Different Types of Vibratory Screens & Where Can Be Used?


Vibratory screens are mechanical devices that utilise vibrating wire meshes or perforated plates to classify or separate a product into different fractions based on particle sizes and to remove contaminant particles (e.g. torn pieces of bag). They are an excellent solution for sorting and sifting fast-flowing, bulk granular/powder type products of all shapes and sizes.

Fractions can be classed as oversize, good and fine. The definition of each category depends on the product dimensional particle sizes - ideal for internal quality control and assurance.

Types of Vibratory Screen

Vibratory screens are available in two types: circular (always horizontal), and linear (horizontal or inclined). Circular and linear screens can use 1, 2 or 3 decks utilizing wire mesh or perforated plate to separate product into the required fractions.

1) Linear Screens

Linear vibrating screens for example are driven by twin out-of-balance vibrating motors, creating motion in a vertical and forward direction. Alternatively, the machine can create vibration by using single or multiple electromagnetic drives depending on tray length.

Capacity: The number of fractions each screen can produce depend on the number of decks it possesses for example:

  • 1 deck: 2 fractions

  • 3 decks: 4 fractions

Applications: primary and secondary classification, sizing, washing, dewatering, hot material screening.

Linear screening can provide a higher throughput than circular screens by utilising larger screen sizes.

Linear screens are excellent for multi-stage applications too. The ability to link stacked screens/decks to the same vibratory motors allows for two, three or four stage separation. They can have additional water washes for cleaning the meshes.

How it works

In linear vibrating screens, the particulate enters a flat top surface (via a front-loading shoot, bag or conveyor) and vibrated by two opposite-facing side motors. Separated product is then gravity-fed to hoppers, bags or conveyed to the next process.


Reliable linear vibratory screening is popular in many industries including food, chemicals, farming and aggregates to name but a few.

2) Circular Screens

Circular vibrating screens use a more complex spiral motion for screening and sorting purposes.

Capacity: Fractions available are:

  • 1 deck: 2 fractions

  • 2 decks: 3 fractions

  • 3 decks: 4 fractions

Applications: Separation of agglomerate particles, scalping of oversize material, screening of unwanted foreign bodies and accurate particle size classification.

Circular-motion screeners are the most popular separator due to their ease of use in industrial applications. You can find circular-motor precision sorting machines in food ingredient factories, rubber recycling plants, petrochemical labs and plastic particulate workshops.

Circular motion units are ideal for sites that need a versatile, all-in-one vibratory sorter. By altering the motor balance settings and selecting the correct aperture mesh, circular machines can process a diverse spectrum of dry, wet, organic and artificial materials of varying sizes.

How it works:

A circular-motion machine such as the Gough Vibrecon utilising both vertical and horizontal movement relies on direct motor drives, alternatively the Gough Vibraflo has two side-mounted out-of-balance motors giving a more simple vertical vibration motion. Generally, a circular motion induces continual vibration on the meshes chosen. Motor weight settings can be refined for both horizontal and vertical motion.

What are the different types of vibrating screens?

  1. Linear Vibrating Screen

  2. Circular Vibrating Screen

  3. Elliptical Vibrating Screen

  4. High-Frequency Vibrating Screen

  5. Inclined Vibrating Screen

  6. Horizontal Vibrating Screen

  7. Banana Vibrating Screen

Vibrating screens are mechanical equipment that use vibrating screen panels to segregate various mixtures. These contain different particles such as powder, rocks, and other fine materials. It is commonly used in the chemical, food, medicine, and metallurgy industries in the Philippines.

Furthermore, the vibrating screen is cut into different types. In this blog, we'll discuss the different types of vibrating screens to help you choose the right one for your project needs. Read on to learn more.

What is a Vibrating Screen?

To avoid manufacturing delays and lessen manual work, a vibrating screen is used to increase the efficiency of a project. It consists of an elastic screen surface that has high vibration intensity, large vibration amplitude, and low frequency. All of this helps to ease the entire process of an operation.

It works by maintaining the screening force at an optimal point that establishes the screening efficiency in high mode. As a result, the processing capacity of the vibrating screen is huge. According to our customers, our vibrating screens can meet their production needs, while also noting that the screen replacement is fairly convenient.

Vibrating screens can be divided according to weight and purpose. Below are the following types of vibrating screens.

Linear Vibrating Screen

The linear vibrating screen utilizes double vibrating motors that rotate in opposite and synchronous directions. This creates a horizontal force that causes the screen to move in a straight line. The opposing forces of the motors cancel each other out in a direction parallel to the motor axis, resulting in a perpendicular force that powers the screen's motion.

Circular Vibrating Screen

The circular vibrating screen is a new type of screen that is equipped with a multi-layer, high-efficiency screen. It can perform operational tasks quickly and efficiently. The screen is made of high manganese steel woven screen, punched screen plate, and rubber screen plate. It is designed with a seat-type structure which allows for easy adjustments to the screen surface angle by adjusting the position and height of the spring support.

Elliptical Vibrating Screen

As the name suggests, the elliptical vibrating screen has an elliptical motion track. This is commonly used for screening operations of stone and sand material. Thanks to its ability to accommodate a larger capacity, this kind of vibrating screen can be used for bigger operations. You can find this in mines, mines, quarries, mobiles, and other screening operations.

High-Frequency Vibrating Screen

The high-frequency vibrating screen is one of the best screens to use to segregate dry or wet raw materials. It is widely used by the mineral processing industry due to its high-frequency screen equipped with a pulp distributor, screen frame, suspension spring, and more.

Inclined Vibrating Screen

Heavily inclined screens are utilized for processing quarry, mine, and demolition waste, as well as topsoil, recycling construction materials and screening gravel and aggregates. This improves efficiency for workers during operations. The screen box can also be equipped with a variety of options, such as woven screens, welded screens, self-cleaning screens, piano wire screens, needle screens, and perforated plate screens.

Horizontal Vibrating Screen

A horizontal vibrating screen combines the benefits of linear vibrating screens and linear screens, offering exceptional screen permeability, high processing capacity, and a low installation height. Additionally, while traditional vibrating screens typically have an installation angle of 15-30 degrees, horizontal screens are installed parallel to the ground or at a slight incline of 0-5 degrees, making them suitable for various industries and applications such as quarries, mines, and mobile screening operations of all sizes.

Banana Vibrating Screen

The banana screen has a screen plate with multiple sections, various dip angles, and a broken line along the longitudinal section. As its name suggests, its entire screen is banana-shaped.

In addition, it is primarily used for the classification of large and medium-sized materials with a high fine particle content, but it can also be used for dehydration, demineralization, and de-sliming.
