What Materials Can a Shaking Table Adapt To? As a classic gravity separation equipment widely used in mineral processing and resource recycling, the shaking table is favored for its high separation accuracy, stable performance and easy operation. Many customers ask: what materials can a shaking table adapt to? In fact, it has a wide application range as long as the materials have a certain particle size and specific gravity difference. 1. Metal Ores The shaking table is mainly used for the separation of various metal minerals with mature technology: Precious metals: Gold ore, placer gold, silver ore Non-ferrous metals: Tungsten, tin, copper, lead, zinc, antimony ore Ferrous & rare metals: Hematite, limonite, ilmenite, manganese, tantalum-niobium ore 2. Recycled Resources With the development of circular economy, shaking tables are widely used in material recycling: Wires, cables and circuit boards: Separate copper, aluminum and other metals from plastics Smelting slag & furnace slag: Recover valuable metals from industrial waste Waste metal crushed materials: Purify metals by separating them from non-metallic impurities 3. Non-metallic Minerals & Coal It is also suitable for non-metallic ore and coal separation: Coal and slime separation Quartz sand, fluorite, barite, monazite, zircon, rutile and other non-metallic minerals 4. Basic Application Conditions Particle size: Normally 0.02–2 mm for best results Core principle: Effective separation relies on specific gravity difference Material state: Loose particles, low viscosity, no serious agglomeration Conclusion The shaking table is a versatile and practical gravity separator suitable for metal ores, recycled materials, non-metallic minerals and coal. It is widely used in mineral processing, metallurgy, environmental protection and resource recycling industries, with stable effect and high cost performance.
