As a classic gravity separation equipment widely used in mineral processing and resource recycling, the shaking table is favored for its high separation accuracy, stable performance and easy operation. Many customers ask: what materials can a shaking table adapt to? In fact, it has a wide application range as long as the materials have a certain particle size and specific gravity difference.
1. Metal Ores
The shaking table is mainly used for the separation of various metal minerals with mature technology:
- Precious metals: Gold ore, placer gold, silver ore
- Non-ferrous metals: Tungsten, tin, copper, lead, zinc, antimony ore
- Ferrous & rare metals: Hematite, limonite, ilmenite, manganese, tantalum-niobium ore
2. Recycled Resources
With the development of circular economy, shaking tables are widely used in material recycling:
- Wires, cables and circuit boards: Separate copper, aluminum and other metals from plastics
- Smelting slag & furnace slag: Recover valuable metals from industrial waste
- Waste metal crushed materials: Purify metals by separating them from non-metallic impurities
3. Non-metallic Minerals & Coal
It is also suitable for non-metallic ore and coal separation:
- Coal and slime separation
- Quartz sand, fluorite, barite, monazite, zircon, rutile and other non-metallic minerals
4. Basic Application Conditions
- Particle size: Normally 0.02–2 mm for best results
- Core principle: Effective separation relies on specific gravity difference
- Material state: Loose particles, low viscosity, no serious agglomeration
Conclusion
The shaking table is a versatile and practical gravity separator suitable for metal ores, recycled materials, non-metallic minerals and coal. It is widely used in mineral processing, metallurgy, environmental protection and resource recycling industries, with stable effect and high cost performance.
