Alicoco Mineral Technology Co., Limited is a leading innovator in the field of mineral processing, specializing in patented spiral chute technologies designed for efficient and sustainable mineral separation. Established in 2015 in Guangzhou, Alicoco has consistently demonstrated a commitment to eco-friendly practices that promote environmental stewardship while maintaining excellent mineral recovery rates. The company’s approach centers on developing advanced spiral solutions that minimize energy consumption and reduce waste, proving that high performance and sustainability can go hand in hand.

Spiral technology plays a critical role in mineral beneficiation by harnessing gravity to separate valuable minerals from gangue with minimal chemical use. Alicoco’s patented spirals are engineered to optimize the recovery of fine-grained minerals, a category often challenging for conventional equipment. Emphasizing customized, eco-friendly solutions, Alicoco supports industries worldwide in achieving sustainable mining operations that align with global environmental goals.

Fine-grained minerals — typically defined as particles smaller than 0.5 mm — present serious processing challenges due to their small size and complex surface properties. These minerals often include valuable metals such as gold, hematite, and other industrial minerals that are difficult to liberate using traditional gravity separation methods. The intricacies involved in their recovery require innovative technologies that can efficiently handle fine particles without generating excessive tailings or environmental hazards.

Conventional mineral processing equipment commonly struggles with fine particles, leading to low recovery rates and high operational costs. This challenge is compounded by the environmental impacts of chemical reagents and high energy usage. Alicoco’s eco-friendly spiral solutions address these hurdles by providing a gravity-based separation process that is both selective and efficient, minimizing the need for chemical additives and reducing energy consumption.

Alicoco’s spiral concentrators are designed with patented features that enhance the recovery of fine-grained minerals. Their spirals employ a unique saw spiral design that improves the separation efficiency by creating a more stable fluid flow and better particle stratification. This innovative approach ensures maximum recovery of target minerals such as fine hematite and gold, while rejecting unwanted materials effectively.

The saw spiral technology, including models like the saw 9 spiral saw, is engineered to handle variable feed conditions and mineral types, making Alicoco’s spirals versatile tools in mineral processing plants. These spirals operate with lower water and energy consumption compared to conventional processing equipment, supporting Alicoco’s mission of providing green mineral processing solutions to customers globally.

Additionally, Alicoco’s spirals are manufactured using high-quality materials and designed for durability and ease of maintenance. This reduces downtime and operational costs for mining companies while extending equipment lifespan, further enhancing their eco-friendly footprint.

Alicoco has demonstrated the effectiveness of its spiral concentrators in numerous projects worldwide, particularly in the recovery of fine-grained minerals. For example, in gold mining operations, Alicoco’s spirals have significantly improved gold recovery rates by efficiently separating fine gold particles from the ore matrix without chemical treatments. This success reduces environmental impact and improves the economic viability of mining projects.

Similarly, in hematite processing, Alicoco’s spiral technology has been proven to deliver high concentrate grades and recovery efficiencies, overcoming challenges posed by fine particle liberation. These case studies are detailed on the Cases page, which highlights various mining projects that benefited from Alicoco’s sustainable mineral processing solutions.

These project insights exemplify how Alicoco’s approach not only meets but exceeds customer expectations by providing environmentally responsible technologies without compromising on processing performance.

Opting for Alicoco’s eco-friendly spiral solutions brings several critical benefits to mineral processing operations. First and foremost, these spirals reduce the environmental footprint by eliminating or minimizing the use of harmful chemicals and lowering energy consumption, aligning with global sustainability standards. This translates into healthier ecosystems and safer working environments.

Moreover, the enhanced recovery rates achieved with Alicoco’s spirals mean that mining companies can extract more value from their ore bodies, enhancing profitability while reducing waste generation. The durability and low maintenance requirements of Alicoco’s spiral concentrators also contribute to lower operational costs and increased equipment uptime.
