Screening efficiency is defined as the comparison of the undersized materials brought on the screening and discharged oversized product in contrast to the original amount of undersized materials in the feed stream. Tumbler screening technique allows separation efficiency to be as high as 99% due to the circular screening assembly's three-dimensional

However, when feeding in a low feed rate, the efficiency of the screener will be at low state as well. The particles will stay in a loose state, which will decrease the effectiveness.

effect as the residual time of the particles will be reduced. When the screen is moving too slow, it will cause fluctuation, which will decrease the efficiency. The common speed range is 180 to 280 min-1, and the common amplitude applied to the screener is 60 to 80 mm horizontally and 5 to 40 mm vertically.

The screen box is vibrated by using cylinder-type eccentric shaft vibration exciter with consistent amplitude vibrator mounted on the side panel screen box and V-belt driven by a motor, which produces centrifugal force. The screen side plate is made of high quality steel plate with

Material input to a tumbler screening technique should be constant and uniform throughout the running. Otherwise, the particles will not be evenly distributed on the screen and it may cause fluctuation. And it will lead to a poor performance of the tumbler screening. Feed rate should be more constant

Feed rate affects the screening performance of the tumbler screener as well. The amount of material presented to a screen for processing is called feed rate. It is often related to the amplitude and frequency of the vibration. When feeding to a screener in a high rate, the capacity of the screening

Tumbler Screening case, the screening is moving in three dimensions. The movement of the particles is determined by the vibration.
