Kemix Interstage Screen

WhatsApp Order
The Kemix Interstage Screen is a proprietary design used to retain carbon in Carbon-in-Pulp (CIP) and Carbon-in-Leach (CIL) circuits while allowing pulp to flow through . The patented design provides reliable carbon retention with low maintenance, minimising the need for regular cleaning and backwashing . The screen’s unique design prevents carbon from locking into the screen apertures, reducing wear and extending screen life . The screen is supplied in a range of capacities to suit various process flow requirements . The design can be adapted to suit either existing Kemix or other suppliers’ agitator mechanisms . Suitable for gold processing plants and mining operations. Order numbers: Kemix Interstage Screen 75mm aperture; Kemix Interstage Screen 100mm aperture; Kemix Interstage Screen 150mm aperture; Kemix Interstage Screen 200mm aperture (various capacities).

Kemix Interstage Screen

PRIMARY USES

1. Carbon Retention in CIP and CIL Gold Recovery Circuits
Primary Use: A high-performance interstage screen used to retain carbon in Carbon-in-Pulp (CIP) and Carbon-in-Leach (CIL) circuits while allowing pulp to flow through. Essential for gold processing plants and mining operations to maintain carbon inventories within each adsorption tank during the gold recovery process.
How it helps: For metallurgists and process engineers, the interstage screen provides reliable carbon retention with low maintenance requirements. The patented design reduces the risk of carbon loss through carryover, which can result in significant economic losses. The screen minimises the need for regular cleaning compared to standard wedge wire screens and, in most cases, does not require backwashing. The design prevents carbon from locking into the screen apertures, reducing wear and extending screen life.
2. Low Maintenance and Long-Life Design
Primary Use: Engineered for long life and low maintenance in aggressive pulp environments.
How it helps: The design minimizes the need for regular cleaning compared to standard wedge wire screens and, in most cases, does not require backwashing . The screen’s construction prevents carbon from locking into the screen apertures, reducing wear and extending screen life .

SECONDARY USES

1. Carbon-in-Pulp (CIP) Circuits: Retains carbon in CIP gold recovery circuits.
2. Carbon-in-Leach (CIL) Circuits: Retains carbon in CIL circuits where leaching and adsorption occur simultaneously.
3. Carbon Fine Screening: Prevents fine carbon particles from passing to subsequent tanks .
4. Pulp Classification: Provides screening of pulp in other mineral processing applications.

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear appropriate PPE, including safety goggles, gloves, and steel-toed boots when handling or maintaining the interstage screen.
Lockout/Tagout: Isolate and lock out the agitator mechanism before any maintenance or inspection work on the screen.
Weight: Some screen units may be heavy. Use appropriate lifting equipment to prevent injury.
Training requirement: Maintenance personnel must be properly trained on the safe and correct procedures for installing, maintaining, and cleaning the interstage screen.

2. FIRST AID MEASURES

Eye Exposure: If pulp or chemicals splash into the eyes, flush immediately with plenty of clean water for at least 15 minutes, holding eyelids open. Seek medical attention.
Skin Contact: Wash exposed skin with soap and water. If irritation develops, seek medical attention.
Inhalation: Not applicable for normal use.

3. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flammability: The screen is not flammable. Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding equipment and materials.
Fire Response: In the event of a fire, evacuate the area and call emergency services. Use appropriate extinguishers.
