The Knelson GX Concentrating Cone Breakthrough in Gravity Concentration Technology

March 2021

The latest development of the Knelson GX concentrating cone is culmination of 40-plus years of research and operational experience.

For decades, Knelson concentrators have been synonymous with industry-leading gravity recovery of fine gold and precious metals. As atop product in its field, no other system on the marker has proven to surpass the performance of Knelson Gravity Concetrators.

At the heart of this gravity separation technology is the Knelson cencentrating cone. And our new patented GX model delivers impressive recovery enhancements. By incorporating an advanced distribution of fluidisation water across the entire concentrating cone, the Knelson GX significantly improves recovery.

The development of the Knelson GX concentrating cone has resulted in an innovative step change in overall coarse and fine gold recovery. Test data shows that gold recovery in all size faractions improved significantly with the GX cone.

As with all Knelson concentrating cones, the GX model offers a robust design capable of operating at high G-forces, while maintaining long life and high availability. This new innovative cone design be retrofitted into operating units.

Technical advantages:

Highest metallurgical performance
Tangential water fluidisation imrpoves distribution
Balanced fluidisation allows for upgrading of concentrate through entire cone
Fully fluidised cone maximises recovery surface area
Will operate on feed densities of up to 75%
Lower overall water requirement and ability to use process water
Longer intervals between cleaning
Improved wear resistance, prolonging operating life

Please stay tuned for upcoming news and developments on how Consep and FLS Knelson can retrofit and implement the GX cones to your existing machines or supply for you next project!

Consep and Heath & Sherwood forge a new partnership

July 2018

Consep and Heath & Sherwood have worked together for over 20 years, with Consep representing the H&S sampling range. Heath & Sherwood are a Canadian legend with a continuous 90 year history of designing and manufacturing equipment in the historic mining centre of Kirkland Lake. Over their 90 years of operation Heath & Sherwood have partnered with local mining companies to develop a wide range of technology for sampling and the smelting industries.
Our long term partnership has taken a new path during 2018, with Consep taking part ownership of H&S. The change in ownership creates many opportunities for both companies, most obviously to see the complete range of sampling equipment offered worldwide with our newly integrated companies.

To commemorate the start of our new partnership, Consep provided a sculpture for installation at Heath & Sherwood’s Kirkland Lake head office. The sculpture is by local artist Mike Camp, and has been renamed Sydney T Kirkland, for Sydney to Kirkland Lake. Kirkland Lake is known as the town that built the NHL, and so is the natural home for Syd.
