它用于海滨沙矿，金矿、锡矿、钨矿、铁矿和铅锌等矿物的选别；也有用于从浮铜尾矿中回收铀、锆矿物，而铀矿物的富集比高达1000倍；或且用于磨矿回路中回收已解离的金粒，以及选矿厂尾矿和堆存的老尾矿中回收有价矿物，愈来愈被人们所重视。

This  kind of equipment is used to sort minerals such as beach placers, gold ores,  tin ores, tungsten ores and lead-zinc ores, or used to recycle uranium mineral and  zirconium minerals from tailings of floating copper. However, the concentration  ratio of uranium minerals reaches as high as 1,000 times. Or it is used to  recycle dissociated gold grains on the grinding circuit as well as recycle  valuable minerals from tailings of ore dressing plants and stored old tailings.  It attacks more and more attention.

圆锥选矿机主要优点是处理能力大，与跳汰、螺旋选矿机和摇床等设备相比，占地面积小，处理每吨矿石的投资费用最低，它有效回收粒度为40-400微米，圆锥选矿机可选矿石分选粒度为0.074 -2mm。给矿中的重矿物含量对选别指标有影响，重矿物含量少，选矿回收率也下降。给矿浓度应在55-65%之间。给矿中含泥量（ -0.074mm级别）不宜超过5-10%。

The  main advantages of cone separators are: Their handling ability is strong;  compared with equipment including jigs, spiral separators and shaking table,  they occupy small area; their investment costs to handle every ton of ores is  the lowest; their effective recycling granularity range is 40-400μm; and the  separation size of washable ores for cone separators is 0.074-2mm. The content of heavy minerals in the  feeding ores has effects on the sorting of indexes. When the content of heavy  minerals is low, the ore dressing recovery percentage also decreases. The feed  concentration shall be 55-65%. The silt content (grade 0.074mm) in the minerals shall  ideally not exceed 5-10%.
