dressing, Forui suggests a flow chart including mining equipments like jaw crusher, virating screen, jig separator and dewatering screen.            Here is metallurgical fluorite ore production flow chart:
 

1. Crushing
The metallurgical fluorite ore for concentration shall be granular fluorite ore with high quality, but fluorite ore is brittle, so the crushing processes must has the ability to break the ore into appropriate particles which can be fed into mining equipment appropriately, and the crushing equipment does not produce too much powder. Jaw crusher is a good choice for fluorite ore crushing. We use PE and PEX jaw crusher for coarse crushing and fine crushing in the crushing process, which is able to crush the ore into particle size that suitable for jig conentration, preparing for sorting processes and concentrate.

2. Screening
The screening equipment shall be slected according to the situation of fluorite ore. If the crude ore has large amount of mud and strong viscosity, Forui recommends drum sreen to reduce the clogging of the sieve, because the drum screen with water also can be used as ore washing machine. If the ore is without mud or rock ore with very low water content, we adopt mining equipment-circular vibrating screen for screening. The process use vibrating sreen and the screened materials particle size can be divide into three standard: 0-8mm, 8-30mm and the material whose particle size is more than 30mm is back and broken again.

3. Concentration
The metallurgical fluorite ore shall be granular or block concentrate ore, which should only use gravity separator for its benefication. The jigger machine in the flow are of different types which can deal with 0-8mm and 8-30mm particle size in the fluorite ore washing. To improve the indicators and capacity, Forui recommends to set a hopper and feeder before the jigger machine in order to ensure the normal and stable oparation.

4. Dehydration
The jig machine use water as beneficiation media, so the discharged concentrate or tailings has high water content. It needs dehydration operations. Forui propose to adopt the efficient dewatering screen which can largely reduce the water content of the mineral surface. And the excess water is back to the circulating pool for resue.

Use the right ore dressing equipment for different ore dressing process. In the fluorite ore dressing process, gravity separation machine is the key equipment. Forui jig machine can be used as gold concentrator, tin extraction machine, iron seprator, manganese separator, etc. You won't fail to get the right jigging gravity separator in Forui Machinery.
