[Citation 67 ...
By the 1950's, spirals were the standard primary wet gravity separation unit in the Australian mineral sands industry.

Principles and Methods of Gravity Separation. Gravity separation processes can be broadly categorized into four main types:-Heavy medium separation (H.M.S. Baths, cyclones, etc.) Stratification in a pulsed or moving dense bed (Jigs). Film sizing with a thin flowing liquid film (Vanners, frames, etc.)

Gravity separation of fine heavy minerals in the size range 1.5 to 0.04 mm may be conducted on spiral concentrators. Spiral plants may consist of multiple stage spirals, depending on the mineral being recovered and the product requirements. Multotec …
Spirals are gravity concentrators used for the concentration of coal, iron oxide ore and heavy minerals. ... Gravity separation units exploit the difference between the specific gravities of the ...
The difference between a gravity concentrator and the other gravity separation devices previously discussed is the ability to increase the forces on the mineral particles that improve the particles' settling in a water medium. Instead of relying on one G force (the force of gravity), a spinning device, like a centrifuge, can increase the ...
Gravity separation, a technique that separates particles based on their differences in density, is widely used in coal cleaning due to the simplicity of its operation, low cost, and high efficiency. ...

During separation, the slurry enters the spiral through a feed box and then flows on to the spiral surface. As the slurry travels down the spiral, mineral grains settle and sort according to size, shape, and specific gravity. Spiral separation uses a flowing film principle based on the size and specific gravity difference present in a mineral ...
The Humphreys Spiral Concentrator is a simple, efficient gravity concentrator which effects a separation between minerals of the proper size range that have sufficient difference in their specific gravity.
