Product Description

The Gu Xin potassium feldspar-specific color sorter leverages intelligent photoelectric recognition and AI‑driven precision algorithms, accommodating potassium feldspar materials of various particle sizes. It efficiently removes associated minerals, off‑color impurities, and waste rock, delivering high sorting accuracy with a low reject rate.

I. Product Applications

Raw ore roughing stage  
Raw ore preliminary screening: The raw ore from mining is fed directly into the process, with mud clumps, weathered rock, black host rock, and foreign stones removed to reduce impurity content in advance and thereby lessen the load on subsequent crushing, grinding, and beneficiation stages.   Grading and sorting: Partitions are screened according to particle size, separating coarse ore from fine material to achieve preliminary classification of the ore feed, thereby matching it to different processing stages.
Screening and Sorting Stage  
Premium Material Selection: For crushed, granular potassium feldspar, this process precisely removes black spots, yellow patches, and discolored particles containing iron, titanium, and carbon, thereby enhancing the ore’s whiteness and grade.   Mineral blending and separation: Distinguish coexisting minerals such as potassium feldspar, quartz, mica, and hornblende to achieve the separation of valuable minerals and enhance the grade of the primary ore.
Pre‑grinding classification   
Powder pre‑treatment: Removal of impurities from fine particles and powdered potassium feldspar to prevent hard contaminants from wearing down the mill and compromising powder quality, thereby ensuring the stability of downstream finished products.   Customized high-purity raw materials: Catering to the demands of premium-grade applications, our products undergo multiple rounds of fine screening to deliver feldspar with exceptional whiteness and low iron and potassium content, perfectly aligned with high-end industrial chains.
Tailings Recycling and Utilization   
Tailings re‑recovery: Residual potassium feldspar is re‑screened from flotation tailings and washing waste, thereby revitalizing waste resources and improving overall ore recovery.   Reutilization of scrap materials: Chips and offcuts generated during processing are collected and sorted by color; once they meet quality standards, they are reintroduced into the production line, thereby reducing resource waste.
Washing and sorting integration   
For potassium feldspar containing moisture after washing, a wet‑sorting process is employed to remove discolored impurities and clayey agglomerates exposed during washing, balancing moisture conditions with sorting accuracy to suit wet‑process mineral processing lines.
Finished-product grading and sorting   
The finished potassium feldspar products are graded according to whiteness, purity, and color, with distinct quality levels assigned to differentiate industrial‑grade, ceramic‑grade, and glass‑grade raw materials, thereby enabling tiered pricing and enhancing economic returns.
