Wet Pan Mills Shipped to Sudan for Gold Ore Grinding Project

Recently, Henan Baichy Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd successfully completed the production and shipment of 20 sets BC1200 wet pan mills for a gold ore processing project in Sudan. These machines will be used in small and medium-sized gold mining plants for efficient ore grinding and mineral processing operations. According to the customer’s special requirement, the grinding rollers and grinding rings were upgraded from common cast iron material to high manganese steel. This customized design provides significantly higher wear resistance, longer service life, and reduced maintenance frequency, making the equipment more suitable for hard gold ore grinding conditions in African mining areas.

Wet Pan Mill BC1200 Specifications

The wet pan mill, also known as a gold grinding machine or gold pan mill, is widely used for grinding gold ore, silver, lead, zinc, and other minerals. Its function is similar to that of a ball mill—both reduce ore or stone into fine powder.

For buyers and engineers looking for quantifiable data, the BC1200 wet pan mill offers the following verified specifications:

These specifications make the BC1200 an ideal choice for processing soft to medium-hard gold ores, including clay-rich materials common in Sudan.

Key Features

1. High Wear Resistance

The grinding wheels and rings are cast in one piece using special wear-resistant manganese steel, significantly outlasting standard cast iron parts.

2. Low Noise & High Efficiency

Compared to dry ball mills, wet pan mills operate with lower noise and higher production efficiency for small-scale processing.

3. Low Investment, Fast ROI

The machine has a small footprint and low initial cost, making it the preferred equipment for small and medium-sized mining enterprises.

4. Ball Mill Replacement (Within Limits)

For small-scale operations (under 100 TPD) processing soft or oxidized gold ores, the wet pan mill can replace a ball mill. However, for hard rock ores (Mohs hardness >6, e.g., quartz gold ore), ball mills remain more durable. The manganese steel rollers extend life in such cases but still wear faster than a ball mill on very hard material.

Sudan Gold Ore Grinding Project Details

The Sudan customer selected BC1200 wet pan mills mainly because of their low operating cost, easy maintenance, and suitability for small-scale gold mining operations. The machines were inspected and tested before shipment to ensure stable performance and reliable quality. Baichy Machinery completed production, quality inspection, and container loading according to the agreed delivery schedule. The equipment was packed and shipped to Sudan for installation and commissioning at the customer’s mining site.

With extensive experience in exporting mining machinery to Africa, Baichy Machinery has supplied crushing and grinding equipment to customers in Sudan, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Zambia, Kenya, and other countries.

Why Manganese Steel?

Ordinary wet pan mills use cast iron rollers, which wear quickly when processing abrasive ores. By switching to manganese steel, the BC1200 units shipped to Sudan achieve:

   ● 30–50% longer service life (estimated based on similar applications)

   ● Lower downtime for roller replacement

   ● Consistent grinding fineness over extended use

This customization is especially valuable for gold miners in Sudan, where ore hardness varies and maintenance access can be limited.

People Also Frequently Asked For - FAQ

1. What is a wet pan mill used for?

A wet pan mill is mainly used for grinding gold ore and other mineral materials into fine powder for mineral processing and gold recovery operations.

2. Why use manganese steel grinding rollers?

High manganese steel provides better wear resistance and longer service life compared with common cast iron materials, especially for hard and abrasive ores.

3. Is wet pan mill better than ball mill for small gold mining?

For small and medium-sized mining plants, wet pan mills usually offer lower investment cost, easier installation, and lower power consumption than ball mills.

4. What is the output size of BC1200 wet pan mill?

The BC1200 wet pan mill can typically produce 80-200 mesh powder depending on ore properties and operating conditions.
