What top size should be fed to Falcon SB machines?
Top size for Falcon SB’s is 6 mm. Sepro Mineral Systems strongly recommends, however, that SB feed be sized slightly coarser than the maximum gold particles in the stream for these reasons: 1. Screening off barren coarse material saves money as it is less expensive to buy and operate a unit of screening capacity than a unit of concentrating capacity. 2. Metallurgical performance will improve as the target and gangue particles become more closely sized. 3. Operating costs for the Falcon SB are a function of maximum particle size. As the maximum feed particle size becomes smaller, so do the operating costs for the Falcon.
