SBM’s Closed-circuit Cone Crusher for Gold Processing

SBM has long been known for high quality, technology-driven products that yield consistent performance. Our revolutionary closed-circuit cone crusher builds further on that reputation. It is the first high production, closed circuit design that expands the use of hydraulic systems to create rapid mobility and superior maintenance, no disassembly required.

Unique Features

This achievement is accomplished with the use of two unique hydraulically powered systems. First, hydraulically folding the plant feeding conveyor reduces travel height and allows vertical access into the cone crusher. With the conveyor out of the way, replacing cone liners is much easier. Second, SBM has combined the fines conveyor and triple deck screen into one common module that lowers into the chassis for travel. These two hydraulic systems combine to yield a travel height of 13 ft. 6 in. and yet unfold into an operating mode in under five minutes.

Practice has proved that the SBM’s closed-circuit cone crusher is unique in gold processing due to its mobility, unequaled maintenance access and consistent performance— an outstanding value for owners of gold quarry.

Overview of Australia’s Gold Industry

Global gold production has grown progressively over the past few years, with over 2,600 tonnes estimated to have been produced globally in 2010. As a large gold producer, Australia has produced more than 240 tonnes, approximately accounting for 9.0% of the whole production in the world in 2010. Here we focus on Australia’s gold industry, from three aspects, including the trade, production and outlook.

2011 Gold Production (tons) by Country

2011 Gold Production (tons) by Country

Gold Production of Australia

Australia is the world’s third largest gold producer, after China (which also ranks as the second-largest consumer of gold) and the United States. About 60 percent of Australia’s gold resources are located in Western Australia, with the remainder in all other States and the Northern Territory. Virtually all resources occur in primary deposits, many of which have undergone some degree of weathering. Weathered primary deposits are important to the gold industry because they are usually easier and cheaper to mine and the gold is easier to recover.

Gold Trade of Australia

Gold has consistently been one of Australia’s major exports since the modern gold rush in the 1970s and 1980s. Gold exports, valued at A$ 15.0 billion, were Australia’s third ranked export commodity in 2010 after iron ore and coal. This represented 6.5% of Australia’s total merchandise exports.

In quantity terms, Australia’s gold exports have grown by approximated 3.0% per annum over the past ten years. After peaking in 2009 at 437 tonnes, 335 tonnes of gold were exported in 2010. This rise can be largely attributed to the increased capacity and productivity of Australia’s gold refinery industry.

Major Markets for Australia’s Gold Exports

Some countries have strong demand for jewellery (particularly India and other Asian countries), some have demand for gold for financial purpose (such as the United Kingdom and China), and some countries require gold for use in industrial applications.

Demand for Australian gold was largely dominated by India and the United Kingdom in 2010, accounting for 36.8 % and 35.9% of total gold exports respectively. India is a fast-growing market for Australian gold, as the country’s increasing wealth means more Indians can afford gold jewellery. The United Kingdom plays an important role in the global market as an intermediary gold trader. Other important destinations for Australia’s gold in 2010 included Thailand, with an 11.2% share of export market, followed by Singapore with 4.9% and Hong Kong (SAR of China) with 3.5%. (See the following Chart)

Australia's gold exports, by top 5 Destinations

Future Outlook of Australia’s Gold Industry

Figures indicate that the outlook for Australia’s gold production and export market for the period to 2016 is strong. During 2010, the price of gold in 2010 averaged US$1,225 an ounce. And the rising trend will achieve to an average of US$1,500 during 2011 and 2012, underpinned by strong global investment demand and jewellery demand in developing countries.

From a global perspective, it is anticipated that China’s gold market will expand considerably over the next decade as its demand for gold grows in line with increasing disposable income levels. Forecasts indicate that China will soon surpass India as the world’s biggest bullion consumer. This will likely have a flow-on effect for Australia’s gold exports, which will be sustained by strong demand from these developing countries over the next decade.

The Hottest Crusher in Pakistan

Brief Introduction of Pakistan Mining

Pakistan is endowed with significant mineral resources and emerging as a very promising area for prospecting/exploration of mineral deposits. Bases on available information, country’s more than 6,00,000 sq.kms of outcrops area demonstrates varied geological potential for metallic / non-metallic mineral deposits. In line with the constant development of infrastructure, mining industry also develops rapidly in Pakistan. Pakistan has large bases for industrial minerals. The discovery of coal deposits having over 175 billion tonnes of reserves at Thar in the Sindh province has given an impetus to develop it as an alternate source of energy. There is vast potential for precious and dimension stones.

Hottest Crusher in Pakistan

Nowadays, mining companies are facing an important chance of development due to a sound export momentum, especially large orders from Chinese companies. How to choose a suitable crusher has become a tough problem for many quarry owners. Now let me introduce a type of crusher, the VSI crusher, with high ratio of performance and price. It is said that it is the hottest crusher in Pakistan.

VSI Crusher

The VSI crusher, also named as the vertical shaft impact crusher, integrates with three types of crushing, and has been the core equipment in the sand-making industry and iron ore production line. it adapts a convertible distributor, which can simplify the operation significantly. Secondly, it uses the assembled hammer, so it is able to reduce the cost by more than 30%. In addition, it has an assistant hammer which protects the frame when the main hammer is worn. Thirdly, it employs the fireproof structure at the end of main axle, so the VSI crusher can avoid oil leakage without the felt washer.

Grinding Mill for Copper Processing

Copper ore Grinding Mill Produced by SBM

The copper ore grinding mill refers to the type of mill used in the copper processing. Typically, ball mill is often taken as the copper ore grinding mill. The ball mill is made up of feeding part, discharging part, gyre part, and transmission part and so on. The hollow axis of SBM ball mill adopts the cast steel, which can make our ball mill run smooth and reliable when processing the copper ore.

Working Principle of Copper ore Grinding Mill

Typically, SBM ball mill for copper processing has two warehouses. When the copper ore enters spirally and evenly the first warehouse of the milling machine along the input hollow axis. In the first warehouse, there is a ladder scaleboard or ripple board, and steel balls of different specification are installed on the scaleboard. When the barrel body rotates, and then the centrifugal force is produced, at this time, steel balls fall down to make the copper ore heavily struck and grinded. After the coarse grinding in the first warehouse, the copper ore then enters the second warehouse for regrinding. In the end, the copper particles are discharged by the output board and final products are completed.

Mini Stone Crusher and Sand Production Line

Brief Introduction of Mini Stone Crusher

The mini stone crusher refers to the crusher used in the stone quarry with a small size. Nowadays, many aggregate producers don’t have enough money to operate the stone quarry, however, they are not willing to lose the valuable chance to make money. So the mini crusher is their best choice. Due to its small size and cheap price, the mini crusher is become more and more popular in many developing countries.

Types of Mini Crusher in the Stone Quarry

Generally, mini crushers used in the stone quarry can be divided into three types, that is, the jaw crusher, impact crusher and cone crusher. According to the universal operation on the gold crushing, jaw crushers are applicable for the coarse crushing, standard cone crushers are used in the secondary crushing, and short-shaft cone crushers for fine crushing. Nowadays, many stone quarries have a varied topography, which brings some difficulties for crushing assignment. However, portable crusher could avoid those environmental disadvantages. According to different environments, portable crushers are divided into the crawler type and wheel type.
