Gizzlies are used for separating __________ solids.

A. Coarse

B. Fine

C. Any size

D. None of these

Answer: Option A

Solution (By Examveda Team)

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.

    The correct answer is:

    ✅ A. Coarse
    🔍 Explanation:
    Grizzlies are heavy-duty screening devices consisting of a set of parallel bars spaced apart. They are used to:

    Separate coarse, large-sized solids from smaller ones

    Remove oversized lumps before material enters crushers or conveyors

    Operate without moving parts (in the case of static grizzlies), or may vibrate in some designs

    They are not suitable for fine or precise separations.

    ✅ Final Answer: A. Coarse
