Abstract: In this paper, the production data were investigated (Talnahskaya mineral – processing plant). It was carried out their analysis and revealed the main factors, which influence on the final product. Relationship was evaluated between the thickening density and quality of the output product. Factors influencing on the stable thickener work were chosen. Statistical thickener model has been created.

Keywords: Mineral – processing plant, pulp thickening, reagent, output concentrate, pulp density, simulation of thickening process.
