Q52

Gizzlies are used for separating __________ solids.

A.
Coarse
Answer
B.
Fine
C.
Any size
D.
None of these

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
Gizzlies are heavy-duty screens used in mechanical operations for separating large-sized solids from the feed material.

They consist of parallel bars or rods spaced at specific intervals to allow only particles below a certain size to pass through.

Typically, gizzlies are used at the initial stages of processing to remove large lumps or coarse materials before finer screening or crushing.

Therefore, gizzlies are specifically designed to separate coarse solids.
