Well, I'm guessing here, and I know you don't like guesses.....

Part of the vacuum filter for the beneficiation plant?

It's a spiral concentrator in the same ore beneficiation plant. It concentrates the mineral by using gravity and centrifugal force to move the lighter components of the ore to the outside of the spiral as the slurry flows down the spiral. Heavier mineral concentrates in the centre of the spiral from where it is collected.

Just a guess, Brian?

Don't tell me Fitsy and Jon are going to clean up in this competition as well.
Then Roger will come home and it will be even more homework for the rest of us.

It's not a guess Ian he knows it's a Centrifuge he just can't remember the word. Or did Julius Sumner Miller make it a dirty word?
