Linear Vibratory Screen

Applications & Use Cases

• Separating solids from liquids in food production processes.
• Grading and sizing dry bulk materials such as grains, spices, or snacks.
• Removing oversized or undersized particles from a product stream.
• Dewatering washed produce like fruits and vegetables.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Capacity for this class of equipment typically ranges from several hundred kilograms to several tonnes per hour, depending on screen size and material density.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with motor power varying based on screen dimensions.

Screen material

Screens are commonly made from stainless steel mesh or perforated plate, with various aperture sizes available to suit specific grading requirements.

Vibration mechanism

Typically employs eccentric weights on a motor or electromagnetic vibrators to create linear motion for material conveyance and separation.

Construction material

For food processing applications, contact parts are usually 304 or 316 stainless steel to meet hygiene standards.

Footprint

The footprint varies significantly with screen length and width, typically requiring clear space for material feed, discharge, and maintenance access.
