Product Details

GX High Efficiency Thickener

The GX Type High Efficiency Thickener is a new generation of solid-liquid separation equipment. Unlike traditional thickeners, it features a De-aeration Tank and a longer central feeding well, significantly increasing the settling speed.

With a processing capacity 3-5 times higher than ordinary thickeners, it is widely used for high-concentration tailings discharge and concentrate dewatering in Gold, Copper, and Zinc plants.

Working Principle: De-aeration & Deep Settling

Removing air bubbles to accelerate particle settling.

De-aeration

Slurry first enters the external De-aeration Tank. Air bubbles attached to solid particles are removed, preventing them from floating and ensuring fast settling.

Deep Feeding

The slurry is fed deep into the tank (below the settling layer) via a long feeding well. This prevents turbulence in the overflow zone.

Compression

Flocculant is added to form large flocs. The deep sludge bed compresses the solids, achieving a higher underflow density (up to 70%).

GX High Efficiency Thickener Structure

Technical Choice: High Efficiency (GX) vs. Standard Thickener

Why upgrade to GX High Efficiency Thickener?

Feature	GX High Efficiency Thickener	Standard Thickener (NZ)
Capacity per Area	Very High (2.5-5 t/m²·d).	Standard (0.5-1.0 t/m²·d).
De-aeration	Yes (Crucial for fine particles).	No.
Underflow Density	High (60-70%).	Medium (40-50%).
Footprint	Small (Saves space).	Large.

Core Advantages

1. High Capacity

Thanks to the de-aeration system and specialized feeding, one GX thickener can replace 2-3 standard thickeners, saving huge infrastructure costs.

2. High Density Discharge

The deep sludge bed allows for longer compression time, producing a high-density underflow ideal for filter press feeding or paste backfill.

3. Automated Control

Can be equipped with automatic flocculant dosing and rake lifting systems, ensuring stable operation even with fluctuating feed rates.

Typical Applications

● Gold Cyanidation (CIL/CIP):
Washing thickener in CCD circuits to recover dissolved gold.
● Filter Press Feeding:
Pre-thickening slurry to >60% density to reduce Filter Press cycle time.
● Tailings Dry Stacking:
High density thickening for modern dry tailings disposal.
● Fine Coal Dewatering:
Handling coal slime water with high efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Does it require flocculant?

A: Yes. The high efficiency of the GX thickener relies on the rapid settling of flocculated particles. A polymer dosing system is usually required.

Q: Can it handle fluctuations in feed rate?

A: Yes. The deep feeding well and large settling area provide a good buffer. However, the flocculant dosage should be adjusted automatically based on feed flow.

Q: Why is de-aeration important?

A: Air bubbles attached to particles act like life jackets, making them float instead of sink. The de-aeration tank removes these bubbles, ensuring solid settling.
