Achieve highest coarse and fine gold recovery with a Knelson gravity concentrator

Key equipment features

GX concentrating cone

Our patented GX concentrating cone lies at the heart of our latest-generation Knelson QS concentrators, an innovative step in metallurgical performance. Zone separator nozzles provide effective control and distribution of fluidisation water across the entire cone, facilitating the highest possible recovery of coarse and fine gold.

Tangential water distribution

The GX cone features tangential introduction of fluidized water into the concentrating rings, avoiding ratholing and dead spots. It also allows thorough flushing of the unit without the need for expensive and unnecessary variable frequency drives.  

Designed to eliminate vibration

We designed the Knelson gravity concentrator with a low centre of gravity and to be hung rather than supported from below, eliminating overall vibration. In contrast, similar products on the market can face problems with vibration if the feed is not properly diluted. 

Low number of parts

Knelson gravity concentrators are designed to reduce component parts, simplify construction, and reduce manufacturing time. These measures cut maintenance costs without impacting recovery rates or capacity.  

Maintenance & Service of our gravity concentrators

Our Aftermarket Department offers reliable and timely supply of spares and wear parts, ensuring minimal downtime and optimal equipment performance. Our specialists are also readily available to provide ongoing operational support. Whether it’s technical advice, troubleshooting or circuit optimization, we work closely with mine site teams to ensure the longevity and efficiency of the equipment throughout its lifecycle.   

Additionally, we offer comprehensive support services, including circuit audits, preventive maintenance programs, training for mine operators and maintenance personnel, and detailed reporting on equipment performance. Our goal is to help maximise productivity, minimise downtime, and ensure the safe and efficient operation of our clients’ mining assets.
