An operational model for a spiral classifier
The processing of heavy minerals and coal is often carried out using spiral classifiers. Processing of iron ore to separate coarse iron oxides such as hematite from light gangue mineral, such as quartz, is carried out in circuits with several hundreds of rougher, cleaner and re-cleaner spirals (Bazin et al., 2014).
Spiral Classifier: Importance & Types
The spiral classifier is a commonly used equipment for mineral processing (sand washing). It is often paired with a ball mill to form a closed-circuit circulation to divert ore.

The overall recovery of the heavy minerals component was approximately constant at 85% for solids throughputs of 10–18.5 t/(m 2 h). The unrecovered heavy mineral had an average density close to that of the gangue, hence was deemed unrecoverable by gravity separation. The recovery of the denser and more liberated zirconium mineral exceeded 95%.
