15 TPH Chromite Tailing Process Plant in South Africa
Published Date:15 janvier 2026Situation de la mine du client
Aperçu du projet
Jiangxi JXSC Mining Machinery Co., Ltd. successfully designed, manufactured, and installed a 15TPH chrome tailing process plant in South Africa. This gravity separation plant specializes in recovering chrome concentrate from discarded tailings, offering an efficient and environmentally friendly solution for chrome mining operations.
The plant features a straightforward layout, easy maintenance, and high recovery rates, making it a preferred choice among chrome miners in South Africa and Zimbabwe.
Customer Requirements
The client sought a cost-effective and reliable processing solution capable of:
- Reprocessing chrome tailings (waste material)
- Maximizing chrome recovery rates (>80%)
- Minimizing water and energy consumption
- Adapting to varying feedstock conditions
15 TPH Chromite Tailing Process Plant Flowchart

Description de Flowchat
1. Feeding & Screening Stage
- Tamis Trommel (GT1020): Screens raw materials (max. feed size: 100mm) to remove oversized waste rock.
- (Optional) Grizzly Bars: Prevents oversized rocks (>100mm) from entering the system.
2. Gravity Separation
- Chutes en spirale (7 Sets):
1st Stage: Rough concentration to extract mid-grade chrome.
2nd Stage: Further purifies mid-grade concentrate into high-grade product. - Tables à secousses (5 Sets): Enhances final concentrate grade through density-based separation.
3. Dewatering & Water Recycling
- Hydrocyclone: Removes excess water from concentrate slurry and recycles process water.
- Pompes à boues: Transport slurry between stages (4/3-inch & 3/2-inch models).
4. Supporting Equipment
- Convoyeur à bande (DT75-500): Transfers materials between machines.
- Water Pumps: Supplies fresh water (~50m³/h total consumption).
Chromite Tailing Process Plant Equipment
- 1 set * Trommel screen GT1020
- 1 set * Belt conveyor DT75-500
- 1 set * Slurry pump 4/3inch
- 2 sets * Slurry pump 3/2inch
- 7 sets * Spiral chute
- 5 sets * Shaking table
- 1 set * Water pump
Key Advantages of This Plant
- High Recovery Rate (80–85%) – Effectively recovers chrome from low-grade tailings.
- Compact & Modular Design – Easy installation and scalability.
- Low Operating Cost – Minimal water and energy usage compared to traditional methods.
- Customizable – Adjustable capacity (e.g., 5TPH–50TPH) based on customer requirements.
Customer Questions & Our Answers
1. What's the difference between the trommel scrubber and trommel screen?
The trommel scrubber is used for washing raw materials with sticky clay, while the trommel screen is used for cleaning raw materials with normal sand and soil.
2. Why does the spiral chute need two stages?
The mid concentrate from the first stage spiral chute will go to the second stage spiral chute, which will make the chrome concentrate purer.
3. Why does the concentrate from the spiral chute need to go to the shaking table?
If the chrome concentrate needs to achieve a higher grade, the shaking table will be necessary. It relies on the dual action of reciprocating vibration of the bed surface and transverse water flow washing to finely stratify minerals according to density, grain size, and shape.
4. How to dewater the concentrate?
The concentrate slurry can be pumped to the hydro cyclone for dewatering and recycling the water.
5. What is the particle size requirement for the feed ore?
The maximum feeding size of the trommel is 100 mm; it has big waste stones over 100mm, so a 100mm grizzly bar can be made on the hopper to remove the big waste stones.
6. What's the water consumption of the whole line of machines?
The total water consumption will need approximately 50 m3 per hour, mainly for feeding water to the trommel screen and shaking table. The water consumption for the trommel screen is 2 times the capacity, for the shaking table is 2-3 m3 per hour per set.
7. Ce qu'il faut faire chrome recovery rate can be achieved?
The gravity recovery rate can reach 80–85%, final result will depend on the raw materials’conditions.
