Laboratory Shaking Tables for Gravity Separation and Mineral Concentration
Ünal Engineering manufactures precision-engineered shaking tables for laboratory-scale gravity separation and mineral concentration. These machines are essential for separating fine particles based on density differences and are widely used in mining, metallurgical, and research laboratories. Our range includes Gemini Shaking Tables (Small and Large) and the Wilfley Shaking Table, all designed for high accuracy, repeatability, and efficiency.
Reliable Gravity Separation Equipment
Gravity separation remains one of the most effective methods for mineral concentration. Ünal Engineering’s laboratory shaking tables simulate industrial gravity concentrators in a compact, easy-to-use format. These tables are ideal for separating heavy minerals such as gold, tungsten, tin, and rare earths from lighter gangue materials. Each model is built for smooth operation, precise control, and long service life under demanding laboratory conditions.
Working Principle of a Shaking Table
The shaking table operates by combining differential motion and water flow over a sloping deck. As the table vibrates, materials are stratified according to density, with lighter particles moving toward the top and heavier particles settling at the bottom. The design enables effective separation of fine mineral particles down to microns, making it an indispensable tool for laboratory-scale testing and process optimization.
Gemini Shaking Tables
Ünal Engineering’s Gemini Shaking Tables are high-precision gravity concentrators designed for small to medium-scale laboratory work. These tables are known for their smooth motion, exceptional fine gold recovery, and ability to separate multiple mineral fractions accurately.
Gemini Shaking Table (Small)
The Small Gemini Shaking Table is perfect for laboratory and educational use. It provides efficient separation for small batches of ore or mineral samples. Its compact structure, easy operation, and adjustable deck tilt make it ideal for fine particle separation and teaching environments.
Gemini Shaking Table (Large)
The Large Gemini Shaking Table is designed for high-capacity testing and pilot-scale applications. It offers a larger deck surface for handling bigger sample volumes while maintaining excellent recovery efficiency. Adjustable stroke length, frequency, and water flow allow precise control of separation parameters.
Wilfley Shaking Table
The Wilfley Shaking Table is a classic gravity concentration system used globally for mineral separation and metallurgical testing. Ünal Engineering’s version of the Wilfley table provides robust performance, easy adjustment, and superior fine mineral recovery. It is especially suitable for research laboratories and pilot plants that require repeatable and quantitative results.
