What snoby separation systems does

Snoby Separation Systems LLC is a privately held US manufacturer of material separation and dewatering equipment, headquartered in Dahlonega, Georgia. The company designs and builds wet jigs (Baum jigs and self-erecting transportable variants), air jigs, teeter bed separators, STICHWEH-branded bucket wheels, SMT STICHWEH drag scrapers, static screens, and complete processing plants. Its core technology centers on density-based separation and controlled up-flow settling velocity classification, with air-jig variants eliminating process water for water-constrained or environmentally regulated sites. The firm serves primary mining, aggregate producers (sand, gravel, crushed stone), the recycling industry, and coal processing, addressing pain points such as pumice and clay contamination, coal separation from sand and gravel, waste-ore recovery, metal recovery from waste, and aggregate dewatering. Named enterprise customers include Hawaiian Cement, CalPortland, and L.G. Everist.

The business operates a four-stream revenue model: one-time equipment sales (purchase contracts), recurring rental revenue via affiliate The Jig Rental Company, hardware spare-parts sales (including metric jig replacement parts and metric-to-SAE conversion parts), and professional services covering pilot testing, circuit design, plant layouts, startups, and consulting, plus plant leasing and operation through affiliates. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution runs through direct enterprise sales targeting mining, aggregate, and recycling companies, complemented by a content-driven marketing program (website, case studies, video library, and articles in Pit & Quarry and Rock Products trade publications). The product portfolio is partly in-house engineered and partly distributed under technology partnerships with Germany-based STICHWEH LLC (bucket wheels and drag scrapers) and DSC Dredge (dredging equipment), enabling the company to offer integrated plant solutions rather than standalone machines.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Wet Jigs (Baum Jigs) Water-based jig separation equipment that separates materials based on relative density differences, handling feed sizes from 150mm to 3mm. Available for purchase or lease and targeted at mining, aggregate, and recycling operators.
• Self-Erecting & Modular Wet Jigs Transportable and portable wet jig variants that can be set up in approximately 5 minutes, available for purchase from Snoby Separation Systems or lease through affiliate The Jig Rental Company. Targeted at operators needing flexible, mobile separation.
• Air Jigs Air-based separation equipment that uses air as the fluid medium instead of water, eliminating process water needs and moisture penalties while including a dust collector for eco-friendly operations. Accepts feed sizes from 60mm to 3mm.
• Teeter Bed Separators Separation equipment that makes separations based on differences in settling velocities of particles using a controlled, homogeneous up-flow of water for precise, consistent, and reliable outcomes.
• STICHWEH Bucket Wheels Washing and dewatering bucket wheels designed for fine-grained materials such as sand or grain mixtures, featuring plastic screens of varying gap widths, adjustable overflow weirs, and natural vacuum for dewatering.
• SMT STICHWEH Drag Scrapers All-steel construction extraction equipment suited for dry and underwater extraction, river dredging, and rescraping of flooded gravel pits, with pneumatic single-lever control for simplified operation.
• Static Screens Engineered static screens designed to optimize material separation processes across various industrial applications with durable construction and customizable configurations.
• Complete Processing Plants Custom-designed processing plants integrating state-of-the-art separation technology with comprehensive support services for optimal operational flow and maximum recovery, sold to mining, aggregate, and recycling operators.
