Online particle size analyzer

The ore grade analyzer PST is a novel and highly versatile technology that is installed on the overflow slurry pipeline of a single hydrocyclone. It is the only system capable of directly and in real time measuring the particle size of the overflow from an individual hydrocyclone. This online measurement provides a reliable, low-maintenance method for determining particle size distribution, enabling systematic optimization of grinding operations. The value of this technology lies in its ability to track the particle size of the overall hydrocyclone group’s overflow based on the contribution of each individual hydrocyclone. As a result, real-time closed-loop grinding control strategies can enhance mineral recovery and improve grinding efficiency while maintaining or even increasing plant throughput. The probe is inserted directly into the hydrocyclone pipeline; it contains no moving parts, requires no sampling, and eliminates the need for complex online sample-handling systems, thereby significantly reducing maintenance requirements.
