The Wet Pan Mill, also known as a gold grinding machine or gold wet pan grinder, is widely used in the mining industry for grinding and beneficiation of gold ore and other minerals. It is an ideal alternative to ball mills, especially for small and medium-scale gold processing plants.

What is a Wet Pan Mill?

A Wet Pan Mill is a grinding equipment that uses rollers and a grinding base to crush and grind materials. It is mainly applied in gold ore processing to separate gold from gangue through repeated grinding and mixing with mercury or other chemicals.

This machine is suitable for processing various minerals, including:
gold ore, silver ore, iron ore, copper ore, lead, zinc, tungsten, molybdenum, etc.

Key Advantages of Wet Pan Mill

1. High Gold Recovery Rate
The wet grinding process ensures fine particle size, making it easier to capture fine gold and improve recovery efficiency.

2. Easy Operation & Low Maintenance
With a simple structure and user-friendly design, operators can easily run and maintain the machine without complex training.

3. Cost-Effective Investment
Compared with ball mills, the Wet Pan Mill requires lower initial investment and consumes less energy, making it an economical choice for miners.

4. Durable and Long Service Life
Made of high-quality steel and wear-resistant materials, the machine is designed to withstand harsh working conditions.

5. Wide Application Range
Suitable for gold, silver, copper, iron and other mineral processing, especially in small-scale mining operations.

Working Principle

The motor drives the reducer, which transmits power to the main shaft. The grinding rollers rotate around the pan and continuously crush and grind the materials.

During operation:

• Raw materials and water are fed into the pan

• The rollers apply pressure and shear force

• Fine particles are formed and mixed evenly

• Gold particles are separated through amalgamation or gravity methods

Technical Features

• Capacity: 1–50 tons per hour (customizable)

• Power: 5.5–45 kW

• Roller material: High manganese steel or alloy steel

• Pan diameter: 1200mm / 1500mm / 1600mm / 1800mm / 2000mm

• Discharge method: Overflow or manual discharge

Applications

Wet Pan Mills are widely used in:

• Small and medium gold mining plants

• Alluvial gold processing

• Rock gold grinding

• Mineral beneficiation production lines

They are often used together with:

• Hammer crushers

• Jaw crushers

• Centrifugal concentrators

• Shaking tables
