WSHT Jig Concentrator (JT/LTA Series) - Gravity Separation

WSHT Jig Concentrator (JT/LTA Series)

Capacity: 1-25 TPH | Precision Engineered for Mining & Mineral Processing

Product Overview

The WSHT JT/LTA Series Jig Concentrator is a high-efficiency gravity separation device for processing coarse-grained heavy mineral ores. Utilizing the principle of differential settling in a pulsed water column, the jig achieves separation of materials based on specific gravity differences. It is extensively used in gold ore processing, tin mining, iron ore beneficiation, and coal washing where efficient recovery of liberated heavy minerals from coarse feed is required.

Key Features & Benefits

• High Processing Capacity
  Handles feed rates from 1-25 TPH with coarse feed sizes up to 30mm for efficient primary recovery.
• Excellent Coarse Recovery
  Superior recovery of coarse heavy minerals (0.5-30mm) compared to other gravity separation devices.
• Low Operating Cost
  No moving parts in the slurry, no chemical reagents required, minimal power and water consumption.
• Automatic Discharge
  Automatic heavy concentrate discharge mechanism ensures continuous operation with consistent product quality.
• Wide Application Range
  Effective for gold, diamonds, iron ore, tin, tungsten, barite, and coal processing applications.

Technical Specifications

Working Principle

The jig concentrator separates minerals by harnessing the principle of differential settling velocity in a vertically oscillating water column. Feed material is introduced onto a perforated screen (ragging bed) inside the jig chamber. A diaphragm or plunger mechanism creates pulsating water motion through the screen. During the upward stroke, water rises through the bed, fluidizing and stratifying particles by density — heavy particles settle to the bottom while lighter particles remain at the top. During the downward stroke, suction consolidates the bed. Heavy mineral concentrate is discharged through the bottom spigot, while tailings overflow at the top.

Applications

• Gold Ore Processing
  Primary gravity recovery of coarse free gold from mill discharge ahead of grinding circuits.
• Tin & Tungsten Mining
  Coarse cassiterite and wolframite recovery from alluvial and hard rock deposits.
• Diamond Recovery
  Primary concentration of diamonds from kimberlite and alluvial gravel feed materials.
• Iron Ore Beneficiation
  Upgrading of hematite, limonite, and siderite ores by removing low-density gangue minerals.
