Gekko's Wolff Concentrator Tackles Gold Recovery Challenges

Gekko Systems' Wolff Batch Centrifugal Concentrator is designed to improve gold recovery by operating with non-potable water, including recycled and contaminated sources. The system enables mines with limited access to fresh water to maintain gravity recovery while reducing maintenance needs, supporting broader goals of water stewardship and operational efficiency.

A case study from Kaiser Reef’s processing plant in Maldon, Victoria, highlights the Wolff concentrator’s impact. The plant, which previously lacked a gravity circuit, experienced gold losses and frequent manual cleaning to manage coarse gold build-up. The Wolff unit addressed these issues by recovering gold more effectively using dirty water, reducing manual intervention and improving recovery consistency.

The company says the Wolff concentrator has enhanced performance at the plant by supporting reliable, sustainable gold recovery without requiring large volumes of clean water.
