What is the difference between linear and circular vibrating screen?

time:Sep 25, 2024 source:ZEXCIT

Linear vibrating screens are widely used in various industries for the separation and classification of materials. They operate on the principle of a linear motion, utilizing two vibrating motors that create a linear motion along the screen. 

A circular vibrating screen is a type of screening equipment used to separate materials based on size.

The difference between linear vibrating screen and circular vibrating screen

Linear and circular vibrating screens are both used for sorting and separating materials, but they have different operational principles and applications.

Linear Vibrating Screen:

Movement: The screen moves in a straight line, creating a linear motion.

Design: Typically has a rectangular or square shape.

Application: Best for screening materials that require a higher level of precision and when dealing with fine particles.

Screening Efficiency: High efficiency for fine materials and can handle multiple layers of screening.

Material Handling: Suitable for materials with a low angle of repose.

Circular Vibrating Screen:

Movement: The screen moves in a circular motion, creating a centrifugal force.

Design: Generally round in shape.

Application: Effective for larger materials and coarse particle separation.

Screening Efficiency: Better for larger materials; can be less efficient for fine materials compared to linear screens.

Material Handling: Can handle a wider range of material sizes and is often used in heavy-duty applications.

In summary, choose a linear vibrating screen for precision and fine materials, while a circular vibrating screen is more suited for larger, coarser materials.
