Air forced up through the porous deck from the equalizing chamber
forms thousands of small jetc which cause the material to stratify
into layers of different densities in much the same manner.
The air stratified the material, the light material floats and the
heavy material is in contact with the deck.
The oscillating motion of the deck walks the heavy material uphill
nearly parallel to the discharge edge and the air floats the light
material downhill.
As the material travels from the feed point on the deck to the
discharge edge, a gradation of material takes place ranging from
light material on the upper side.
By means of movable splitters, the discharge can be divided into any
number of density fractions.
Components of the gravity separator
1. DECK
- Heart of the gravity machine
- Is the adjustable frame fitted in the body with oscillating mechanism or
table on which fluidization of material and separation is effected.
