Gold Milling Plant — Crushing, Grinding & Classification
A gold milling plant liberates the gold from its host rock before recovery. We design and build the full grinding circuit — crushing, milling and classification — sized to your ore and throughput.
What a gold milling plant does
The Milling Stage of Gold Processing
Gold is rarely found free; it is locked inside the host rock. The milling stage reduces the ore to a particle size where gold can be recovered by gravity, flotation or cyanidation.
Grinding circuits engineered to your ore
We design rod mills, ball mills and classification circuits based on ore testwork. Xinhai builds ball mills up to 7 m in diameter, with grinding media and liner selection matched to your ore abrasivity.
- Crushing — jaw and cone crushers to prepare feed
- Grinding — rod and ball milling to target P80
- Classification — hydrocyclones and classifiers to control product size
Testwork before design
Bond work index testing and ore characterisation at our CNAS-accredited laboratory tell us exactly how much grinding your ore needs. The plant is sized from data, not guesswork.
- ~5,000 element analyses performed per month
- Industrial-scale pilot test base
- Flowsheet confirmed before equipment is committed
