vibrating screen with crusher

A vibrating screen with crusher is a common setup in crushing and screening plants, used for processing various materials like aggregates, minerals, ores, and recycling waste. Here’s how they work together:

Components & Functionality
1. Crusher
– Breaks down large rocks/raw materials into smaller sizes (e.g., jaw crusher, cone crusher, impact crusher).
– Output is fed onto the vibrating screen for classification.

2. Vibrating Screen
– Separates crushed material by size using vibrating motion (linear, circular, or elliptical).
– Screens can have single or multiple decks (layers) for grading into different fractions (e.g., coarse, medium, fine).

Common Configurations
1. Closed-Circuit Crushing
– Crusher + Screen combo where oversized material from the screen is recirculated back to the crusher for further reduction.
– Ensures uniform product size.

2. Open-Circuit Crushing
– Material passes through the crusher and screen only once without recirculation (used when precise sizing isn’t critical).

3. Mobile Units
– Portable crushers with integrated screens (e.g., mobile jaw crusher + vibrating screen) for on-site processing.

Applications
– Mining/Quarrying: Producing graded aggregates (e.g., 0-5mm, 5-20mm).
– Recycling: Crushing concrete/asphalt debris and screening reusable material.
– Industrial Minerals: Sorting limestone, coal, iron ore, etc.

Key Benefits
– Efficiency: Screens improve productivity by removing fines before secondary crushing.
– Flexibility: Adjustable screen mesh sizes cater to different output requirements.
– Automation: Modern setups include sensors for real-time monitoring of feed and output.

Selection Tips
1. Match the crusher type (jaw/cone/impact) to material hardness.
2. Choose screen size (deck layers, mesh aperture) based on desired product gradation.
3. Ensure proper feed rate to avoid overloading either component.
