Milan What do you want to know?
In the UK there are 2 types of Tower Controllers Visual (ADV) and Instrument (ADI) the later works at an airfield that has instrument approaches.
Do you want to know how the Tower Controller integrates circuit traffic with other a/c arriving and joining the circuit or integrates the circuit a/c with one on an instrument approach?
OR
For an a/c to make an instrument approach without the use of Radar then the controller has to have an Approach Procedural Licence (APP), Cranfield and sometimes Cambridge. We work on a 8-10 minute approach interval for subsequent a/c to commence an approach to land. This time maybe reduced but to have the correct set of circumstance when the weather is poor is unlikely, and would preclude IFR departures and separation would be lost in the event of a go-around due to weather, so we don't reduce the time interval.
In good weather visual approaches by IFR a flights significantly reduce the landing interval.
If you want to know how this is achieved, then you need to visit a procedural unit!
