I-spiral concentrator ingenye yezinto ezinhle kakhulu nezithembekile emkhakheni wokucubungula amaminerali, kodwa abaningi abaqhubi nabaphathi bamaphrojekthi abayiqondi kahle. Enkabeni yayo, le divayisi elula esebenzisa amandla adonsela phansi isebenzisa umsele oyindilinga ukuhlukanisa amaminerali ngokuminyana kwavo, incike kuphela emanzini, emandleni adonsela phansi, nasekuhambeni okuzolile, okuphendukayo kwezinhlayiya. Sekungaphezu kwekhulu leminyaka, onjiniyela bacwengisise lobu buchwepheshe ukuze bathole amaminerali abalulekile ngezindleko zamandla ezingxenyeni ezincane kakhulu uma kuqhathaniswa nezinye izindlela. Lo mhlahlandlela uveza isayensi, ukusetshenziswa, izinkinga ezivamile, kanye nokunakekelwa okungokoqobo okudingekayo ukuze kugcinwe umjikelezo we-spiral usebenza ngempumelelo ephezulu. Noma ngabe waklama indawo entsha noma uthuthukisa umsebenzi okhona, ukuqonda i-spiral kuyisinyathelo esibalulekile ekutholeni izinsiza ngendlela enenzuzo neqhubekayo. Njengoba ufunda, uzothola ukuthi kungani le helix engabukeki izuze indawo ehlala njalo emijikelezweni yokuhlukanisa ngamandla adonsela phansi emhlabeni wonke.

I-spiral concentrator iyithuluzi lokuhlukanisa ngamandla adonsela phansi elakhiwe ngomsele ogobile, ozungezile osongwe ngezinsika emaphakathi, lapho ingxube yamanzi nensimbi egayiwe igeleza phansi. Njengoba udaka luhamba emseleni, amandla aphakathi nendawo, amandla okudonsa kwamanzi, namandla adonsela phansi asebenza ndawonye ukuhlukanisa izinhlayiyana ngokushuba kwazo, kanti amaminerali asindayo athuthela onqenqemeni lwangaphakathi lomsele. Leli thuluzi alidingi izingxenye ezinyakazayo, alidingi amakhemikhali, futhi alidingi ugesi ngaphandle kokumpompa ukudla, okwenza kube ngelinye lamathuluzi okuhlukanisa agcina amandla kakhulu embonini yezimayini. Amayunithi anamuhla ngokuvamile akhiwa nge-fiberglass, i-polyurethane, noma ezinye izinto ezingagqwali ezingamelana neminyaka yokuthintana nodaka olulimazayo. Noma ngabe kucutshungulwa i-iron ore, amalahle, i-chromite, igolide, noma izihlabathi zasogwini, i-spiral iletha imiphumela engaguquki uma ukudla kulinganiswe kahle futhi kulungisiwe. Empeleni, iyithuluzi elingabizi kakhulu elisebenza ngokuzithula liliguqule amandla adonsela phansi libe yinzuzo.

Umlando we-spiral concentrator ubuyela emuva ekuqaleni kwekhulu lamashumi amabili, lapho abasunguli beqala ukuhlola imisele emise okwe-helix ukuze bathathe indawo yama-jigs endabuko namatafula okunyakazisa. Ama-spirals okuqala aphumelelayo kwezohwebo avela ngeminyaka yawo-1940 ezimbonini zamalahle nesihlabathi, futhi ubuchwepheshe basakazeka ngokushesha ekucutshungulweni kwezinsimbi ngemva kweMpi Yezwe II. Emashumini eminyaka, ukuthuthukiswa ekwakhiweni kwemisele, i-pitch, ububanzi, nokwakheka kwezinto kuye kwathuthukisa kakhulu amazinga okuthola kabusha nokuphila kokugqoka. Ama-spirals anamuhla angakwazi ukuphatha ubukhulu bezinhlayiya obusuka cishe ku-0.075 millimitha kuya ku-6 millimitha, lokhu kuguquguquka okusize ukuthi asinde ekukhuleni kwe-flotation nokuhlukaniswa ngamandla kazibuthe. Leli thuluzi liphinde laba nomthelela emasikweni, njengoba ukunyakaza okukhangayo, okugoqekayo kwe-slurry kwakukhumbuza onjiniyela abaqaphelayo nge-ringu spiral eyingqayizivele ebonwa kwi-cinema, lapho umumo ogoba ngokungapheli udonsela obukayo ngaphakathi. Lokho okwake kwaba umsele olula wokudonsela phansi kuye kwavela kwaba ithuluzi elakhiwe ngobunjiniyela obunembile elihlala liyitshe legumbi lokucutshungulwa kwezimbiwa okusimeme emhlabeni wonke.

Izinzuzo zokugxilisa umjikelezo (spiral concentration) zibonakala ngokushesha kunoma yimuphi umphathi wezimboni oqhathanise izabelomali zokusebenza phakathi kwezindlela ezahlukene zokuhlukanisa. Ama-spiral awasebenzisi amandla amaningi, adinga ukwengamelwa okuncane, futhi asebenza ngaphandle kwamakhemikhali, okususa isidingo sokufaka amakhemikhali abizayo kanye nokwelashwa kwamanzi okungezansi. Imishini iyincane, iyahlukaniseka, futhi ilula ukuyihlela ngezigaba, okuvumela izimboni ukuthi zikhulise umthamo wazo ngaphandle kokwandisa indawo ebonakalayo. Ukulungisa kulula ngoba akukho izingxenye ezijikelezayo, akukho zinjini zikagesi, futhi akukho zingxenye ezintekenteke ezingahluleka ngaphansi kwezimo ezinzima. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ama-spiral akhiqiza ukuhlukanisa okungaguquki, okubikezelwayo, okulula ukukuqapha nokulungisa, okwenza abe yisinqumo esihle kakhulu kubasebenzi abanethimba elincane lobuchwepheshe. Uma ucabanga ngokuhlanganiswa kwezindleko eziphansi zokwakha, izindleko eziphansi zokusebenza, nokusebenza okuthembekile, kulula ukubona ukuthi kungani ama-spiral ehlala eyisinqumo esikhethwayo ezinhlobonhlobo zezimbiwa zamaminerali. Kulabo abahlola zonke izinketho ezikhona, i-ALICOCO'sImikhiqizo ikhasi linikeza ukubuka okuningiliziwe kwamamodeli atholakalayo ezinhlobonhlobo zamaminerali.

Ukuze uqonde kahle i-spiral concentrator, kufanele uqale ubambe izisekelo zokwehlukaniswa ngamandla adonsela phansi (gravity separation), inqubo ehlukanisa izinhlayiya ngokusekelwe kumehluko wokuminyana (density) kuphoyilidi eligelezayo (fluid film). Lapho i-slurry ingena phezulu kwe-spiral, izinhlayiya ziqala ukwehla ngomsele ogobile, futhi i-water film iyancipha njengoba igeleza iya ngaphandle ngenxa yamandla e-centrifugal. Izinhlayiya ezisindayo, ezinokuminyana okuphezulu zivame ukuhlala ngokushesha kuphoyilidi bese zithintana nendawo yomsele, lapho ukungqubuzana kunciphisa ukunyakaza kwazo okuya ngaphandle futhi kuzidonsela ngaphakathi kwejika. Izinhlayiya ezilula, ezinokuminyana okuphansi zihlala zintanta engxenyeni yangaphandle ye-flow ehamba ngokushesha, lapho zithwalwa khona futhi ekugcineni zikhishwa emaphethelweni angaphandle. Amanzi okugeza (wash water) angezwa onqenqemeni lwangaphakathi asiza ukukhipha amaminerali asindayo phansi, kuyilapho ama-splitter blades aphansi kwe-spiral ehlukanisa umfula ube yi-concentrate, i-middlings, nama-tailings. Yonke le nqubo iyaqhubeka, ayisebenzi ngamandla (passive), futhi iqinile ngokuphawulekayo, yingakho ukwehlukaniswa ngamandla adonsela phansi kuseyisisekelo sezinhlelo eziningi zanamuhla.

Ukuziphatha kwezinhlayiyana ekugelezeni kwe-spiral kulawulwa ukulinganisela okubucayi kwamandla amaningana asebenza ngasikhathi sinye kuzo zonke izinhlamvu. Amandla e-centrifugal aphusha zonke izinhlayiyana ziphume zibheke odongeni lomsele, kuyilapho ukuthambekela kwangaphakathi komsele kanye nokudonswa kwefilimu yamanzi kuzidonsela emuva zibheke kukholomu emaphakathi. Amaminerali aminyene, njengoba esinda kakhulu, amelana nokuphushwa okuphumayo ngempumelelo futhi azinze endaweni yangaphakathi ehamba kancane, kuyilapho amaminerali alula e-gangue ekhukhulelwa aphume aye endaweni enesivinini esikhulu. Njengoba i-slurry iphenduka ngakunye, ukuhlukaniseka kuba sobala kakhulu, kube nebhande elihlanzekile le-heavy concentrate elakheka onqenqemeni lwangaphakathi kanye nebhande elibanzi le-tailings elibambelele onqenqemeni lwangaphandle. Izici eziningana ezihlanganisa ukuma kwezinhlayiyana, ukusabalalisa kobukhulu, kanye nokuminyana kwe-pulp kuthonya ukuthi lokhu kuhlukaniswa kwenzeka kahle kangakanani, yingakho ukulungiswa kwe-feed kubaluleke kakhulu. Ukuhluka okuncane kulezi zici kungashintsha ukulinganisela kwamandla, kubangele izinto ezingafakwanga endaweni efanele kanye nokuncipha kokutholakala. Ukwazi ukulinganisela lokhu umehluko phakathi kwe-spiral circuit enenzuzo naleyo elahlekelwa inani ngokuthula.

Izici ezibalulekile zokwakheka kwe-spiral yilezi: ubude be-pitch, ububanzi, kanye nenani lamajika, futhi ngasinye salezi zingxenye sithinta ngqo ukusebenza kokuhlukanisa. I-pitch, ibanga eliqondile elihanjwayo ekujikeni okukodwa okuphelele, ilawula isivinini okwehla ngaso i-slurry; i-pitch emqandeni ikhulisa umthamo kodwa inciphisa ukusebenza kahle kokuhlukanisa, kuyilapho i-pitch ethambile inikeza isikhathi esengeziwe sokuhlala ukuze izinhlayiya zihlukane ngezigaba. Ububanzi bunomthelela emandleni e-centrifugal atholwa izinhlayiya, ngobubanzi obukhulu ngokuvamile bukhiqiza amandla athambile okusiza ukutholakala kwezinhlayiya ezinhle. Inani lamajika linquma ukuthi i-slurry inamathuba amangaki okuhlukanisa, ngamajika amaningi ngokuvamile ekhiqiza i-concentrate ehlanzekile ngezindleko zokunciphisa umthamo. Ezinye izici zokwakheka zihlanganisa ukwakheka kweprofayili ye-trough, indawo yamachweba amanzi okugeza, kanye nokuhlelwa kwama-splitters ekugcineni kokukhipha. Abakhiqizi banamuhla, okuhlanganisa ne-ALICOCO, basebenzisa amamodeli athuthukile nokuhlolwa kwe-pilot ukuze balungise lezi zinto eziguquguqukayo ngezinsimbi ezithile namazinga okukhomba. Lapho zonke lezi zinto zihambisana kahle nokusetshenziswa, i-spiral iba ithuluzi elihleliwe lokuhlukanisa.

Izigxivizo ezijikelezayo (spiral concentrators) sezithole idumela lazo emikhakheni ehlukahlukene kakhulu, kusukela ezihlabathini ezinamaminerali asindayo kuya ezimbiwa zezinsimbi eziyisisekelo ngisho nasekuthuthukisweni kwamalahle. Ekucutshungulweni kwensimbi, izigxivizo ezijikelezayo zisetshenziswa kabanzi ukuthuthukisa ama-hematite nama-magnetite concentrates, kususwa i-silica nezinye izimbiwa ezingeyona ingqikithi ngaphambi kokwenza amapellets noma ukushiswa. Izimboni zamalahle zisebenzisa izigxivizo ezijikelezayo ukulahla i-pyritic sulfur nomlotha, zikhiqize uphethiloli ohlanzekile, oyigugu kakhulu wokukhiqiza ugesi nokusetshenziswa kwezinsimbi. Imisebenzi ye-chromite emhlabeni wonke incike kumasekhethi ajikelezayo ukuze ithole le mineral ebalulekile yokwenza izingxube, kuyilapho abakhiqizi be-tin ne-tantalum beyisebenzisela ukuhlukanisa i-cassiterite ne-columbite ezindaweni ezilula eziyimfucumfucu. Imisebenzi yegolide, ikakhulukazi leyo ecubungula ama-alluvial noma amadwala agugile, ithola ukuthi izigxivizo ezijikelezayo zilungele ukugxilisa igolide ngaphambi kokusetshenziswa kwe-cyanidation enzima noma ukuhlukaniswa ngamandla adonsela phansi njenge-Knelson concentrator. Uhlu luqhubekela ezimbiweni ezingavamile, ezihlabathini ezinamaminerali, nasezimbiweni zezimboni, okufakazela ukuthi isigxivizo esijikelezayo singesinye sezinto eziguquguqukayo kakhulu ezake zathuthukiswa emkhakheni wokuhlukanisa ngamandla adonsela phansi.

Ukukhetha i-spiral efanele yensimbi yakho kudinga ukuhlaziywa ngokucophelela kokusabalalisa kosayizi wezinhlayiya zokudla kwakho, ukuminyana kwamaminerali, kanye nezici zokukhululwa. Izinsimbi ezimahhadlahhadla ezingaphezu kwamamayimitha ambalwa ngokuvamile zidinga ama-spiral anobubanzi obukhulu ane-pitch ethambile, kuyilapho izinsimbi ezicolekile ezingaphansi kwama-micrometer ayikhulu zizuzisa kakhulu kuma-trough profiles acwengekile kanye namazinga aphezulu okugeza kwamanzi. Umehluko wokuminyana okhethekile phakathi kwe-mineral ebalulekile ne-gangue yinto ebaluleke kakhulu; umehluko okungenani weyunithi eyodwa ngokuvamile uyadingeka ukuze kube nokuhlukaniswa okusebenzayo kwe-spiral. Kumele futhi ucabangele ibanga elifiswayo le-concentrate kanye nokutholakala, ngoba lezi zinhloso zinquma inani lezigaba zokuhlanza nokuhlola ku-circuit yakho. Ukuhlolwa nge-pilot-scale kunconyiwa kakhulu, futhi abakhiqizi abaningi abanegama elihle, kuhlanganise nalabo abavezwe ku-ALICOCOIzixazululo ikhasi, ungasebenzisa amasampula akho angempela ukuze uhlole. Uhlelo lokuhlola oluhleliwe luzoveza uhlobo olufanele lwe-spiral, izinga lokudla, kanye nezilungiselelo zamanzi okuhlanza ngaphambi kokuthi utshale imali enkulu. Ukutshala isikhathi ekukhetheni okufanele manje kuzoletha inzuzo impilo yonke yokusebenza.

Izigxivizo ezijikelezayo (spiral concentrators) azivamisile ukusebenza zodwa; kunalokho, zivame ukuhlanganiswa kumjikelezo obanzi kanye neminye imishini yamandla adonsela phansi (gravity) nengeyona yamandla adonsela phansi ukuze kukhuliswe ukutholakala kukonke. Ezimbonini eziningi, izigxivizo ezijikelezayo zisebenza njengesinyathelo sokuqala (rougher step), zikhiqiza ukugxilisa kwangaphambili (pre-concentrate) okuthi kamuva kuthuthukiswe ngamatafula, izihlukanisi zamagnetic, noma amaseli e-flotation. Isibonelo, umjikelezo we-chromite ungasebenzisa izigxivizo ezijikelezayo ukulahla amanani amakhulu edwala lensila ngaphambi kokudlulisa ukugxilisa kusihlukanisi samagnetic ukuze kwenziwe ukuhlanzwa kokugcina. Ezitshalweni zensimbi (iron ore), amabhange ezigxivizo ezijikelezayo ezigabeni eziningi avame ukuhlanganiswa nama-hydrocyclones, izihlungi, nezihlukanisi zamagnetic ukuze kukhiqizwe ukugxilisa kwezinga le-pellet. Uhlobo lwezigxivizo ezijikelezayo olungaguquki lwenza kube lula ukuzihlela ngokulandelana noma ngokuhambisana, okuvumela izitshalo ukuthi zilungise i-flow sheet yazo ngokuya ngezidingo zazo eziqondile zokukhiqiza nekhwalithi. Ukuhlanganiswa futhi kunciphisa umthwalo emishinini elandelayo, esebenzisa amandla amaningi, kunciphisa izindleko zokusebenza ezizonke futhi kuthuthukise ukusimama kokusebenza. Lapho uklama i-flow sheet yakho, cabanga ukuthi isigxivizo esijikelezayo sisebenzisana kanjani nayo yonke imishini engaphambi nangemva kwaso enqubweni.

Naphezu komlando wazo omude, ama-spiral avame ukungaqondwa kahle, futhi eminye imicabango engalungile ihola abasebenzi ukuthi bawalahle bheka ezobuchwepheshe obukhazimulayo njenge-flotation noma ukwehlukaniswa ngamandla kazibuthe. Inkolelo evamile ukuthi ama-spiral awakwazi ukuthola amazinga aphezulu okuhlanzeka okungenzeka nge-flotation, kodwa ezimbiwa eziningi ezihlukaniswe kahle, ama-spiral akhiqiza ama-concentrates aqhudelana noma adlule awe-flotation ngezindleko ezingaphansi kakhulu. Enye inganekwane ukuthi ama-spiral afanele kuphela izihlabathi ezimahhadlahhadla, kanti empeleni ama-spiral anamuhla asebenza kahle kakhulu angaphatha izinto ezicolekile kuze kufike ku-75 micrometers futhi ngisho nangaphansi kwezinye izimo. Abanye abasebenzi bacabanga ukuthi ukusebenza kwe-spiral akuhambisani ngokwemvelo, kodwa ukushintshashintsha kucishe kuhlale kubangelwa ukungalawuleki kahle kokungeniswayo noma ukungagcinwa kahle, hhayi iphutha eliyisisekelo lomshini. Iqiniso ukuthi ama-spiral abikezelwa kalula uma ukungeniswayo kuzinzile, kukalwe kahle, futhi kungenazikhukhula eziningi noma udaka. Ngokususa lezi zinganekwane, abaphathi bezimboni bangenza izinqumo ezinolwazi ngokukhetha imishini.

Kubalulekile futhi ukuqaphela ukuthi i-spiral ithola ukuba khona okungalindelekile emasikweni adumile, okunye kwalokhu kufiphaza indlela abantu ababona ngayo leli thuluzi lezimboni. Izethameli sekuyisikhathi eside zithakaselwa i-geometry egobile, ehehayo ye-ringu spiral evela efilimini edumile yobuhlakani, lapho iphethini eyingozi ibonakala idonsela umbukeli ephusheni elibi. Ngokufanayo, i-saw spiral logo evela ochungechungeni lwamafilimu oluhlonishwayo isiphenduke uphawu lokwesaba, emelela ugibe lapho ukuphunyuka kubonakala kungenakwenzeka, ngisho nama-blades ajikelezayo anikeza i-texas chainsaw izinga elisha lokwesabisa kuleyo chungechunge lwakudala lwe-horror nawo abelana ngomfanekiso ofanayo oyindilinga. Okuxakayo ukuthi umumo ofanayo leyo mafilimu awusebenzisela ukuvusa ukwesaba kubabukeli unika amandla enye yezinqubo ezithambile, ezingenabungozi, futhi ezivumelana nemvelo kakhulu ezimbonini zanamuhla. I-ringu spiral igoba ingena ngaphakathi, njenge-helix eyehlayo ye-separator eqondisa amaminerali asindayo enkabeni, kuyilapho i-saw spiral iphakamisa umkhiqizo okufanele uphathwe ngenhlonipho, kakhulukazi njengoba abasebenzi bephatha umshini onembile. Ukubuyisela i-spiral njengophawu lokutholwa kabusha kwezinsiza okuqhubekayo, kunokuba kube ukwesaba kwe-cinematic, kusiza imboni ukuthi ihehe amakhono nokutshalwa kwezimali ekudingayo. Ekugcineni, i-spiral ayesabisi futhi ayimfihlakalo; imane iyithuluzi eliqondakala kahle elivuzisa ukunakwa ngokucophelela ngokusebenza okuthembekile.

Okunye ukungaqondi okubalulekile kuphathelene nemikhawulo nokuthi inganqotshwa kanjani ngobunjiniyela obufanele nokwakheka kwenqubo. Ama-spiral awasebenzi kahle ezinhlayiyeni ezingaphansi kosayizi othile, futhi awasebenzi kahle lapho ukudla kuqukethe inani eliphezulu lobumba, amaslime, noma izinhlayiya ezingajwayelekile kakhulu. Izinga lokudla eliningi kakhulu lingagcwalisa umsele, kubangele ukuhlukaniswa okungafanele nokuncipha kokutholakala, kuyilapho amanzi okugeza anganele engavumela amaminerali alula ukuthi afinyelele kwi-concentrate. Lemikhawulo, nokho, ingancishiswa ngokulungiselela okusemfuleni okufana nokususa i-desliming, ukuhlola, nokusebenzisa i-hydrocyclone ukuze kulethwe ukudla okulungiselelwe kahle ebangeni lama-spiral. Ezimweni eziningi, ukwengeza isinyathelo esilula sokukhipha i-desliming ngaphambi kwama-spiral kuguqula isekethe engasebenzi kahle ibe enesebenza kahle kakhulu. Ukuklama inani elifanele lezigaba, okuhlanganisa ukuqeda (roughing), ukuhlanza (cleaning), nokukhipha (scavenging), nakho kuqinisekisa ukuthi isekethe yama-spiral ihlangabezana kokubili izinhloso zekhwalithi nokutholakala. Ngokuhlola ngobuqotho le mikhawulo nokuyakha ngokuyizungeza, abasebenzi bangavula amandla aphelele ezitshalo zabo zama-spiral.

Ukubaluleka kokulungiswa kokudla akunakushaywa indiva, ngoba ikhwalithi yalokho okungena ku-spiral inquma konke okulandelayo. I-spiral circuit iyazwela kakhulu ekusabalaliseni kosayizi wezinhlayiya, ukuminyana kwe-pulp, kanye nokuba khona kwe-fine slimes okungakhuphula i-viscosity ye-slurry futhi kucekele phansi ukuhlukaniswa kwezendlalelo. Abasebenzi kufanele bahlose ukuletha ukudla okunobubanzi bosayizi obulawulwa ngokuqinile, ngokuvamile phakathi kuka-0.075 millimeter no-2 millimeter ezimweni eziningi ze-metalliferous, kanye nokuqukethwe kwezinto eziqinile phakathi kuka-15 no-30 ekhulwini ngesisindo. Ukuhlola ukudla okungaphezu kosayizi kuvikela i-trough ekubhajweni futhi kuvimbela i-coarse gangue ukuthi ingabiki kahle ku-concentrate. Ukususa i-desliming, okuvame ukutholakala ngama-hydrocyclone noma ithangi elula le-elutriation, kususa ingxenye ye-ultra-fine eyehlisa ukusebenza kahle kokuhlukanisa futhi ikhulise ukusetshenziswa kwe-reagent ezansi komugqa. Ekugcineni, ukulawula izinga lokudla okuzinzile kuqinisekisa ukuthi i-spiral ayitholi ukugxuma, okungadodobalisa iphethini yokugeleza futhi kunciphise ukutholakala kabusha. Ukunaka okuncane ekuqaleni ekulungisweni kokudla kungenye yezindlela ezishibhile nezisebenza kahle kakhulu zokuthuthukisa umkhiqizo esitshalweni sokucubungula amaminerali.

Ukuthuthukisa umjikelezo we-spiral concentrator kuqala ngokuqonda imingcele eyinhloko ethinta ukutholakala kanye nezinga le-concentrate, okungukuthi izinga lokudla, ukuminyana kwe-pulp, izinga lamanzi okugeza, kanye nezikhundla ze-splitter. Izinga lokudla kufanele lihambisane ngokucophelela nomthamo wokuklama we-spiral; ukondla ngokweqile kunciphisa isikhathi sokuhlala futhi kugcwalise umgodi, kanti ukondla ngaphansi kunciphisa umthamo ngaphandle kokuthuthukisa ukuhlukaniswa. Ukuminyana kwe-pulp kuthonya ukujiyela kwe-slurry nokuziphatha kokuhlala kwezinhlayiya, lapho ama-pulp aminyene ngokuvamile elukhuni ukuhlukaniswa kahle. Amanzi okugeza nawo ayithuluzi elibalulekile; ukwandisa amanzi okugeza kungathuthukisa izinga ngokukhukhula izinhlayiya ezilula ebhandeni elingaphakathi, kodwa amanzi amaningi kakhulu anciphisa ukutholakala ngokuhlambulula i-concentrate. Izikhundla ze-splitter zilawula ububanzi bokusika kwe-concentrate nama-middlings, ngakho ukulungisa zona ngamamilimitha ambalwa nje kungashintsha kakhulu ukushintshana phakathi kwezinga nokutholakala. Ukuthatha amasampula nokuhlaziya njalo kwemifudlana ye-concentrate, middlings, nama-tailings kubalulekile ukuze kulungiswe lezi zilungiselelo futhi kuqinisekiswe ukusebenza okuphelele.

Ukunakekela kwama-spiral concentrator kulula ngendlela emangalisayo, kodwa futhi kuwumkhuba izimboni eziningi eziwushaya indiva kuze kube yilapho ukusebenza kwehla ngokusobala. Umsebenzi ojwayelekile wokunakekela ukuhlola izindawo zomgodi (trough surfaces) ukuthi azagqwalile, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni lapho amaminerali anokuminyana okuphezulu eqoqana khona futhi egugula ulwelwesi (lining) ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Izimbobo zamanzi (wash water ports) kanye namabhokisi okuphakelayo (feed boxes) kufanele zihlolwe njalo ukuthi azivalekile, ngoba ukusatshalaliswa kwamanzi okukhawulelwe noma okungalingani kubangela ukuhlukaniswa kwehle ngokushesha. Ama-splitters kanye nama-product launderers kufanele agcinwe engenazo izinto eziqongelelayo noma imfucumfucu, okungaphambukisa ukugeleza futhi kungcolise imifudlana ye-concentrate noma ye-tailings. Amabhodi (bolts), izisekelo (supports), kanye nohlaka (frames) kufanele ahlolwe ukuthi akagqwalile noma axegile, ikakhulukazi ezitshalweni ezinamanzi anamakhemikhali anamandla noma izindawo ezinomswakama. Ukulandela isheduli yokunakekela enconyiwe ngumkhiqizi, kanye nokugcina uhlu lwezinsimbi eziyisipele (spare parts), kuvimbela ukuphazamiseka okungahleliwe futhi kugcine i-spiral isebenza ngendlela eklanywe ngayo.

Ukuxazulula izinkinga ezivamile zama-spiral ngokuvamile kwehlela ohlwini olufushane lwezimbangela ezingenzeka ezingahlolwa ngendlela ehlelekile ngemizuzu embalwa. Uma ukululama kwehla ngokuzumayo, izinto zokuqala okusolwa kuzo ukukhuphuka kwezinga lokondla, ukwehluleka kwesigaba sokukhipha amanzi, noma amachweba amanzi okugeza avalekile adale ukugeleza okungalingani. Uma izinga le-concentrate liphansi kakhulu, hlola izilungiselelo ze-splitter ukuze uqinisekise ukuthi azibambi kakhulu ibhande langaphandle le-tailings, futhi uhlole ukuthi ukugeleza kwamanzi okugeza akunciphile yini. Ushintsho olubonakalayo ephethini yokugeleza, njenge-turbulence noma ukujikeleza okufushane, ngokuvamile lukhomba ukuvinjelwa ebhokisini lokondla noma ingxenye ye-trough egugile edinga ukulungiswa. Ukukhipha amagwebu esigaxeni se-slurry, okuyinto engavamile kodwa engenzeka, kungalandelelwa kumakhemikhali asele avela ku-flotation engaphezulu angase aphazamise i-film. Ngokugcina irekhodi lezinkomba zokusebenza nokuqaphela okuvamile kokunakekela, abasebenzi bangabona izitayela ngaphambi kokuba zibe izinkinga ezinkulu. Khumbula ukuthi ukutshala umzamo omncane wokuqapha njalo ngeshift kuvimbela ukulahlekelwa okukhulu kwensimbi ebalulekile ekupheleni kwenyanga.
