Beyond traditional separation equipment, the jig machine stands out as a versatile, high-efficiency gravity separator, becoming an irreplaceable core in gold mining, mineral processing, and slag recycling. Ruijie’s jig machine integrates innovation with practicality, unlocking new possibilities for resource recovery and environmental protection.
1. Indispensable Role in Gold Mining & Mineral Processing
As a core gravity separation equipment, the jig machine is essential in gold mining and mineral processing industries. It is particularly critical in Ruiji’s mobile gold mining equipment, acting as a key link to efficiently separate gold particles from ores and achieve breakthroughs in low-grade gold recovery and mobile mining scenarios. During processing, the greater the density difference between the minerals to be separated in the ore, the wider the applicable particle size range. For gold-bearing placer ores, when the feed particle size is less than 15mm, classification before beneficiation can be omitted. This not only effectively improves jig machine separation indicators but also increases equipment throughput, optimizing the efficiency of gravity separation processes.
2. Jig Machine Working Principle in Mobile Gold Mining Equipment
Adopting the gravity separation principle for metal separation, the jig concentrator
operates in Ruijie’s mobile gold mining equipment through a streamlined process:
– Crushed gold ore is loaded into the hopper, then sorted and classified by a vibrating screen to ensure uniform particle size.
– The classified ore is transported to the jig machine via a screw conveyor for further separation.
– The Ruijie jig machine uses vertically variable-speed flowing water to separate minerals by specific gravity: high-specific-gravity coarse gold ore settles above the screen, fine gold ore passes through the screen and is discharged through the concentrate outlet, while low-specific-gravity gold-free waste ore is discharged through the tailings outlet.
– For further classification of gold particles of different sizes, a shaking table (another gravity separation equipment) is used to sort by density, ensuring higher purity of the final gold product .
3. Multi-Scenario Applications Beyond Gold Mining
– Slag Separation Line: The gravity separation jig machine is widely used in slag separation line/incineration bottom ash(IBA) wet sorting line to recover heavy metals such as copper, silver, and gold from industrial slag, realizing resource reuse and reducing waste.
– Standalone Use: It can also be used independently for simple ore separation and beneficiation, suitable for small-scale mining sites, laboratory testing, and small-batch ore processing, with strong flexibility.

5. Simple Maintenance Tips for Jig Machine
To extend the service life of the jig concentrator and maintain high separation efficiency, follow these simple maintenance tips :
- Clean the screen regularly to avoid clogging by ore residues;
- Check the water flow system weekly for leaks and ensure stable water pressure; lubricate key components monthly to reduce wear;
- Inspect the conveyor and screen for loose parts and tighten them in time;
- Shut down and clean the whole machine after daily use to prevent ore accumulation.
These easy steps help reduce maintenance costs and keep the jig machine running stably.
With simple operation, environmental protection advantages and easy maintenance, Ruijie’s jig machine is a reliable partner for resource utilization and sustainable development in mining and recycling industries.
