small rock stone vibrating and vibratory screen equipment

Vibrating and vibratory screens are essential equipment for separating and classifying small rocks, stones, aggregates, and other granular materials in industries like mining, construction, and recycling. Here’s an overview of the key types and features of such equipment:

1. Types of Vibrating/Vibratory Screens for Small Rocks & Stones
– Linear Vibrating Screen: Uses a linear motion to separate materials by size. Ideal for dry or wet screening of small to medium-sized stones.
– Circular Vibrating Screen: Employs a circular motion for efficient screening. Suitable for fine to coarse materials.
– High-Frequency Screen: Uses rapid vibrations for fine material separation (e.g., sand, gravel).
– Trommel Screen: A rotating cylindrical screen used for larger stones and aggregates.
– Grizzly Screen: Heavy-duty screen with parallel bars for coarse rock separation.

2. Key Features & Components
– Deck Layers: Single or multi-layer (2–4 decks) for grading multiple sizes.
– Vibration Mechanism:
– Electromagnetic vibrators (for precise control).
– Eccentric shaft or unbalanced motor-driven vibration.
– Rubber springs or coil springs for shock absorption.
– Screen Mesh/Material:
– Woven wire mesh (common for small rocks).
– Polyurethane panels (longer lifespan, anti-clogging).
– Perforated steel plates (for heavy-duty applications).
– Drive System:
– Electric motor with vibratory exciters.
– Direct force transmission for high efficiency.

3. Applications
– Sorting crushed stone, gravel, sand, and minerals.
– Recycling construction debris (concrete, asphalt).
– Pre-screening before crushers in mining operations.
– Agricultural use (soil screening).

4. Selection Considerations
– Material Size: Choose mesh aperture based on rock size (e.g., 3mm–100mm).
– Capacity: Throughput requirements (tons/hour).
– Moisture Content: Wet screening vs. screening options.
– Durability: Abrasion-resistant materials for long-term use.

5. Top Manufacturers
– Metso Outotec
– Sandvik
– Terex Finlay
– Haver & Boecker
– Derrick Corporation
