Abstract
A wet settling machine having a jig screen has the separating liquid mechanically pulsed and the energy of the pulsations is stored in and released from sealed air chambers which open downwardly into the settling liquid.
Claims13
In a method of operating a wet settling machine for separating mineral mixtures, in particular fine granulations, in which the mixture moves from an entry to a discharge over at least one separating chamber on a perforate jig structure and is subjected to the separating action of a pulsating separating liquid, the improvement therein comprising the steps of:
- mechanically energizing the separating liquid into pulsation;
- and
- pneumatically storing and releasing the energy of the pulsating separating liquid.
In a wet settling machine of the type in which a mineral mixture to be separated is moved from an entry to a discharge on a perforate jig structure over a separating chamber and is subjected to the separating action of a pulsating separating liquid, the improvement therein comprising:
- mechanical means, including an excitation element in the settling chamber, operable to mechanically energize the settling liquid into pulsation;
- and pneumatic energy storage means in the separating chamber for storing and releasing the energy of the pulsating liquid.
