Wet Pan Mill
The wet pan mill is a traditional yet highly efficient ore grinding machine, widely used in small- and medium-scale gold, silver, lead, zinc, iron, and other metal ore processing plants.
Capacity: 0.5-3 TPH
Feeding Size: <30 mm
Discharge Size: 0.074-0.6 mm
Process Material: Gold, iron, molybdenum, lead, zinc, antimony, etc.
Wet Pan Mill Overview
Wet Pan Mill, also known as amalgamation grinding mill, gold grinder mill, is a versatile ore grinding pan mill for wet materials. It’s the best replacement for a medium-small capacity ball mill, owing to the excellent performance for wet crushing, small investment, and high output, widely used for separating gold, iron, molybdenum, lead, zinc, antimony, and so on.
Wet Pan Mills Types
Single roller, double rollers (common), three rollers.
Advantages
Wet Pan Mill Advantages
The wet pan mill delivers efficient and uniform grinding with the ability to produce fine particles down to 1mm, while offering high capacity with outputs reaching up to 40 tonnes per hour. Its low energy consumption, quiet operation, and safety features make it an economical and reliable choice. The mill is easy to operate and maintain, ensuring smooth and evenly distributed grinding. Additionally, its durable, wearable grinding rollers significantly extend the equipment’s service life, providing long-term cost savings.
✔ Low Cost & Simple Structure: Reliable mechanical design with minimal operational requirements.
✔ Energy Efficient: Uses less power compared to ball mills for similar output.
✔ High Recovery Rate: Effective for gold amalgamation due to its grinding and mixing action.
✔ Flexibility: Can process both free-milling and refractory ores.
✔ Wet Grinding: Reduces dust pollution and enhances mineral liberation.

Wet Pan Mill Working Principle
The motor transfers power to the decelerator, then the central drive shaft transfers to the horizontal shaft, finally, the Roller moves the anticlockwise direction, the material in the wet mill is ground into fine particles. While rolling and kneading the minerals, the roller mixes the material and water thoroughly, the monomer dissociated mineral fine particles float to the upper surface and are discharged through the overflow discharge port; coarse-grained minerals settle at the bottom of the pan and continue to be ground until the fineness reaches the standard.
