The SYOGM Cascading Grizzly-Hydrocyclone Gold Flowchart #7
This flowchart outlines a highly sophisticated, multi-stage cascading gold recovery process initiated by the excavation of ore, which is fed into a large grizzly feeder hopper for primary classification into two distinct streams; undersized particles are routed directly to the SYOGM Secondary Crusher for further size reduction, while oversized particles undergo rigorous crushing via a standard jaw crusher (2-5 tonnes per hour) tuned for maximum fineness before joining the secondary crusher stream, ensuring both streams merge into the SYOGM Rothensteed Rock Impact Mill (Capacity: 2 tonnes/hr) for precise milling; the milled output is analyzed via a Classifier Wheel to recirculate particles coarser than 100 mesh back into the mill, while correctly sized material passes through SYOGM Fine Gold Recovery Sluices to produce a primary concentrate, with tailings pumped into a slurry tank and subsequently directed into a hydrocyclone for density-based separation, where undersized fractions (<200 mesh) are immediately sent to [SYOGM Tuned Fine Gold Recovery Sluices](https://www.startyourowngoldmine.com/dpe/planning/equipment/index.html) for [high-efficiency recovery of fine gold](https://www.startyourowngoldmine.com/rcd/reach/media/mining-site-281/the-fine-gold-recovery-system.html), and larger oversize fractions ( >200 mesh) are recirculated back into the SYOGM Tuned Rothensteed Rock Impact Mill for reprocessing in a closed-loop system, culminating in the final extraction of high-purity gold from the primary concentrates via the Cleangold Panning method.
- Excavation & Grizzly Separation: Extract raw ore and feed into the large grizzly feeder hopper for primary size classification.
- Dual-Stream Crushing: Route undersized particles to the SYOGM Secondary Crusher; crush oversized particles via a standard jaw crusher (2-5 tonnes per hour) tuned for fineness, then feed both streams into the SYOGM Secondary Crusher.
- Primary Milling: Process the combined crushed feed through the SYOGM Rothensteed Rock Impact Mill (Capacity: 2 tonnes/hr).
- Closed-Loop Classification: Analyze milled output via a Classifier Wheel, recirculating particles >100 mesh back into the mill for re-grinding.
- Primary Recovery: Run correctly sized material through SYOGM Fine Gold Recovery Sluices to produce a primary concentrate.
- Secondary Processing Loop: Direct tailings from the primary sluices to the SYOGM Tuned Rothensteed Rock Impact Mill for further size reduction.
- Slurry Management & Hydrocyclone Separation: Pump slurry from the tank into a hydrocyclone to separate particles by size.
- Fine Gold Recovery: Send undersized fractions (<200 mesh) from the hydrocyclone to SYOGM Tuned Fine Gold Recovery Sluices for targeted recovery.
- Oversize Recirculation: Return larger fractions (>200 mesh) from the hydrocyclone to the SYOGM Tuned Rothensteed Rock Impact Mill.
- Final Extraction: Recover high-purity gold from the primary concentrates using the Cleangold Panning method.
