Some small coal jigs for mechanical cleaning of coal at truck mines and other low-tonnage operations

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7311218
Results of a performance study of small coal jigs at a truck mine near Birmingham, Ala., are presented. Performance was found to compare favorably with that of standard 40- to 50-ton-per-hour single-cell jigs. In some sections, truck mines supply considerable coking coal, and use of small, inexpensive jig washers might increase pig-iron production by improving the quality of coke.
