Dewatering Screen Is an Important Beneficiation Equipment for Wet Mineral Beneficiation

As for wet mineral beneficiation, dewatering is a vital process. The purpose of dewatering is for the moisture removal in mineral particles. Why dewatering is needed? Firstly, this is done to get ore and concentrates to be transported easily, allow further processing to be done smoothly and to dispose of the gangue. The main beneficiation equipment that are used in dewatering include dewatering screens, sedimentation, filtering, and thermal drying. The smaller the particle size, the more need in difficulty and cost.

Dewatering screen operates by passing particles over a screen. The mineral particles pass over the dewatering screen while the water leaks through the apertures in the screen. This process is only suitable for coarse ores which have a close size distribution because the apertures can allow small particles to pass though and are not able to be used for the dewatering of small particles.

Dewatering screen has wide application in mineral processing fields for the beneficiation of coarse and medium particles minerals such as barite, fluorite, hematite, limonite, mirrors, iron ore, manganese ore, etc. Dewatering screen is a beneficiation equipment with big capacity, low cost, green, easy operation and so on.

Forui Machinery suggests that users should choose dewatering screen, sedimentation, filtering, thermal drying or other dewatering method according to the particle size. Right beneficiation equipment helps a lot in working efficiency. Forui provides dewatering screens with single or double layers. And the size of dewatering screen can be customized.
