Wet pan mill
Wet Pan Mill – Double Wheel Gold Grinding Machine
Product Description
The Wet Mill, also known as a wet pan mill or double wheel grinder, is a highly efficientgold processing equipment used for fine grinding and mineral extraction. It is widely applied in the
processing of gold ore, silver ore, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, and non-metallic minerals. This
wet grinding machine is ideal for small and medium-sized concentrators and mineral powder plants.
The machine utilizes a pair of grinding wheels to crush, grind, and mix mineral ores with water. Through high-pressure
rolling and intense friction, the gold particles are fully liberated from the surrounding materials. Unlike chemical leaching
or manual separation, the gold wet pan mill performs physical grinding, offering higher recovery rates while
reducing environmental impact.
Key Features
- High gold recovery efficiency through physical grinding and separation
- Wide applicability: Suitable for vein gold, alluvial gold, rock gold, and associated gold ores
- Energy-saving design with low power consumption and compact footprint
- Easy operation and maintenance: No need for professional operators
- Customizable sizes from 850mm to 1600mm wheel diameter to fit different processing needs

Application Scenarios
The double wheel wet mill is widely used in:
- Gold ore processing: Efficient crushing and grinding of vein, rock, and placer gold
- Fine grinding of rare metals: Suitable for silver, copper, manganese, and other ores
- Mineral separation: Enhances gold liberation and reduces the need for chemicals
- Environmentally friendly operations: Physical separation minimizes pollution

Why Use a Wet Mill for Gold Ore?
The wet pan grinder improves gold recovery rates by adjusting grinding pressure and duration based on ore hardness
and gold content. It enables more complete liberation of micronized and encapsulated gold compared to manual or leaching methods.
The physical process avoids chemical contamination, making it both cost-effective and eco-friendly.
