English

Subject field(s)
  • Industrial Tools and Equipment
  • Diamond Industry
CONT

A sorting table has a generally planar surface that is inclined along two planes. The surface vibrates at a preselected frequency causing every different shape of particle to travel along a different trajectory on the surface. For example, round particles tend to roll the shortest distance. The elongate particles tend to roll end over end and travel a longer distance. By placing different bins at the different locations along the end of the surface to where the different shapes of particles travel, the different shapes of particles which are separated can be captured.

CONT

Apart from sorting tables, the machinery required for a sorting plant includes electronic scales, jeweller's loupes (magnifying glasses), a colour chart, and microscopes.
