Differences Between Circular Vibrating Screen And Linear Vibrating Screen

Once you understand the basics of mechanical screening, the next step is to select a vibrating screen based on your industry and the material you need to feed through your equipment. Between circular and linear vibrating screens, you may find that one is perfect for your unique application and the other is not helpful. Since machines require investment and introduce a new level of quality to your product line, you should make an effort to choose the right machine from the start. Read more to learn the differences between circular vibrating screens and linear vibrating screens.

  Circular Vibrating Screen

Circular Vibrating Screen VS Linear Vibrating Screen

Circular Vibrating Screens

Although the two types of vibrating screens work on similar principles, motion is the main difference. Generally, circular vibratory screens are more popular, with more complex motion cycles and operations. Several components make this equipment operate properly.

The screen body

Screen or sieve

Vibrating source

Basic frame

Triangular belt

Electric motor

Driver eccentric

More (depending on the model)

ZKK Series Linear Vibrating Screen

Thanks to the electric motor, the driver moves eccentrically. It rotates rapidly through the triangle belt and the centrifugal force stimulates the sieve to make a circular motion. The material on the screen is impacted so that the screen provides a throwing motion on the screen surface. As the material passes through the screen, its size decreases. The steep throwing angle prevents the mesh from clogging and achieves maximum efficiency.

Since the circular sifter is available in several versions for screening wet, dry, coarse, or fine particles, this makes it more suitable for a wider range of applications. Several industries that rely on this type of machine for screening are mineral processing plants, mining, food and fertilizer manufacturers, coal processing plants, steel mills, etc.

Y series circular vibrating screen is a kind of high efficient screening machine for the classification of bulk material like coal, coke, ore, sandstone, and chemical material. The products are divided into light-duty and heavy-duty. The heavy-duty screen is used for the classification of large size material, while the light-duty type is for small size material classification.

 Linear Vibrating Screen

Linear Vibrating Screens

The main difference from a linear vibrating screen is that its motion is linear. It uses a vibrating motor to throw the material in an upward and forward linear motion. These models typically run with dual vibrating motors that operate in a synchronized fashion and move centrifugal forces parallel to the motor pathway. Centrifugal force and gravity help throw the material in the direction it is moving, effectively reducing its size and classifying it.

Linear vibratory screens are available in single or double deck types and in sizes up to 4 meters wide and 9 meters long. They are known for their robustness, stability, and ease of maintenance. Typical applications include primary and secondary classification, grading, desludging, washing, dewatering, and hot material screening.
