How does Mineral Jig work

mineral jig

mineral jig is a compact and efficient gravity device which is widely used for beneficiaiton of a wide range of minerals. it can separate heavy liberated minerals from light minerals, works on the difference in density.

There are different type of jig separator for different application. They are LTA series mineral jig for small feeding size (below 8mm) , AM30 mineral jig which can process below 30mm minerals and FRT16-2 mineral jig which can process below 50mm size.

The structure of mineral jig

The Mineral Jig consists of a cell containing water with a screen on the top. Our designed to hold a certain volume of steel or stainless steel shot, placed on the screen. The hutch is an inverted cone that moves by means of an eccentric cam and a walking beam.

On the up, or expansion stroke, the water column is forced through the shot bed causing the shot bed to dilate and differential particle sorting to take place, based on Stokes Law of Hindered Settling. This allows the heavier particles on or near the shot bed to settle through the shot while the lighter particles are carried onto the tails.

Hutch water flow also aids in the suspension of the pulp as it passes over the screen providing for additional separation in the ragging. A large volume of water is added in the hutch to provide an upward flow through the screen during the up stroke while maintaining the flow of concentrate out the bottom. This provides a zone in the hutch, below the screen, where the flow is neither up nor down.

On the down stroke these heavier Gold particles are pulled down through the bed and settling through this zone are accelerated by the velocity of the flow. A rubber diaphragm between the cone and the jigging screen provides a positive displacement of the hutch water to insure jig bed pulsations. Gold is then discharged through the hutch concentrate valve at the bottom of the cell.
