Vibrating Screen
What is a Vibrating Screen?
Vibrating screen systems are essential components of crushing and screening plants, used to separate materials extracted from these systems. They vary in capacity and design, ranging from high-capacity screens to grate and driven screens. The main purpose of vibrating screens is to classify and separate materials based on size, making them a crucial part of the crushing and sieving process in mining and construction operations.
All mines utilize crushing and screening systems to reduce the size of ore. After the ore is crushed by machines, vibrating screens are used to sort the material by size. The screening process serves two key purposes:
- Removal of unwanted material.
- Classification of desired material according to size.
Screens used for this purpose are known as vibrating screens.
Working Principle of Vibrating Screens
Vibrating screens operate at high speeds using vibration systems to sort materials. The screen is connected to the main body via coil springs, which allow it to vibrate. The material placed on the screen is accelerated and spread evenly as it enters the system. Smaller particles pass through the screen to the bottom, while larger materials are separated as they move across the screen. Depending on the application, screens can be layered up to four times.
Key Features:
- Horizontal and Inclined Models:
- Horizontal screens move linearly with a 0-degree slope.
- Inclined screens move circularly with an inclination of about 20 degrees.
- Easy Installation and Maintenance: Thanks to their simple design, vibrating screens are easy to install and maintain. They are equipped with stairs around the screen, allowing for easy access during part replacements or maintenance.
- Fixed and Mobile Options: Vibrating screens are available in fixed models for crushing and screening plants, as well as mobile versions for use in tight and uneven spaces.
These screens are designed to provide high performance, ensuring the proper separation of materials in various mining and construction applications.
