Application of Dewatering Screen in Beneficiation Process of Potash Feldspar

Recently, most of manufacturers choose spiral classifier and pressure filter to dehydrate potash feldspar during dehydration process. But there are some disadvantages, spiral classifier cannot classify materials completely and pressure filter needs large investment. What’s more, if users adopt spiral classifier to deal with the separation of residue water during the production of potash feldspar, it will cause the finished materials containing too much water so that the materials cannot be dry heaping. It is found that if users adopt dewatering screen instead of spiral classifier, the water content of potash feldspar will be less than 15% after dewatering by dewatering screen and the materials can achieve dry heaping effect. Furthermore, it can increase recovery rate of finished products because the dewatering screen can elect fine sand which will lose caused by spiral classifier.

 

There are two applications for dewatering screen used in beneficiation process of potash feldspar, one is used for classification of potash feldspar which is processed by ball mill, another is used for dewatering of potash feldspar products. In the traditional production process, it always uses pressure filter to deal with this kind of materials during the dewatering process of potash feldspar products. But this kind of production technical has large energy consumption, lower working efficiency and higher water content. While if users adopt dewatering screen to deal with potash feldspar, it can improve the production efficiency greatly, also can reduce energy consumption and floor space.
