Here are the translated application cases in the ore sorting field:
Henan Vein Quartz Gold Mine
In a vein quartz-type gold mine in Henan, quartz accounts for 60%-90% of the ore, with gold mostly occurring as fine particles encapsulated in quartz, pyrite, arsenopyrite, and other sulfides. The embedded particle size is fine, so the traditional sorting process relies on full-size grinding and flotation, leading to high costs. The high hardness of quartz results in grinding power consumption of 30-50 kWh/ton, causing severe equipment wear. Flotation requires a large amount of inhibitors to control quartz flotation, increasing reagent costs. Fine-grained quartz raises the viscosity of the pulp, reducing gold recovery by 5%-10%. Tailings account for 70%-80% of the raw ore, with processing costs reaching 15-20 RMB/ton.

By adopting Mingde Ore Color Sorter pre-selection technology, which leverages the color difference between quartz and sulfides, AI optical recognition is used after coarse crushing (particle size 10-50mm) to remove 40%-60% of gold-free pure quartz, which can be sold directly as quartz sand. After pre-selection, sulfides in the ore are enriched, reducing grinding volume by over 50%, ton ore power consumption by 50%, and flotation reagent usage by 50% simultaneously. Gold recovery increases by 3%-5%, tailings volume drops to 40%-60%, and processing costs are reduced by 40%-50%. The sorted quartz also generates an additional income of 200-500 RMB/ton. After implementing the "coarse crushing - color sorting - grinding - flotation - tailings classification" process, comprehensive costs are reduced by 40%-60%, gold recovery rate exceeds 95%, the grade of raw ore increases from 1.5g/t to 3.2g/t, annual processing capacity increases by 180,000 tons, and the waste quartz sand from sorting generates over 18 million RMB in annual revenue.
Jiangxi Pyrite-associated Gold Mine
A large pyrite-type gold mine in Jiangxi features complex mineral intergrowth and low grade, leading to high reagent consumption and difficult sulfur-gold separation in traditional flotation processes. Mingde AI ore sorter achieves efficient pre-selection and waste rejection through multi-modal sensing and deep learning algorithms. Based on the close association between gold and sulfides, this technology uses multi-dimensional data fusion analysis such as hyperspectral recognition and high-resolution imaging to accurately identify the physical and chemical differences between gold-bearing pyrite and gangue minerals.

During sorting, ores enter the intelligent sorting system after crushing and screening. Dynamic modeling is used to analyze mineral surface features in real time, and a "gold-sulfur" correlation criterion model is established based on gold occurrence rules to distinguish high-value ore blocks from low-grade waste rocks. Industrial tests show that the equipment has a pre-selection waste rejection rate of 25%-40% for pyrite-associated gold ore, with gold loss rate in waste rocks controlled below 0.1g/t, reducing the processing volume and reagent consumption of subsequent grinding and flotation processes.

After project operation, the system's waste rejection rate reaches 35%, the gold grade of the selected ore is increased by 1.5 times, the gold content in sulfur concentrate drops below 0.1g/t, annual reagent costs are saved by 4.2 million RMB, tailings discharge is reduced by 60,000 tons, and the unit energy consumption of the selected ore is reduced by 35%.

HUICHUAN Vertical Scrap Metal Shredder ( Vertical Scrap Metal Hammer Mill)HUICHUAN Vertical Scrap Metal Shredder is a high-efficiency equipment in the field of metal scrap processing. Its core advantages lie in deep volume reduction, liberating material components, optimizing subsequent separation efficiency, while significantly reducing scrap transportation costs, providing key support for the metal recycling process. Its working principle is realized through three-stage precise processing:Upper Crushing Stage: The breakers in the upper part of the equipment's chamber first crush the material powerfully until the material size is reduced to the range that can enter the "gap between the milling rings and chamber liners", completing the initial rough processing.Middle Grinding and Rolling Stage: The material entering the gap is then subjected to "impact + grinding + rolling" combined processing by the milling rings, and finally converted into uniform fragments with high cleanliness, removing impurities and ensuring material consistency.Lower Discharge Stage: When the crushed material reaches the preset fineness, it will naturally agglomerate into balls and fall into the lower chamber, and the finished product is discharged quickly and stably by the discharge paddles. The final product of this equipment has two major characteristics: "high cleanliness" and "high bulk density", which is fully suitable for the subsequent transportation and recycling processing needs. At present, it is mainly used for processing the following metal scraps:Hardware scrap: Water pipe valves, water meters, etc.Aluminum scrap: Aluminum castings, aluminum profiles, used aluminum cans (UBC’s), etc.Steel scrap: Pre-shredded steel plates, metal drums, etc.

Vertical Scrap Metal Hammer Mill

X-ray sorters emits rays through an X-ray source to penetrate ores. After the detector receives the signals, it converts them into electrical signals, which are then processed by AI algorithms to achieve separation. Different minerals have different degrees of X-ray attenuation due to differences in density and elemental composition, thus distinguishing ore types and grades.

HUICHUAN UBC Aluminum Can Recycling Production Line SolutionHUICHUAN has deep expertise in the renewable resources equipment sector, focusing on the core crushing and sorting processes of UBC (used aluminum beverage cans). We provide customized solutions ranging from "equipment customization to whole-line construction," enabling efficient processing of pre-cleaned, dried loose cans or baled can blocks. Our solution minimizes aluminum loss to the greatest extent, accurately converting used aluminum cans into high-value recycled aluminum materials.I. Core Process: 5-Step Precision Handling to Maximize Aluminum Recovery ValueFor pre-processed used aluminum cans (either pre-cleaned, dried loose cans or baled blocks), we achieve efficient crushing and zero-waste sorting through a combination of customized equipmentCustom Dual-Shaft Shredder: Initial Size Reduction for Subsequent ProcessesIf the raw material is baled aluminum can blocks, they first enter the HUICHUAN custom dual-shaft shredder. Designed with "high torque and low speed," this shredder easily breaks down high-density bales into loose chunks of 5-10cm, preventing damage to subsequent equipment due to excessive hardness and preparing for fine crushing. If the raw material is pre-cleaned and dried loose cans, this step can be skipped directly to proceed to the next stage. 2. Vertical/Horizontal Crusher: Fine Crushing and Impurity SeparationThe material is fed into the HUICHUAN custom vertical or horizontal crusher (selected based on daily processing capacity). Targeting the structural characteristics of beverage cans—"aluminum body, iron lid, and plastic label"—a dedicated set of blades crushes the cans into uniform fragments of 1-3cm. During crushing, aluminum from the can body is initially separated from iron lids and plastic labels. Meanwhile, a built-in impurity screen filters out a small number of uncrushed large impurities. 3. Shaftless Roller Screen: Classification Screening to Optimize Sorting ConditionsThe crushed mixed fragments are conveyed to the shaftless roller screen. Using screens with different aperture sizes, the material is classified into two categories: "qualified aluminum fragments" and "fine impurities (e.g., sand and mud)." Qualified aluminum fragments move to the subsequent sorting process, while fine impurities are discharged directly—preventing blockages in sorting equipment and ensuring stable operation of the sorting system 4. Eddy Current Magnetic Separation Integrated Machine: Precise Separation of Aluminum and Metal ImpuritiesThe classified qualified material enters the HUICHUAN custom Eddy Current Magnetic Separation Integrated Machine—an upgraded all-in-one device that combines eddy current separation (for aluminum) and magnetic adsorption (for fine iron impurities) in a single unit, realizing "dual-function in one machine."For aluminum separation: It generates an eddy current effect through a high-frequency alternating magnetic field, applying a "repulsive force" to aluminum fragments to achieve instant separation from iron lids and other metal impurities.For fine iron removal: Equipped with a built-in high-performance neodymium magnet module, it adsorbs tiny iron particles (≤1mm) that are easily missed by conventional separators, eliminating hidden iron impurities in aluminum materials.Performance highlights: Sorting accuracy reaches over 99.7% (0.2% higher than single eddy current separators), and sorting efficiency is 25% higher than that of conventional equipment—ensuring no loss of core aluminum material and zero iron contamination. 5. Aluminum Dust Separation: Capturing Fine Powder to Eliminate WasteA dedicated aluminum dust separation step is added: using a combination of negative pressure suction and fine filters, aluminum fines (high-value materials easily overlooked) generated during crushing and sorting are accurately collected. This prevents waste caused by discharge along with dust or impurities. This step increases the overall aluminum recovery rate by an additional 1.2-1.5 percentage points, ensuring every piece of aluminum resource is monetized.II.
