Electrostatic Dry Washer

Avimetal introduces a revolutionary dry washing machine designed for small-scale gold mining. Combining vibratory screen technology with advanced electrostatic separation, the machine achieves a 99% recovery rate, addressing inefficiencies in traditional methods that fail to capture fine gold particles, especially in water-scarce regions.

Its dual-layer design features a micron-sized bottom screen for airflow and an electrostatic field powered by a 60,000-volt system, ensuring maximum recovery of gold particles. Lightweight and modular, the machine is easy to transport, assemble, and operate, with a low power requirement of under 10 HP, making it cost-effective and eco-friendly.

This innovation eliminates dependency on water, offering miners in arid regions a sustainable and profitable solution. By enhancing recovery rates, lowering operational costs, and reducing environmental impact, this dry washing machine represents a critical advancement in gold mining technology, addressing the industry’s evolving needs.

Background

In desert regions like California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Nevada, thousands of mines remain abandoned or undeveloped due to water scarcity, which is essential for traditional water-based gold recovery methods. This reliance on water creates significant barriers in arid regions, where it is both scarce and costly.

Globally, mining operations, particularly in Africa and along the Amazon River, face severe environmental issues from water contamination caused by mercury and cyanide runoff. These practices harm ecosystems and public health, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable solutions.

The development of a dry washing machine with vibratory screen technology and advanced electrostatic separation eliminates the dependency on water, making mining viable in arid regions and reducing environmental damage. By offering an efficient, eco-friendly alternative, this innovation aligns with global sustainability goals, revitalizing underutilized resources while conserving water and preventing pollution.

Industrial Analysis

The small-scale mining industry plays a critical role in global mineral extraction, especially in regions such as Africa, South America, and Asia. This sector provides livelihoods to millions of miners and their communities, contributing significantly to local and global economies. However, small-scale miners often operate with limited access to efficient equipment and face increasing environmental regulations, which restrict traditional mining practices.

In arid regions like Africa and parts of the Americas, water scarcity poses a significant challenge to gold recovery, as traditional methods such as sluicing and panning rely heavily on water. Additionally, concerns over environmental degradation, including water contamination from artisanal mining operations, have led to stricter regulations and growing demand for eco-friendly mining solutions.

Dry washing machines, which do not require water, are essential for addressing these challenges. They enable gold recovery in water-scarce areas while mitigating the environmental impacts of traditional mining methods. Our innovative machine, combining vibratory screen technology with electrostatic separation, directly fills this market gap. By providing an efficient, portable, and environmentally sustainable solution, it empowers small-scale miners to improve productivity, reduce costs, and comply with environmental standards.
