Mineral processing solution
Mineral Concentrate Filtration
Filter selection for concentrate cake and plant throughput
Concentrate filtration is selected around the actual mineral, particle distribution and downstream handling requirement. Hexin compares ceramic, vacuum and pressure routes before configuring equipment for the plant.

What determines the filtration route
The same filtration area does not guarantee the same result across ores. These material and plant factors should be resolved before model selection.
Fines content and slurry behavior affect cake formation, permeability and cleaning demand.
Transport, storage and the next process determine the useful cake form and moisture target.
Feed variability, operating hours, filtrate recovery and available utilities influence equipment choice.
Process selection
Test first. Then configure the line.
A representative material sample and plant duty define the filtration route. This decision sequence keeps equipment selection tied to measurable project requirements.
Characterize
Review solids content, particle size, mineral type and throughput.
Run filtration tests
Compare cake formation, filtrate quality, moisture and cleaning behavior.
Select equipment
Choose ceramic, vacuum or pressure filtration and any upstream conditioning.
Integrate & verify
Match discharge, utilities, controls and commissioning to the plant.
Final equipment configuration and achievable results require representative material testing and project engineering.
Equipment in the process
Equipment chosen for the material
A tested concentrate route may use one filtration technology or a combination with upstream thickening and downstream handling.
DF Ceramic Filter
A ceramic-disc option for mineral concentrate dewatering after material and cleaning tests.

TFP Vertical Automatic Pressure Filter
A pressure-filtration option when cake quality, washing or fine-particle behavior calls for a different route.
Explore Equipment →Horizontal vacuum filtration and upstream thickening can also be evaluated where the test results and plant duty support them.
Project evidence
Concentrate and upstream project references
The Tongbai project is a ceramic concentrate-filtration reference. The Guangxi Gaofeng case provides related upstream thickening context, not a substitute for concentrate filtration test data.

Define the plant interface early
Equipment performance depends on the feed arrangement, cake discharge, filtrate return and operating responsibilities around the machine.
Material review
Confirm representative sample data and the required concentrate-cake outcome.
Equipment package
Set filtration area, auxiliaries, utilities and control interfaces from test results.
Factory to site
Agree factory checks, installation support, commissioning and training in the project scope.
