Jigger

Jigger

Capacity: 5-50 TPH
Feeding Size: 0.5-50 mm 
Discharging Size: 80–95%(>0.1mm),70–85%(0.5–2mm)
Handling Materials: Tungsten ore, tin ore, iron ore, manganese ore, chromium ore, gold ore, etc.

Jigger sorts minerals (tungsten, coal) by density using pulsating water flow. It handles 0.5–50mm feed at 5–50t/h, achieving 5–50x enrichment without chemicals. Ideal for coarse particle separation but requires low-clay feeds.

Advantages

Jig machine with high processing capacity

01.

High Capacity

Handles coarse feeds (5–50mm) at 5–50t/h, 3–5x faster than shaking tables for similar density separations.

Jig machine for reagent-free mineral separation

02.

No Reagents

Density-based sorting eliminates chemical use, ideal for eco-sensitive areas or water-restricted sites.

Jig machine with simple operation

03.

Simple Operation

Adjustable stroke (20–50mm) and water pulse frequency (40–100/min) adapt to varying ore types.

Jig machine with low energy consumption

04.

Low Energy

Consumes only 2–10kW per unit, making it cost-effective for primary heavy mineral concentration.

How Does A Jigger Work

1. Pulsating Bed Formation: Ore (0.5–50mm) is fed onto a screen submerged in water, where alternating upward/downward water flow (40–100 pulses/min) fluidizes the bed.

2. Density Stratification: Heavy minerals (tungsten) sink through the teetered bed to the screen bottom, while lights (e.g., quartz) rise to the top.

3. Continuous Separation: Strokes (20–50 mm) push heavies forward as concentrate; gangue overflows the weir. Adjustable discharge gates control product grades.

4. Middlings Recycling: Intermediate-density particles are internally cycled or sent to secondary jigs for further upgrading.
