Copper concentrate is an intermediate product obtained by processing copper ore through a series of beneficiation processes, including crushing, grinding, flotation, and gravity separation, resulting in a significantly increased copper content (grade). It is also a core raw material for copper smelting. Its core components are mainly copper sulfides (such as chalcopyrite and bornite), with some copper oxides, and small amounts of gangue (silicon, aluminum, etc.) and impurities (sulfur, iron, lead, zinc, etc.). After beneficiation, the natural moisture content of copper concentrate is typically between 12% and 25%. This high moisture content severely affects subsequent smelting, storage, transportation, and processing stages. Therefore, drying is an indispensable pre-process in the industrial production of copper concentrate.
Our company's copper concentrate drying production line is an integrated set of equipment specifically designed for industrial-grade copper concentrate drying. It's not a single dryer, but a complete production line comprised of a feeding system, drying host, hot air system, dust removal system, discharge system, and control system. It enables fully automated continuous operation of copper concentrate from feeding, drying, dust removal to discharge, and is suitable for drying various copper concentrate materials such as raw copper concentrate, copper concentrate powder, and copper concentrate slag.
The core equipment of the production line is a dedicated copper concentrate rotary drum dryer, specifically developed to address the characteristics of copper concentrate, such as its high fine powder content, easy adhesion, and susceptibility to oxidation (low-temperature drying). It can be flexibly customized according to customer capacity requirements (10-800 tons/day), adapting to different scenarios such as mines, metallurgical plants, and copper concentrate processing plants. It features a high degree of automation, high drying efficiency, and low energy consumption, accurately controlling the moisture content of the copper concentrate to the required smelting standards (3%-8%, adjustable as needed), providing high-quality pre-treated raw materials for subsequent smelting processes.
Our company can tailor-make exclusive drying production line solutions based on customers' actual production capacity, copper concentrate moisture content, particle size, site dimensions, and environmental protection requirements. This ensures rapid equipment commissioning and stable operation, helping customers reduce production costs and improve production efficiency.
