What Is A Mining Vibrating Screen? Which Kinds Are There?

Mining vibrating screens can provide accurate and high-speed separation in the mining industry. This article will introduce you to mining vibrating screens and their classifications in detail.

What is a mining vibrating screen?

Mining vibrating screen is the process of improving mining material by separating different sized materials and removing the dust of mining material from unwanted undersized particles. It consists of a screen and a drive system that separates fine particles from coarse particles. Particle separation, the drive system generates the necessary vibration or rotation to move, loosen and transport the screened material on the screen.

Types of mining vibrating screens

Mining vibrating screens can be distinguished according to their working principles and application materials, they include ZSG mining vibrating screens, circular vibrating screens, trommel screens, dewatering screens, each type of screen is designated for specific purposes and applications, the following is the detailed 's introduction.

1. ZSG mining vibrating screen

ZSG mining vibrating screen is mainly used for the screening and classification of small and medium-sized particles or large block materials. Single-layer or multi-layer, material sorting specifications are many.

2. YA/YK circular vibrating screen

YA/YK circular vibrating screen is used to sort materials and separate final products at different stages of the crushing process, suitable for sand and gravel screening, coal mine screening and other ore screening with particle size >3mm.

3. Trommel screen

A trommel consists of a perforated cylindrical drum, usually raised at an angle at the feed end, to achieve physical size separation as the feed spirals down the rotating drum, through which undersized material smaller than the screen openings passes through Screens, while oversized material is discharged from the other end of the drum, for sorting of viscous and fibrous materials, such as in the coal or natural stone industry.

4. Dehydration screen

Dewatering screen is a special equipment for coal slime dewatering operation. It can be used for coal powder dewatering and coal slime separation in coal industry and coal preparation plants. To less than 0.7%, the output can reach 350 tons/hour.

These are a few common types of mining vibrating screens, in addition to which a variety of different screens are available that are well suited for these industries and provide the right screen type for each application.
