Banana Screen Mining Working Principle
The banana screen, also known as the multi-slope vibrating screen, is a highly efficient equipment widely used in the mining industry. It is mainly used to separate bulk materials based on the size, shape and density of the materials, especially in operations involving the screening of granular materials such as ores, sand, gravel and aggregates.
The working principle of the banana screen is the result of its innovative design and functionality, which improves the overall efficiency of the screening process. Let’s explore how it works.
1. Design of the banana screen
The banana screen gets its name from its unique shape, which resembles the curved shape of a banana. The screen is designed with multiple slopes, usually with angles ranging from 10° to 30°, depending on the material to be processed.
The screen plates are arranged in such a way that they provide different slopes in stages. These stages are arranged from high to low, forming a unique banana shape.
Banana screens are essential equipment in the mining industry and are well known for their efficient material separation capabilities. Judun Mining Machinery Co., Ltd. is a leading mining equipment manufacturer that offers a wide range of banana screens designed to meet the specific needs of modern mining operations.
2. Working Principle of Banana Screen
The screen surface is in the shape of a “banana” from the feed end to the discharge end, and the slope gradually decreases. Under the action of vibration, larger particles are quickly separated at the steep slope, while smaller particles continue to separate in the flatter area, thereby improving the classification efficiency and screening area.
The vibration system provides power through the exciter so that the material is evenly distributed and flows along different slopes. The heavy particles are separated first, and the light particles continue to be screened downward. The overall design effectively avoids blockage and improves screening efficiency, especially for high-capacity processing.
