04 / 07 EQUIPMENT GUIDES
Mineral separation
Work with the properties of the ore. Flotation, magnetic and gravity separation for tested mineral-processing duties.
Flotation machines
A flotation machine helps separate minerals by bringing suitably conditioned particles into contact with air bubbles. The process depends on mineral surface behavior, reagents and testwork, rather than density alone.
Explore equipment ↗SELECTION GUIDE / 14Wet drum magnetic separators
A wet drum magnetic separator recovers strongly magnetic particles from slurry using a magnetic field inside a rotating drum. Magnetite processing and suitable dense-medium recovery duties are common application contexts.
Explore equipment ↗SELECTION GUIDE / 15Wet high-intensity magnetic separators
A wet high-intensity magnetic separator, or WHIMS, separates suitably responsive weakly magnetic particles from slurry. High-gradient designs use a matrix to create strong local field gradients in the separation zone.
Explore equipment ↗SELECTION GUIDE / 16Jig concentrators
A jig concentrator separates particles through repeated water pulsation that promotes density stratification. It is a gravity-separation option when the valuable mineral is liberated and has a useful density contrast with the gangue.
Explore equipment ↗SELECTION GUIDE / 17Shaking tables
A shaking table uses a sloping, reciprocating deck and flowing water to separate liberated particles by their combined density, size and transport behavior. It is often considered for gravity cleaning and small product streams.
Explore equipment ↗SELECTION GUIDE / 18Centrifugal concentrators
A centrifugal concentrator applies an enhanced gravitational field to separate suitable high-density particles. It is commonly evaluated for gravity-recoverable gold and other tested gravity duties.
Explore equipment ↗SELECTION GUIDE / 19Spiral concentrators
A spiral concentrator separates suitably liberated particles in a flowing slurry on a helical trough. It uses gravity and flow behavior to divide the stream into products with different mineral concentrations.

Are all 30 categories suitable for every mine?
No. Mineralogy, ore testing, production targets and site conditions determine the equipment route. Several categories are alternatives rather than machines that every project needs.
What should an overseas buyer include in an RFQ?
Provide the material or ore, feed and product targets, throughput, operating hours, destination, utilities and site conditions. Include testwork or drawings where available, and list the required shipping, inspection and commissioning scope.
Where do the technical descriptions come from?
Each equipment page links to a primary manufacturer reference for technology context. KMS adds original selection questions and procurement checklists. Referenced brands do not imply a dealership or an offer for that manufacturer’s specific model.
