It consists of a perforated deck, with vertical ribs or riffles, which is reciprocated and the motion keeps the bed of raw coal sufficiently mobile for the blast of air from below to effect a process of stratification (or layering). The coal rises to the surface, with dirt at the base and a central layer of middlings. 3, record 1, English, - pneumatic%20table

Tables pneumatiques. [...] Dans l’industrie minérale, deux grandes familles ont été envisagées : - le type à cheminements opposés des lourds et des légers que l’on peut rapprocher des jigs quand on utilise de l’air pulsé, - le type à étalement dont la conception rappelle celle des tables à secousses travaillant en voie humide. 4, record 1, French, - table%20pneumatique

A machine in which the feed is stratified by means of pulsating currents of air and from which the stratified products are separately removed. [Definition standardized by ISO.] 3, record 3, English, - pneumatic%20jig
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
[Most] processes involve concentration of ores with water, but there are equivalent processes employing air as the separating medium. Pneumatic jigs and tables operate on the same principles of gravity separation as wet jigs and tables but find use in desert regions where water is scarce and on ores that are best treated dry, such as asbestos, which depends upon the light, fluffy nature of the mineral for efficient concentration. 4, record 3, English, - pneumatic%20jig
