Equipment family

Jigs for project-led equipment selection

Explore family information before discussing a project-specific configuration.

Overview

Jigs in process context

Jigs are gravity-separation equipment considered after material preparation, where differences in particle density can support a recovery step. The configuration is assessed with the ore, prepared feed, water conditions and wider recovery objective.

Applications

Where this family fits

Application

Gravity separation stage

Consider a jig where the project calls for a gravity-recovery step after feed preparation.

Application

Prepared mineral feed

Particle condition and mineral behaviour must be reviewed before selection.

Application

Water-supported process planning

Water availability and slurry handling belong in the project discussion.

How it works

Working principle and process position

A jig uses pulsation and water through a screen to stratify a prepared mineral bed. In a gravity-recovery route, the discussion is not about one fixed output size; it is about whether the prepared feed, density differences and water conditions support the intended separation step.

  1. Prepare and review the mineral feed.
  2. Confirm the jig's position within the gravity-recovery route.
  3. Review water, capacity, target product and site power before selection.

Process position

Part of the wider processing route

A jig is considered after the feed has been prepared and before the wider concentrate-handling route is finalised. It should be coordinated with upstream crushing or grinding and any downstream recovery equipment.
