What is the difference between circular vibrating screen and linear vibrating screen?

Circular vibrating screens and linear vibrating screens are commonly used in mining production. What is the difference between these two? Xinxiang Dayong Machinery introduces seven differences between linear vibrating screens and circular vibrating screens.

1. Different motion trajectories

The material on the linear vibrating screen moves forward in a straight line.

The material on the circular vibrating screen undergoes circular motion.

2. Different exciters

The linear vibrating screen exciter consists of two shafts and operates based on the principle of vibration motor excitation.

The circular vibrating screen operates using an inertia motor as the exciter is a shaft.

3. Different blockage phenomena

If the feeding of the linear vibrating screen is uneven or the humidity and viscosity of the material are high, it is easy to cause blockage.

The material of the circular vibrating screen can jump out of the screen by utilizing the trajectory movement of the equipment, reducing the phenomenon of hole blockage.

4. Different installation angles

Generally speaking, the inclination angle of the screen surface of the linear vibrating screen is small in production, which is convenient for process layout.

Circular vibrating screens typically have an installation angle of 15-20 degrees. Thereby changing the speed of material movement along the screening surface and improving screening efficiency.

5. Different materials

The materials used for the production of linear vibrating screens are mainly lightweight plates or stainless steel plates.

The selection of materials for circular vibrating screens is relatively thick, which can resist the impact force of materials during the screening process.

6. Different external structures

The linear vibrating screen can adopt a fully enclosed structure, without dust spillage, which is more conducive to environmental protection.

The processing capacity of circular vibrating screen per unit time is higher than that of linear vibrating screen.

7. Applicable fields vary

The linear vibrating screen mainly screens fine particles, dry materials with light density and low hardness. Circular vibrating screen mainly screens materials with high specific gravity, large particle size, and high hardness.
