Jigs are gravity concentration devices used to separate heavy minerals from lighter materials through pulsating water flow. They are widely applied in coal, iron ore, and mineral beneficiation plants.
Engineering Overview
Metzix Mineral and Coal Washing Jigs are high-throughput gravity concentration machines that exploit differences in specific gravity using controlled water pulsations. Through synchronized water stroke cycles, the mineral bed repeatedly dilates and consolidates, stratifying heavier particles to the bottom where they are discharged via gate mechanisms or hutch compartments. Built with robust air-pulsed or diaphragm mechanisms and automated electronic bed sensors, Metzix jigs handle wide size ranges with high recovery efficiencies.
Key Features & Engineering Advantages
