The Wilfley table (aka shaking table) separates minerals based on their specific gravity (SG) and particle size.
Water flows over the table, which acts as medium of separation. The ground feed material is introduced to the flowing water and passes over longitudinal riffles on the table. These impede the downward flow of the heavy minerals and the simultaneous horizontal reciprocating motion of the table moves the heavy particles off the end of the table as concentrate.
Several separate concentrates may be collected each with slightly differing SG’s and/or particle size. The lighter minerals travel over the riffles and report to the tails.
This technique is commonly used for the recovery of gravity gold and separation of mineral sands.
