FIELD: wet separation of finely divided ores for efficient recovery of noble metals from stail tailings and obtaining of qualitative concentrates of ores of nonferrous and ferrous metals, and also from nonmetallic ores, for instance, for recovery of gold, silver and platinouds in systems of acting concentrating mills. SUBSTANCE: initial material is supplied onto movable pan where heavy particles are drown in water. Created in mass o heavy medium is interlinked branches of continuous medium to create process of separation into heavy and less heavy fractions in course of concentration in form of involving in circulation of separated sufficiently heavy particles of heavy medium and heavy particles of separated material. Nondrown light fraction is disposed to tailings through overflow lip and through drain tube located in center of pan. Concentrate is formed due to accumulation and cave-in of heaviest fraction. EFFECT: improved gravity separation of finely divided particles. 2 dwg
