Overview
Vibrating screens separate bulk materials by particle size using vibrating motion across one or more screen decks. Common in quarrying, recycling and mining, they work with crushers and feeders to sort sand, gravel, ore and aggregate into graded products. Models range from compact scalpers to large multi‑deck plants with different screen media, drive types and stroke settings chosen for capacity, cut size and material abrasiveness.
FAQ
What should I check when buying a used vibrating screen?
Check screen area and deck count, condition of screen media and frames, motor/drive and gearbox condition, structural welds/cracks, vibration bearings and isolation springs, production capacity and maintenance records. Ask for a running demo if possible.
How do I arrange safe shipping for a vibrating screen?
Confirm overall dimensions and weight, determine if partial disassembly is needed, plan for lifting points and skids, choose a heavy‑equipment carrier (lowboy/flatbed) and permits for oversize loads, and insure the shipment.
What routine maintenance keeps a vibrating screen reliable?
Daily checks of screen tension, wear panels and deck fasteners; monitor bearings, springs and motor vibration; regular lubrication, bolt torque and alignment checks; and timely replacement of worn screen media and bearings per hours or wear signs.
