Influence of The Inclined Surface Angle of The Spiral Chute on Centrifugal Force

There is a mutual influence between the inclined plane angle of the spiral chute and the centrifugal force, which directly affects the effect and efficiency of mineral processing. Spiral chute utilize the difference in mineral density to achieve the separation of light and heavy minerals by centrifugal force on the inclined surface of the chute.

An appropriate inclined angle can effectively generate centrifugal force, achieving the separation of mineral layers. However, determining the slope angle requires comprehensive consideration of various factors, including the properties of the slurry, the density differences of the minerals, and the specific requirements of mineral processing. By optimizing the slope angle and other structural parameters of the spiral chute, the effective utilization of centrifugal force can be improved, thereby increasing the efficiency and quality of mineral processing.

The effect of the inclined plane angle on centrifugal force

The magnitude of centrifugal force is related to the rotational speed and radius of the chute, but the angle of the inclined plane also indirectly affects the effective effect of centrifugal force. The larger the slope angle, the higher the flow velocity of the slurry in the chute may be, which may lead to an increase in centrifugal force. However, an excessively large slope angle may also cause the slurry to flow too quickly, leaving the mineral particles with insufficient time to separate into layers, thus affecting the sorting effect.

The role of centrifugal force in the separating process

Centrifugal force plays a crucial role in the sorting process of spiral chute. In the combined force field of gravity and centrifugal force, different particles experience different gravity, hydrodynamic pressure and friction, which enables the separation of useful minerals and gangue minerals. Denser mineral particles tend to slide quickly down the bottom of the trough near the center under the action of centrifugal force; while less dense gangue is easily thrown to the outer edge by centrifugal force, thus achieving mineral separation.
