Can centrifugal separation be applied to jigging gravity separation?

/in /by

Jigging gravity separation is widely used for processing coarse and medium-sized ores. It can treat feed sizes up to 30–50 mm and recover particles as fine as 0.2–0.074 mm. However, the method has a critical limitation: it cannot effectively recover very fine-grained minerals.

This results in:

  • High metal content in the fine fraction of jig tailings
  • Reduced overall recovery rates
  • Large volumes of tailings due to the jig’s high processing capacity

Traditionally, fine fractions from jig tailings are recovered only by shaking tables or flotation, which limits efficiency.

Dasen Mining’s Centrifugal Gravity Separation Solution

Dasen Mining addresses these challenges using a cyclone-based centrifugal gravity separation process. Key features include:

  • Particle size range: Recovers materials as small as 2 mm down to 400 mesh
  • Processing capacity: 600–800 tons per day of fine-grained tailings
  • Enhanced enrichment: Provides efficient recovery of fine metals that jigs cannot capture

By combining one centrifugal separator with 6–8 shaking tables, operators can process 600–800 tpd of jig tailings with far greater efficiency.

Energy and Resource Savings

Compared with recovering jig tailings by shaking table alone, the centrifugal gravity separation process delivers significant savings:

  • 38% less electricity
  • 86% less water
  • 85% less workshop space
  • 66% less labor

This makes the process both cost-effective and environmentally friendly, aligning with modern sustainability standards in mining.

Integration with Other Beneficiation Methods

Centrifugal gravity separation works seamlessly with:

  • Shaking tables – for additional fine particle recovery
  • Flotation processes – for complex ores and ultra-fine materials

Its adaptability makes it the first choice for tailings treatment, waste recovery, and environmentally compliant beneficiation projects.
