The invention belongs to the technical field of mine ore washing equipment, and relates to improvement of the production efficiency of an
elutriation machine, in particular to an
elutriation system for efficient
iron ore washing and separation and a control method thereof.The
elutriation system comprises a concentrate pulp mixer, an overflow groove, an elutriation
barrel, a supporting platform, an ore washing water path and a
control system; the concentrate pulp mixer is arranged above the elutriation
barrel, the overflow groove is formed in the lower portion outside the concentrate pulp mixer and is in an inclined table shape, the tailing outlet is formed in the bottom of the inclined table, the middle of the interior of the overflow groove is connected with the elutriation
barrel, a middle barrel body of the elutriation barrel is divided into an inner barrel body and an outer barrel body, and multiple sets of
magnet exciting coils are arranged between the inner barrel body and the outer barrel body. The lower part of the inner cylinder is connected with an inverted-cone cylinder; a stirring
impeller is arranged below the concentrate pulp mixer; the lower part of the elutriation barrel is filled with direct-flow water and
rotational flow water through an ore washing water path; the
system automatically recognizes working condition changes according to the ore feeding property, the material amount,
field data and
database set values, the optimal
operation mode is selected, a
magnetic field, an ore removal valve, a
water supply valve and the like are controlled, efficient and intelligent separation of
iron ore powder is achieved, and the optimal ore washing effect is achieved.
