General Information. Gravity separators, or air tables, separate particles with very close specific gravities. The particles are fed onto a large, slotted deck that is tilted slightly, as shown here. The deck vibrates and fans force air upward. Denser particles travel to the high side of the deck, while lighter particles roll off the low side.
