Abstract: A pulsator for enriching, particularly, hard coal has mounted in a pulsating compartment a hoisting wheel and a bracket both mounted on a drive shaft, or a ratchet wheel mounted on a drive shaft which runs in bearings above the liquid level of a working trough. The pulsating compartment is of cylindrical shape and is connected to working trough along its longer side and separated from the working trough with a wall. The pulsating compartment consists of an outer wall to which is welded a bottom wall shaped as an arc and connected via a vertical wall to an oblique wall of the working trough. The bottom wall is provided at its lowest point with a grate encased with a pulp outlet stub pipe. The hoisting wheel consists of a side wall connected with an outer screen which is connected in turn to an outer ring along the periphery of the outer screen.
