Stones contaminate coal which results in loss of heating value, damages the whole process and increases the maintenance costs.

In the latest advance in the dry coal beneficiation of coal, world leader in ore sorting systems CommodasUltrasort has introduced cutting edge X-ray transmission (XRT) technology capable of delivering separation efficiencies equal to conventional wet processing methods while reducing operational costs and enhancing downstream processing.
Most coal beneficiation plants use water intensive separation processes such as dense medium separation (DMS) or jigging plants. The interest in dry coal separation technologies has gained momentum because water is becoming scarce resource in many coal producing regions, also resulting in increased costs; dry coal has a higher heating value than wet coal; transportation of wet coal is more expensive and because of the costs involved in the environmental rehabilitation of coal slimes.
