This article explores the different applications of vibrating, sifter, and shaker screens. While these screens have similar purposes, each type offers distinct advantages tailored to specific industries and applications.

Vibrating Separator Screens

Vibrating Separator Screens feature a rectangular frame or a tubular ring, with dimensions ranging from 18" to 72" in diameter. These frames are often highly durable and can be reused multiple times. With our OEM replacement service, we can remove the old material from your existing frame and re-screen it with new mesh, offering a cost-effective solution.

The construction process involves stretching and measuring a wire mesh blank to the correct tension. Adhesive is applied to the screen frame and elevated to meet the mesh. Finally, excess material is trimmed.

This screen type vibrates and shakes, effectively separating dry, free-flowing materials.

Common industrial applications of vibrating screens include:

• Mining: Separating minerals and other materials based on size and shape.
• Aggregate Processing: Sorting and separating sand, gravel, and stones.
• Food Processing: Separating and grading food particles.
• Chemical Processing: Sorting chemicals based on size and shape.
• Recycling: Sorting different materials such as plastic, paper, and metal.
• Pharmaceuticals: Grading powders and granules.
• Pulp and Paper: Separating fibers and other materials.

Sifter/Edged Screens

Sifter/Edged Screens feature edging material like metals, plastic, vinyl, or canvas, often with grommets for tension. Various mesh materials such as stainless steel are available.

Sifter/Edged Screens separate wanted particles from unwanted ones and help characterize the particle size distribution of a sample.

The construction process involves inspecting and precisely cutting Wire Cloth. Edging material is heat-sealed to both edges, creating a robust frame. Additional options like center and wear strips are also available.

Round or oval grommets enhance durability and functionality. Unique labels with material specifications are available for identification.

Sifter Screens are commonly used in:

• Pharmaceutical
• Chemical
• Agricultural
• Mineral Grading
• Plastics
• Food
• Fertilizer
• Recycling

Shaker/Hooked Screens

Shaker/Hooked Screens are typically used in the mining and quarrying industries for particle separation. They also excel in grading, sorting, and screening materials like soils, coal, and chemicals. They are also utilized in agriculture for grain screening and industrial processes to remove impurities.

We offer a variety of standard hook profiles and custom profiles up to 120" in length.

To ensure durability for industrial use, options like backing meshes are available for added support.

To best understand this, we must delve into the different types of shakers found on portable screening equipment. The most common screeners, Precision Screens, are widely used in sand and gravel applications, featuring an eccentric shaft typically between 3/32" to 1/4". The shaft often spins backward, with the shaker box set at a steep angle. These screeners usually discharge material onto an upward-traveling transfer conveyor parallel to the screen, making them ideal for sorting aggregates and topsoil.

Scalping Screens or Severe Shaker Screens are distinct as material is fed directly onto the shaker box from the feeder, with the box sloping away. Featuring a punch plate or thick wire woven screen on the top deck, the eccentric shaft measures between 3/8" to 3/4", providing intense shaking action. These screens are ideal for heavy-duty screening and handling rugged materials like large rocks and wood, commonly used in land clearing and aggregate processing. The severe shaking helps in better separation and reduces the chance of blockage.
