DESCRIPTION

The Gemini Shaking Table is an efficient pilot-scale machine designed for mineral separation and gravity concentration processes, specifically aimed at concentrating precious metals such as gold and platinum based on density differences. This table plays a critical role in the mineral separation and concentration of high-density valuable metals.

Features:

  • Table Dimensions: 1300 mm and a length of 850 mm,
  • Maximum Capacity: Operates at a capacity of up to 30 kg/hour, which may vary depending on the type and granularity of the processed material.
  • Adjustable Stroke: The table’s motion can be optimized for an effective mineral separation and gravity concentration process using an adjustable stroke mechanism with spring and stop systems.
  • Water Consumption: The system operates with a water consumption rate of 0.7 tons per hour, supporting efficient material handling and increased process efficiency.

The Gemini Shaking Table offers reliability and control for mineral separation and gravity concentration applications, making it an essential tool for laboratory and pilot-scale concentration processes.

    • Used in laboratories for small-scale mineral separation studies to evaluate processing methods.
  3. Fine Particle Separation:
    • Ideal for separating fine particles of heavy minerals from lighter gangue materials.
  4. Tailings Reprocessing:
    • Recovers valuable minerals from tailings, reducing environmental impact and waste.
  5. Industrial Applications:
    • Beneficiates rare earth elements, tungsten, or other high-value heavy minerals in specialized industries.

Working Principle

Shaking tables operate on the principle of moving material across an oscillating surface at a specific speed and amplitude. The table surface continuously shakes the material along with water, creating a gravity concentration process. Through this oscillating motion, heavier minerals migrate upward along the table surface, while lighter particles move downward. This movement enables mineral separation and concentration into distinct layers based on density, effectively stratifying the material according to specific gravity.
The Gemini shaking table typically produces three separate streams:
Concentrate: heavy mineral fraction (e.g. gold)
Middling: intermediate density material, may require reprocessing
Tailings: light fraction, generally discarded as waste gangue
