Design and application development of KOMAG-type pulsating concentrators

Abstract

Coal and mineral raw material processing includes a key stage: improving feed quality and producing products that meet market requirements. One of the most commonly used methods is gravity separation in a pulsating water medium, carried out in jigs and pulsating classifiers. For over 70 years, the KOMAG Institute of Mining Technology has been conducting research on the design and modernization of these devices, developing various types of beneficiation units for different particle-size classes of raw materials, as well as modern control systems. The article discusses the development of KOMAG pulsating beneficiation units, their applications in the coal and aggregate industries, and their use in recovering raw materials from mining waste.
