Conical concentrator with partial flow combination

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Abstract of the Disclosure, Apparatus is provided for the wet gravity concentration of particulate ores wherein the required or value particles have a specific gravity that is higher than that of those of the remaining or unwanted particles. Upper and lower substantially concentric downwardly convergent cones have their axes substantially vertical with upper and lower splitters being located at the apex region of the upper and lower cones respectively. Each splitter divides a wet stream of particulate ore flowing downwardly over the upper surface of its respective cone into a concentrated stream that flows through one or more apertures and a less concentrated stream that flows over the …
