Leveraging continuous R&D investment, high-level patented technologies, and extensive large-scale industrial validation, TGS® combines innovation with reliability, enabling enterprises to achieve high efficient, sustainable, low-cost dry separation of fine coal.
The TGS® is based on gradient fluidization technology, designed for dry separation of raw coal size below 80mm. Fluidization allows solid particles to behave like a fluid under airflow. As materials of different densities have different critical fluidization air velocities, the TGS® uses independently controlled air chambers at the bottom of the separation bed to create multiple gradient force fields with varying superficial air velocities. Under airflow buoyancy and vibration, particles of varying density and size enter different fluidization states across each gradient. Through multi-gradient stratification, particles are fully layered by density, and the layers are precisely cut to achieve high-precision separation.
The TGS® system consists of an intelligent gradient-fluidization dry separation system, a digitally controlled air supply system, separation performance X-ray detectors and an intelligent density control system:
The intelligent gradient-fluidization dry separation system is divided into different modules including the homogenisation feeding unit, drive unit, separation unit, discharge unit and dust extraction unit.The operation of all module systems can achieve stable and accurate separation performance.
The digital controlled air supply system is consisted of a low-noise fan, digital air valve and air duct, providing separation power for the intelligent gradient-fluidization dry separation system, and to achieve gradient fluidization separation and improve separation performance.
An automatic sampler and an X-ray separation performance detector are positioned in the middlings or reject streams, with feedback sent to the intelligent density control system for real‑time adjustment.
The intelligent density control system can receive data from the X-ray separation performance detector, bed state sensor, etc. The embedded controller carries an intelligent gradient fluidization density control model to adjust the separation density to achieve automatic operation . It excels in feed conditions with extremely low, extremely high, or highly variable reject rates.
