When it comes to gravity separation in mineral processing, standard shaking tables and large/small channel steel types are designed for entirely different scenarios. Selecting the right equipment optimizes separation efficiency and production costs, ensuring a perfect match for your mineral processing needs!
Standard shaking tables are traditional basic models with a simple frame structure and single deck specification, offering medium throughput. They require fixed foundation installation, suitable for regular mineral processing with small output and fixed sites. With a moderate cost-performance ratio, they lack scalability and mobility, and may experience structural shaking under long-term high-load operation, only meeting basic separation requirements.
Large channel steel shaking tables feature a 28# channel steel base and a deck over 4.5 meters long, with an hourly throughput of several to more than ten tons, making them the first choice for large mineral processing plants. No pre-embedding is needed—installation is completed with bolt fixing, enabling easy disassembly and relocation. Ideal for temporary processing sites and capacity expansion, they boast low unit processing cost and strong stability under high-load operation, perfect for large-scale separation of coarse-grained, high-specific-gravity minerals. With a slightly higher initial equipment cost, they are more cost-effective in the long run.
Small channel steel shaking tables adopt a 10# channel steel base and a 1.1-2 meter deck, with an hourly throughput of only several hundred kilograms, focusing on fine separation. They require embedded parts for fixed installation and are difficult to disassemble, suitable for laboratory purification, small mineral processing plants and narrow operation sites, delivering higher separation precision for fine-grained minerals. With a low unit price but additional foundation pre-embedding costs, they are a cost-effective option for small-output, high-precision mineral processing.
The core differences among the three lie in structural stability, throughput and installation flexibility, while separation precision is mostly determined by deck design, inclination angle and other factors. Choosing the right shaking table based on production capacity, site conditions and long-term planning ensures more efficient and economical mineral processing!
