The Wilfley Table is commonly used for the concentration of heavy minerals from the laboratory up to the industrial scale. It has a traditional shaking (oscillating) table design with a riffled deck.[1] It is one of several brands of wet tables used for the separation and concentration of heavy ore minerals which include the Deister Table and Holman Table, all built to handle either coarse or fine feeds for mineral processing.[2]

The Wilfley Table became a design used world-wide due to the fact it significantly increased the recovery of silver, gold and other precious metals.[3] Such was the table's widespread use that it was included in Webster's Dictionary,[4] and has been in constant use by miners and metallurgists since its invention.[5]
