2026 6S Model Double-Deck Shaking Table for Tungsten Ore: Performance & Price Guide

SHARE TO:

If you are in the tungsten mining business, you know that gravity separation is still the king for processing coarse and medium-sized tungsten ores. And when it comes to the most reliable gravity concentrator, the shaking table has been the go-to equipment for over a century.

But here is the thing: not all shaking tables are created equal. The 2026 6S Model Double-Deck Shaking Table, especially from a trusted manufacturer like Jiangxi Hengchang Mining Machinery, is a game changer. It is designed specifically for tungsten ore, delivering high recovery rates while saving floor space and energy.

In this guide, I will break down everything you need to know about this machine: how it works, what makes it special, how to operate it, and—most importantly—what you should expect in terms of price and performance.

Let’s get into it.


What is the 6S Double-Deck Shaking Table?

The 6S double-deck shaking table is a gravity separation device. It uses the combined force of water flow and mechanical vibration to separate heavy minerals (like scheelite or wolframite) from lighter gangue.

The “double-deck” means there are two identical tables stacked on top of each other. This design doubles your production capacity without taking up more floor space. For tungsten processing, this is huge because you often need multiple stages of cleaning to get high-grade concentrate.

Key specs for 2026 model (Jiangxi Hengchang version):

Model: 6S-2026 Double-Deck
Deck size: 2600mm x 2100mm per deck
Motor power: 1.1 kW per deck (total 2.2 kW)
Feed size: 2–0.02 mm (ideal for tungsten)
Capacity: 1.5–3.5 tons/hour per double deck
Concentrate grade: Up to 60–70% WO3 depending on feed

How Does It Work? (Simple Explanation)

Think of the shaking table like a rectangular tray that is tilted slightly sideways. Water flows from the top feeding end down to the tailings end. The entire table shakes back and forth rapidly.

Here is what happens to the tungsten ore:

Slurry feed: Mixed ore and water enter the table at the feeding trough.
Stratification: Heavy tungsten particles sink to the deck surface. Light gangue stays on top.
Separation: The shaking action moves heavy particles diagonally toward the concentrate side. Light particles get washed straight down by water flow.
Discharge: Concentrate comes out at the “concentrate end,” middlings at middle ports, tailings at the far end.

The double-deck version just does this twice simultaneously, doubling output.

Why Choose This Table for Tungsten?

Tungsten is a high-density, brittle mineral. Gravity separation is the most cost-effective method, and the shaking table offers the highest selectivity among gravity equipment.

Advantages of the 6S double-deck for tungsten:

High recovery rate: Typically 90–95% for coarse tungsten (0.5–2 mm)
Low operating cost: No chemicals, low power consumption
Easy to troubleshoot: You can visually see the separation and adjust
Small footprint: Two tables in the space of one
Durable deck material: Glass fiber reinforced plastic with rubber lining, resistant to abrasion

Tungsten Ore Types Suitable for This Table

Washing table works best for tungsten ores that are:

Scheelite (CaWO4): Common in skarn deposits. Gravity separation is used before flotation.
Wolframite (Fe,Mn)WO4: Dense and easy to separate by gravity
Tungsten tailings: Recovering residual tungsten from old dumps
Mixed tungsten-tin ores: Also works well for cassiterite

Not ideal for ultra-fine tungsten (< 10 microns). Use a centrifugal concentrator or flotation for that.


Comparison with Other Gravity Equipment

Equipment Best for Capacity Grade Cost
6S Shaking Table Coarse to medium tungsten 1–3 tph High Moderate
Spiral Chute High volume, low grade 5–10 tph Medium Low
Jig Machine Coarse tungsten (1–10 mm) 10–20 tph Low Moderate
Centrifugal Concentrator Fine tungsten (< 0.1 mm) 2–5 tph High High

For typical tungsten plant flowsheet: Jig for coarse, then shaking table for intermediate, then centrifugal or flotation for fine.


Daily Operation & Maintenance Tips

This is where most beginners mess up. A shaking table is simple but demands attention.

Operation basics:

Feed density: Keep slurry at 25–35% solids by weight
Water flow: Adjust based on feed size. Coarser needs more water.
Stroke length: For tungsten, use 15–18 mm stroke at 280–320 rpm
Deck slope: Set transverse slope at 5–10 degrees

Maintenance checklist:

Check deck surface every shift for scratches or wear
Lubrication: Grease the eccentric mechanism weekly
Motor alignment: Misalignment causes vibration noise
Clean riffles: Tungsten fines can clog the riffle grooves
replace rubber lining every 6–12 months depending on usage

Pro tip: Always run a wash water strainer. Even small pebbles can damage the deck coating.


Price Guide for 2026 6S Double-Deck Shaking Table

Price depends on brand, material quality, and after-sales support. For a Jiangxi Hengchang 6S-2026 double-deck table, expect:

Standard model: USD 4,500 – 6,500
With upgraded deck material (rubber+ceramic): USD 6,000 – 8,000
Complete set with feeder and water pump: USD 8,000 – 12,000

Why does brand matter? Cheaper tables may use thinner steel frames, lower-grade bearings, or irregular deck surfaces. That leads to poor separation and frequent downtime. Jiangxi Hengchang is known for durable, precise tables with good after-sales parts availability.

Factors affecting price:

Deck material: Glass fiber vs. stainless steel surface
Motor brand: Chinese domestic vs. imported (Siemens/ABB)
Warranty: 1 year vs. 2 years
Freight: Heavy machine, so local manufacturing cuts shipping

Application Scenarios & Summary

Where does this table fit in a real tungsten processing plant?

Primary concentrator: After crushing and grinding to 0.5–2 mm, use it as the main separation device.
Cleaner stage: For upgrading jig or spiral concentrates from 20% to 60% WO3.
Small-scale mines: Perfect for 5–20 tpd plants where capital is limited but quality matters.
Pilot testing: Easy to set up for ore testing before full-scale plant design.

Final Thoughts

The 2026 6S double-deck shaking table from Jiangxi Hengchang Mining Machinery is a solid investment for any tungsten processing operation. It offers high recovery, low operating cost, and a compact design that fits most plant layouts.

When choosing your equipment, do not just look at the price tag. Look at the deck quality, motor reliability, and after-sales support. A slightly higher upfront cost saves you weeks of downtime and lost production.
