Even fluidisation creates consistent separation conditions throughout the vessel.
mtTBS
The Teeter Bed Separator that delivers sharp, single-stage classification.
Effective fines separation - in a single pass.
Make the cut where value counts.
The MT Teeter Bed Separator (TBS) is designed for fine particle classification based on size and density, if applied correctly, can replace the need for multiple spiral circuits.
- Fluidisation Water introduced beneath the vessel creates a stable teeter bed.
- Hindered settling Particles settle according to their density and settling velocity.
- Density separation Heavy particles pass through the bed while lighter material reports to the overflow.
- Continuous discharge Separated products leave continuously, supporting stable downstream operation.
Technical Features
Uses an autogenous teeter bed and controlled upward water flow to separate particles according to their settling characteristics.
The result is a separator that not only classifies, but also enhances process efficiency and product consistency – making it a critical enabler of outcome certainty in modern mineral processing plants. The MT Teeter Bed Separator is used across multiple industries where fine particle separation is critical.
- Mineral sands
- Iron ore
- Coal
- Industrial minerals
- Silica sand
- Feed preparation
- Desliming
- Pre-concentration
- Controlled hindered settling Particles interact within the fluidized bed, improving cut accuracy and minimizing misplaced material.
- Dynamic bed pressure management Sensors measure teeter bed density in real time, adjusting automatically to feed fluctuations for stable performance.
- Sharper cut points Unlike basic classifiers that struggle with fine or near-density material, the TBS achieves a sharper separation curve, improving product quality and recovery.
- Engineered for durability Proven material selection ensures over 10 years of performance in high-wear zones.
- Unique Nozzle Design Allows for one way water flow preventing seepage of unwanted solids into the water chamber.
