PT Timah (Persero) Tbk is one of the major producer and second largest tin
exporter in the world's (Integrated Reports PT Timah (Persero) Tbk, 2015). The
process of offshore mining, using Cutter Suction Dredger and Production (KIP) as
a digger material. Mining on cutter suction dredges using a cutter shaped sharp
teeth as ground crusher media. Tin ore mining process is successful if the washing
process resulting are high recovery and value. The process of separation of the jig
influenced by several variables such as the length and number of strokes, the
thickness and size of the bed, the horizontal flow velocity, underwater needs and
feed rate. Water is the main media separation in the jig, so underwater has an
important role to the adequacy of water on jigs. Needs underwater in the process
influenced spigot hole diameter and the water discharge from underwater pump
into the jig tank. Underwater needs that do not fit the needs of a jig base will
affect other variables on jig and decreased performance of the jig.
Recovery obtained jig in November is not appropriate for the target company that
is 92,31%, and when the study was conducted happen overblast above primary jig
when kaksa extracting which indicate that the jig is water shortages and SnO2
obtained down 4,92% from October , for it do a technical study of underwater pan
american jig needed in KIP 12.
The research method is to study the literature study and then do field observation
in KIP 12 and continued with the primary and secondary data collection. Primary
and secondary data obtained is processed and analyzed, then be discussed and
conclusions drawn. Based on research conducted know the needs of underwater
pan american jig dimensions of 1.500 mm x 1.500 mm for primary jig is
1.700,352 m3/h and jig clean-up with dimensions of 950 mm x 950 mm is 255,78
m3/h, while the calculation results based on the actual data in the field of
underwater discharge flowing on the primary jig and jig clean-up at the KIP 12 is
1.378,326875 m3/hour for primary jig & 529,5710125 m3/hour for clean-up jig.
Diameter rubber spigot mounted on a jig in KIP 12 is already worn out so
underwater discharge that comes out through the spigot is increase, that is 66,0954
m3/h for primary jig & 26,6013 m3/h for clean-up jig. Underwater shortage in

primary jig because inability the pump to supply water for the jig, distribution
underwater pipe which bunged up and enlarged diameter rubber spigot, while the
excess underwater on clean-up jig caused by water falling from rubber spigot in
the primary jig. Afsluiter appropriate settings and riffle installation can be done to
reduce crossflow. Improved recovery on the jig can be done by addressing the
problems that exist in the underwater pump and regular inspections of the pipe
underwater distribution as well as replacement of rubber spigot 3 months to avoid
the addition of underwater discharge that comes out through the rubber because
the rubber spigot worn.
