Dry Processing of Coal – Progress Report: Tests Conducted on the IMS / Slater Coal Marketing Allair Dry Jig
201613 pages
Test work on a dry jig installed at a Balmoral site, covering coal sized below 50 mm and duff below 12 mm, for producers considering waterless beneficiation.
A 30 tonne per hour pilot Allair dry jig upgraded run of mine coal to thermal coal specification, but could not effectively beneficiate finer duff. Cut point densities and EPM values matched other dry processing equipment, though the jig appeared to give better control of the parameters governing separation. Four tests ran on run of mine coal and two on duff.

How it opens
IMS in cooperation with Slater Coal Marketing installed a 30 tonne per hour Allair dry jig at Slater Coal’s site near Balmoral for the purpose of evaluating the technology and to assess the potential of these jigs to upgrade raw coal to thermal coal specification.
