Introduction
The YTO series gold wet pan mill (also known as gold stamp mill or edge runner mill) is a traditional yet highly efficient gravity separation and grinding equipment specially designed for gold ore processing. It combines grinding and concentration functions in one unit, making it the most cost-effective solution for small and medium-scale gold mines. Widely used in Africa, Southeast Asia and South America, it is ideal for processing both alluvial gold and hard rock gold ores with low investment and simple operation.
Core Advantages
✅Unbeatable Cost-Effectiveness
- 70% lower investment cost compared to ball mills with the same processing capacity
- No need for complex civil engineering works, can be installed and put into production within 3 days
- Low energy consumption, only 1/3 of ball mills for the same output
- Short payback period, usually within 3-6 months for small-scale projects
✅ High Gold Recovery Rate
- Integrated grinding and gravity separation process, effectively liberates gold particles
- Gold recovery rate reaches 85-95% for free-milling gold ores
- Specially designed pan structure prevents fine gold loss
- Can be used with amalgamation tables or shaking tables for further concentration
✅Simple Operation & Maintenance
- Extremely simple structure with only one moving part (the roller assembly)
- No professional technical personnel required, local workers can operate after simple training
- Few wearing parts, easy to replace, reducing downtime and maintenance costs
- Can operate continuously 24/7 with minimal supervision
✅ Ultra-Durable Construction
- High-manganese steel rollers and pans with service life of 2-3 years
- Heavy-duty cast iron frame for maximum stability and durability
- Reinforced transmission system with high torque capacity
- Designed to withstand harsh mining environments with minimal maintenance
✅Versatile Application Capabilities
- Suitable for both alluvial gold and hard rock gold ores
- Can process ores with particle size up to 30mm
- Also effective for processing silver, lead, zinc, copper and other heavy minerals
- Available in single-roller and double-roller configurations to meet different capacity needs
✅Environmentally Friendly Options
- Mercury-free operation available when combined with gravity separation equipment
- Closed water circulation system reduces water consumption by 80%
- No dust pollution during operation
- Complies with international environmental protection standards
Working Principles
The gold wet pan mill consists of a rotating circular pan and one or two heavy rollers mounted on a central shaft. As the pan rotates, the rollers roll over the ore material inside the pan, crushing and grinding it into fine particles. Under the combined action of centrifugal force and gravity, heavy gold particles settle to the bottom of the pan and are trapped in the grooves or collected by mercury (if used), while lighter gangue particles are washed out of the pan with water. The concentrated gold material is then further processed to produce final gold products.
