What is gravity sorting?

Gravity sorting is a method of sorting a mixture of different materials based on their weight under the force of gravity. In this process, the mixture is poured onto a sloping table or platform, and as the table vibrates or oscillates, the heavier materials settle to the bottom and are separated from the lighter materials that stay on top.

Gravity sorting is used in various industries, such as mining, recycling, and agriculture, where different materials need to be separated based on their weight and density. It is a cost-effective method that requires little energy, and it can process large volumes of materials quickly and efficiently.

Gravity sorting is also known as gravity separation or gravity concentration, and it has been used for centuries, dating back to ancient times when gold and other precious metals were separated from gravel and sand using a similar method. Today, modern equipment and technology have made gravity sorting more precise and automated.
