VIBRATING SCREEN
INTRODUCTION
Vibrating screens are used for mechanical separation of dry hard grains
amplitude pass without trouble through screens. Screens, which are
rapidly vibrated with small amplitude, are less likely to blind (a screen
plugged with solid is said to be blinded) than are gyrating screen.
Mechanical vibrations are usually transmitted from high-speed ecentric
to the casing of the unit and from there to screens. Ordinarily no more
than three decks are used in vibrating screens. The objective of screen
is to accept mixture of particles of various sizes and separate it into
two fractions, an underflow that is passed through screen and an
overflow that is rejected by screen.

CALCULATIONS
Material balances over screen.
Simple material balances can be written over a screen, which are
useful in calculating there ratios of feed, oversize and underflow from
the screen analyses of the three streams and knowledge of the desired
cut dia.

Screen effectiveness of a screen (often called as screen efficiency) is a
measure of the success of a screen closely separating material A and
B. If a screen functioned perfectly, all material A would be in overflow
& all of the material B would be in the underflow. A common measure
of screen effectiveness is the ratio of oversize material A that is
actually in the overflow to the amount of a entering with the feed.
These quantities are Dxd & Fxf respectively. Thus.
Ea = Dxd
Fxf
Where Ea is the screen effectiveness base on the oversize. Similarly,
an effectiveness Eb based on the undersize material is given by
Eb = B (1 Xb)
F (1 Xf)
A combined overall effectiveness can be defined the product of two
individual ratio denoted by E,
E = Ea * Eb = D.Bxd (1- Xb)
FXf (1- Xf)
Substituting D/F & B/F from equation (3) & (4),
E = (Xf Xb) (Xd- Xf) Xd (1 Xb)
(Xd Xb) (1- Xf) Xf.
