Streamline your copper mining project with our turnkey 200 TPD Copper Ore Beneficiation Line in Peru. Designed and manufactured by Zhongxin Heavy Industrial, this complete EPC flotation plant integrates four-stage processing—crushing, wet ball grinding, differential froth flotation, and concentrate dewatering—engineered for high copper recovery (≥92%) and low operating costs.
To address the specific characteristics of Peru's copper mineral resources—predominantly porphyry and skarn-type copper deposits (such as chalcopyrite and bornite) with run-of-mine (ROM) grades of 0.4% - 2.0% Cu and associated gold, silver, or molybdenum—Zhongxin Heavy Industrial designed and delivered a complete copper flotation processing line with a daily throughput of 200 TPD.
The plant encompasses four core process stages: primary crushing, closed-circuit wet ball milling, differential flotation, and concentrate dewatering. Executed under an EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) turnkey model, Zhongxin provided a full-lifecycle service package ranging from preliminary ore beneficiation testing to equipment manufacturing, field installation, commissioning, and local operator training.

Four-Stage Process Flow Diagram
ROM Ore (≤210mm) ➔ Trough Feeder ➔ Primary Jaw Crusher ➔ Secondary Fine Jaw Crusher
➔ Vibrating Screen (20mm) ➔ Intermediate Bin ➔ Electromagnetic Feeder
➔ Wet Ball Mill ➔ Spiral Classifier (Overflow -200 mesh)
➔ Agitation Tank ➔ Flotation Circuit (1 Rougher, 2 Scavengers, 2 Cleaners)
➔ Center-Drive Thickener ➔ Disc Vacuum Filter ➔ Copper Concentrate Cake (≤12% Moisture)
1. Crushing & Screening Circuit
Process Flow: ROM Ore (≤210mm) ➔ Raw Ore Bin ➔ Trough Feeder ➔ Primary Jaw Crusher ➔ Fine Jaw Crusher ➔ Vibrating Screen (20mm) ➔ Intermediate Transfer Bin.
Operating Conditions: Operates 10 hours/day with a crushing throughput of 16 - 20 { t/h}. Oversize material (>20mm) is returned in a closed circuit to the fine jaw crusher. The crushing section operates independently, providing a buffer of qualified 0 - 20 mm}$ material for the grinding circuit.
2. Grinding & Classification Circuit
Process Flow: Intermediate Bin ➔ Vibrating Feeder ➔ Belt Conveyor ➔ Wet Ball Mill ➔ Spiral Classifier.
Operating Conditions: Operates 24 hours/day with a ball mill feed rate of 8 - 9 t/h. Classifier overflow particle size is controlled to -200 mesh (≤0.074mm). Coarse underflow returns to the ball mill for regrinding in a closed-circuit loop. Qualified slurry flows by gravity into the agitation tank.
3.Differential Flotation Circuit
Process Flow: -200 mesh Slurry ➔ Agitation Tank (Reagent Conditioning) ➔ Rougher Flotation ➔ Scavenger Flotation ➔ Cleaner Flotation.
Operating Conditions: Employs a standard flotation circuit comprising 1 roughing stage, 2 scavenging stages, and 2 cleaning stages. Collectors, frothers, and modifiers are added quantitatively from reagent tanks. Middlings (scavenger froth) are returned to the roughing stage in a closed circuit to ensure an overall copper recovery rate of ≥ 92%.
4.Concentrate Dewatering Circuit
Process Flow: Cleaner Copper Concentrate Froth ➔ Slurry Pump ➔ Thickener (Primary Thickening) ➔ Disc Vacuum Filter (Secondary Dewatering).
Operating Conditions: Produces a copper concentrate filter cake with a moisture content of ≤ 12%, suitable for direct packaging and transport. Thickener overflow and filter filtrate are recovered into the process water recycling tank, achieving a closed-loop water cycle complying with local environmental discharge standards in Peru.
