Gold mining in Zimbabwe is vital. Many people work in small mines. These miners need good tools to catch gold. Shaking tables are the best choice. They use gravity to separate heavy gold from light sand. This guide explains how they work. You will learn why they help you earn more money. We are a real factory. We build these machines for you. We help you win.
A shaking table is a flat deck. It moves back and forth. Water flows over the top. Heavy gold stays on the table. Light rocks wash away. This is gravity separation. It is very old but works great. It does not use chemicals. No mercury is needed. This keeps the ground clean. Miners in Zimbabwe love this. It is safe and cheap to run.
The motor turns a cam. This makes the deck shake. The shake is not even. It moves fast one way. It moves slow the other way. This pushes gold to one side. We call this the concentrate end. The deck has small wood strips. We call these riffles. Riffles catch the gold particles. Water carries the sand over the riffles. This is how you get clean gold.
You must know the machine numbers. This helps you choose. We use high quality parts. Our tables last a long time. Here are the main specs for our standard gold table. These numbers come from mineral processing books like Taggart’s Handbook. We follow these rules.
| Parameter | Value | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| Deck Size (mm) | 4500 x 1850 | Large area catches more gold. |
| Feeding Size (mm) | 0.074 – 2 | Smaller rocks mean better separation. |
| Stroke Length (mm) | 12 – 28 | Adjustable to match rock weight. |
| Frequency (times/min) | 240 – 350 | High speed helps fine gold move. |
| Motor Power (kW) | 1.1 | Low power saves your fuel money. |
Miners use special words. We explain them here. Stroke length is how far the table moves. Frequency is how fast it shakes. Cross slope is the tilt. If you tilt too much, you lose gold. If you tilt too little, the sand stays. We help you find the sweet spot. SBM machines are easy to adjust. This makes your work fast.
Zimbabwe has many river gold sites. The gold is often very fine. Sluice boxes miss fine gold. Shaking tables catch it. They have a high recovery rate. This means more gold in your pocket. Because the table uses only water, it is cheap. You do not buy expensive acids. Why? Because gravity is free. It works every time.
Many miners throw away gold. They do not see it. Their tools are not good enough. If your sand still has gold, you lose money. Our shaking table solves this. It catches gold down to 0.074mm. Why? Because the riffles create tiny whirlpools. These pools hold the gold. The sand cannot stay. You get 95% of the gold back. This is a huge gain for you.
Small mines are far from cities. You cannot wait for a mechanic. Our tables are very simple. The frame is strong steel. The deck is tough fiberglass. It does not rust. You only need to grease the head motion. Why? Because grease stops friction. If a belt breaks, you can swap it in ten minutes. We provide spare parts with every order. This keeps you mining.
You must set the table on a flat base. Concrete is best. It must not wobble. If it wobbles, the gold gets lost. First, level the frame. Second, connect the motor. Third, add the water pipes. You need a steady water flow. Too much water washes gold away. Too little water clogs the riffles. We send a manual with pictures. It is very easy to follow.
A miner in Kadoma bought three SBM tables. He was using old sluices before. He was only getting 60% of his gold. We designed a new flow. We used a small crusher first. Then a ball mill. Finally, our 6-S shaking tables. Now he gets 92% recovery. He is very happy. He said the tables are “gold magnets”. He likes that they run all day without heat. His maintenance costs dropped by 40%.
Take care of your machine. It will take care of you. Check the oil in the gear box every month. Clean the deck after every shift. Do not let mud dry on the riffles. If the deck gets dirty, gold cannot hide. Why? Because the surface must be smooth for water flow. Our fiberglass decks last over 10 years. This is a great investment for your family.
If you process 1 ton per hour, you need one big table. If you have more, you need a bank of tables. We look at your rock type. Hard rock gold needs different settings than river gold. We provide custom solutions. We are the manufacturer. We do not just sell. We build what you need. Tell us your capacity. We give you the plan.
How much water do I need? You need about 0.5 to 2 tons of water for 1 ton of ore. This water can be recycled. Why? To save money and the environment. Can it work for chrome? Yes, it works for any heavy mineral. It works for tin and copper too. How long is the shipping? We ship fast to Zimbabwe. Usually, it takes 30 to 45 days to arrive at your site.
SBM is a famous name in mining. We use the best bearings. We use the thickest steel. Our engineers test every table before it leaves. We want you to succeed. When you make money, we are happy. We offer 24/7 support. If you have a problem, call us. We help you fix it fast. We know mining is hard work. We make it easier.
Shaking tables are the heart of a small mine. They are clean. They are efficient. They are cheap to run. You get more gold. You use less labor. You protect the land. Zimbabwe miners are moving to this technology. Do not get left behind. Upgrade your mine today. See the difference in your gold bar weight. It is the best choice for your future.
Question: Can I use dirty water? Answer: It is better to use clear water. Muddy water makes the gold float away. Why? Because mud is thick and lifts the gold. Question: Do I need a big motor? Answer: No, a small 1.1kW motor is enough. It is very energy efficient. Question: Does the table need a roof? Answer: Yes, keep it out of the sun. The sun can warp the deck over many years. A simple shade is fine.
