To support the recent installation of a new AG Mill, The Iron Ore Company of
Canada (IOC) has installed an additional two lines of spiral separators. The new
order comprises of 144 single start 7-turn WW6E roughers, 96 single start 5-turn
WW6 cleaners and 96 single start 5-turn re-cleaners.
Due to space constraints in the Concentrator, the new spirals are being shipped
separately from the frames. Specifically designed in a knock down form, the
frames are bolted together in the plant, and spirals are then installed as a separate
process.
With this installation, IOC now has over 5,000 MD WW6E spirals installed in its
Carol Lake Concentrator.
The first installation of spirals took place in the Hem plant at Carol Lake in 1995
and replaced worn out Humphreys spirals. This was followed by replacement of all
existing spirals in the main plant over a 10-year period.
As well as supplying the spirals, Mineral Technologies is continuing to work closely
with IOC’s engineering team to ensure the spiral circuit meets design criteria,
delivering an efficient and problem free installation and commissioning phase.
