• Gold & Precious Metal Recovery​

  Shaking tables are indispensable in gold recovery, especially for free-milling gold ores and placer gold deposits.

  ● In placer mining, alluvial sediments (sand, gravel, and gold particles) are fed onto the table. Gold, with its high density (19.3 g/cm³), settles quickly on the deck, accumulating in the concentrate zone near the table’s lower corner. Lighter gangue materials (quartz, clay) are washed away by the water flow.

  ● For hard rock gold ores, after grinding and liberation, the table separates fine gold particles (down to 0.01 mm) from sulfide minerals or silicates, enhancing gold purity before final processing (e.g., cyanidation or smelting).

  ● Their ability to recover even micro-fine gold makes them valuable in low-grade ore processing.

• Other Precious Metals Processing

  ● Tin Ore Concentration​. Crushed tin ore is processed to separate dense cassiterite from lighter gangue. The table’s vibration and water flow stratify the particles. Shaking tables are particularly useful for processing tin tailings from other separators, recovering residual cassiterite that would otherwise be lost for maximizing ore utilization.​

  ● Tungsten Ore Separation​. After crushing and grinding, tungsten ores are fed onto the table, where the dense tungsten particles are concentrated. Wolframite, with its higher density, is easily separated from quartz or mica, while scheelite, though less dense than wolframite, is still effectively recovered due to the table’s high selectivity.

  ● Rare Earth Minerals​. Shaking tables play a role in processing heavy rare earth minerals (e.g., xenotime, density 4.4–5.1 g/cm³; monazite, density 4.6–5.4 g/cm³) from mineral sands. This is crucial for producing high-purity rare earth concentrates used in electronics, magnets, and renewable energy technologies.
