Screening is defined as “The mechanical
process which accomplishes a division of
particles on the basis of size and their
acceptance or rejection by a screening
surface”.

SCREEN
• trommel screen
TYPES
• grizzly screen

• vibrating screen

8
× Capacity: 5 - 1000 tons/hour (solid)
15 - 3000 m3/hour (slurry)

× Spin rate: 35 - 45% critical rate

× Advantage: cheaper price than Vibrating
Screen

× Disadvantage: high maintenance costs, not

uniform product, space
needed
11
× Particle size: 20 mm - 300 mm
× Bars angle: 20° - 50°
× Gap : 50 mm - 300 mm
× Capacity: 1000 tons/hour

13
× Advantage: produce coarse material,
simple equipment

× Disadvantage: space needed, easily

clogged

14
× Material range: from 25 cm to 5 mm

× Frequency: 1000 - 7000 Hz

× Screen scale : 100 - 200 mesh

× Sizing or classifying
× Sclaping
× Grading
× Media recovery
× Dewatering

 conclusions
× Screening is material separation by its size
used in industrial scale

× Equipment application is depend on the

desired product
