Whether you're processing gold ore in Africa, copper tailings in South America, or running a small mineral recovery plant in Southeast Asia, the Wet Pan Mill remains a powerful and affordable grinding solution for overseas mining operations.

At Gomine, we’ve helped hundreds of international clients install and run wet pan mills with success. Here’s your complete guide to understanding how it works and why it might be the right solution for your project.
 

How Does a Wet Pan Mill Work?

1. Ore Loading – Crushed ore, water, and sometimes chemicals are added to the circular grinding pan.

2. Grinding Process – Heavy rollers rotate to crush and grind the ore into fine slurry.

3. Mixing & Amalgamation – Water ensures smooth grinding; in gold mining, mercury may be used for gold extraction.

4. Slurry Separation – Processed slurry flows out for further separation (e.g. shaking table or centrifugal concentrator).
