Linear Vibratory Screen

• Separating solids from liquids in food processing.
• Grading dry bulk materials by particle size, such as grains or aggregates.
• Dewatering various products in industrial settings.
• Scalping larger contaminants from a product stream.
• Classifying powders and granules in chemical or pharmaceutical industries.

Typical capacity

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

Power supply

Units commonly operate on 3-phase industrial power, typically 400V, 50Hz, with motor sizes varying based on screen dimensions and load.

Screen dimensions

Screen dimensions are highly variable, but commonly range from 0.5m x 1.5m to 2m x 5m for industrial applications.

Material of construction

Frames are typically mild steel or stainless steel, with contact parts often in stainless steel for food or chemical applications.

Vibration mechanism

Most units utilise unbalanced motors or eccentric weights to generate linear vibratory motion.

Screen mesh

Screen meshes are interchangeable and available in various materials (e.g., woven wire, perforated plate) and aperture sizes to suit specific separation requirements.

Footprint

The footprint depends on screen size and support structure but typically requires sufficient space for material feed, discharge, and maintenance access.

• What types of materials can a linear vibratory screen process?

  Linear vibratory screens are versatile and can process a wide range of materials, including powders, granules, aggregates, food products, and slurries, for tasks like sizing, scalping, and dewatering.

• How do I determine the correct screen mesh size?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used linear vibratory screen?

• Can this equipment be integrated into an existing production line?

• What are the advantages of a linear vibratory screen over a circular vibratory screen?

Sorting and grading equipment is valued for improving product consistency and processing efficiency. Buyers typically seek machines in good mechanical condition with minimal wear on critical components like belts, motors and calibration systems. Common strengths include reliable performance when properly maintained, cost savings versus new equipment, and compatibility with existing production lines. Industry sentiment favours models from established manufacturers known for durability. Buyers should inspect electrical systems thoroughly and verify spare parts availability before purchasing used units.
