Copper concentrate plants in Africa

In Africa, there have a 100t/h copper concentrate plant we design for a South Africa customer. This copper concentrate plant is specially designed for output of 100-120 TPH. The copper processing industry refines copper from metal ores or scrap copper. The best consumers of copper are wire mills and brass mills, designed to use the copper to make copper wire and copper alloys, respectively.

Copper ore processing

To mine copper, the first step is to blast the copper ore from an open pit mine, then loaded and transported to the crushing plant. In a large-scale copper ore beneficiation plant, crushing plant and grinding plant is needed. In the crusher, the ore is broken into smaller pieces of less than 25 centimeters in diameter. Crushed ore is then loaded on to a conveyor belt which takes it to the concentrator. In the concentrator, primary SAG mill and secondary ball mills grind the ore until it is a fine powder, then the copper ore is crushed and screened, with the fine sulfide ore going to froth flotation cells for recovery of copper.

Other copper mining equipment in South Africa

Copper is rich in Africa, there are many cooper plants. Many copper mining quarry equipments are needed so there are many suppliers. Gulin is one of the most famous quarry mining equipments suppliers in South Africa. Copper mining quarry equipments contain Vibrating Feeder, Jaw Crusher, Cone Crusher, Mobile Crusher and mills. The final product of copper ore quarry plant is copper concentrate. The basic process includes crushing and grinding. In crushing, jaw crusher, cone crusher and mobile crusher are often used. In grinding process, we often adopt Ball Mill to grinding small cooper particles. To summaries, cooper quarry mining equipments contain crushers and grinding mills.
