The shaking table, also known as the 6S shaking table, is widely used for the gravity separation of various metallic and non-metallic ores. It mainly consists of three parts: the headstock, the table surface, and the frame.

I. Working Principle

The motor of the shaking table drives the crankshaft via a belt pulley, causing the rocker arm to move up and down. When the rocker arm moves downwards, the mineral material enters through the ore trough on the inclined table with reciprocating bars. The shaking table’s water tank provides transverse impact water. This simultaneous vibration and washing causes minerals with different specific gravities, particle sizes, and densities to flow out from the concentrate outlet and tailings outlet on the table surface in different directions, directly forming a concentrate.

II. The Type of Shaking Table

The table surface of the shaking table is mainly made of fiberglass, with grooved surfaces and a wear-resistant coating. Shaking table surfaces are mainly divided into three categories: coarse sand surfaces, fine sand surfaces, and slime surfaces, each with different groove patterns. Coarse sand bed is suitable for separating materials between 2-0.5mm, and is divided into 46 slots and 60 slots. Fine sand bed can separate materials between 0.5-0.074mm, and is available in 88 slots, 110 slots and 120 slots. Slime bed can separate the finest particles, between 0.074mm and 0.037mm. It has only one type of slot surface, but the most slots, with 138 slots.
