Section:: PERFORMING OPERATIONS; TRANSPORTING
Class:: SEPARATION OF SOLID MATERIALS USING LIQUIDS OR USING PNEUMATIC TABLES OR JIGS; MAGNETIC OR ELECTROSTATIC SEPARATION OF SOLID MATERIALS FROM SOLID MATERIALS OR FLUIDS; SEPARATION BY HIGH-VOLTAGE ELECTRIC FIELDS
Subclass:: SEPARATING SOLID MATERIALS USING LIQUIDS OR USING PNEUMATIC TABLES OR JIGS

Description

B03B covers mechanical separation of solid materials through liquid-based or pneumatic methods, including gravity separation in dense media, washers, classifiers, and jigging machines. Typical applications encompass mineral processing, coal beneficiation, recycling, and aggregates treatment where particle density, size, or shape differences are exploited for separation. This subclass excludes magnetic and electrostatic separation methods (covered by B03C), focusing instead on fluid dynamics and mechanical vibration techniques to achieve density-based or size-based sorting.
