Operation Principle

Industries

Optical separator LuxSortika BF is intended for separation of minerals with sizes varying from 20 mm to 200 mm and detection efficiency up to 99%.
  • Fields of application: mining

- Alluvial and primary deposits of precious metals (gold-quartz, gold-sulfide, silver-gold ore types, etc.);

- Non-metallic ores (limestone, quartz, dolomite, talc, magnesite, marble, fluorite, wollastonite);

- Potassium ores (chloride salts, sylvinite ores)

  • Pre-enrichment

The near-infrared (NIR) method of ore enrichment is based on the analysis of spectra obtained after the interaction of near-infrared radiation with minerals. The sorting program that analyzes the NIR spectrum is customized depending on the characteristics and composition of the ore. Precise adjustment of the separation parameters allows to determine the composition of ores regardless of color, shade, and transparency of minerals with an accuracy of up to 99% and to perform separation with an efficiency of up to 95% with the production of coarse concentrate or final tailings (pre-enrichment).

  • Convenient and fast equipment setup

The control panel is a 17-inch high-definition touch screen, which is convenient for setting the separation mode. The developed software with intuitive user interface allows to customize the equipment in 3 clicks for individual ore characteristics and has 3 levels of access (worker, engineer, service technician). In addition to adjusting the basic operating parameters of the product, the settings of the separation parameters for each type of mineral.

  • Two separation stages in a single housing

Installation of the second level of nozzles for rejection allows to obtain 3 fractions differing in mineral composition, color, and shape in just one stage of separation. This will reduce the amount of equipment used, including conveying equipment, and improve the quality of material separation with lower financial and time costs.

  • Automatic cleaning of the feeding area

Automatic cleaning of the conveyor belt eliminates downtime and maintains efficiency without operator intervention and long maintenance stops.

  • Remote monitoring and control

Remote monitoring, diagnostics, and control system allows to monitor separation parameters and promptly adjust the equipment to changes in the characteristics of incoming mineral raw materials (changes in composition, color, and size of inclusions).

You can additionally order a spare parts kit to ensure continuous operation of the equipment:

  • Conveyor belt
  • Lighting module
  • Ejector unit
REMOS remote monitoring system can be integrated with this type of equipment, which allows to monitor the separator status in real time.
Available options:
  • Power supply status sensor
  • Electric motor operation control (if frequency converter is installed)
  • Position monitoring sensor for input circuit breakers and contactors
  • Equipment downtime control
  • Door status control (open/closed)
  • Pneumatic system pressure sensor
  • Device operating mode (off, on)
  • Humidity sensor
  • Temperature sensor
