Ore thickener

Density measurement in the ore thickener

Process data

Measuring task:

Density measurement

Measuring point:

Tank

Measuring range up to:

1000 – 1300 kg/m³

Medium:

Different ores

Process temperature:

+15 … +25 °C

Process pressure:

0 … 0 bar

Special challenges:

Abrasive medium

Application

Extracted minerals are fed to the thickener as a slurry via a trough. The solids are settled out into the bottom of the tank, in a process accelerated through the addition of flocculants. Precise density measurement of the slurry underflow is necessary for effective control of the ore thickener.
