Question 1

Knauer vibrating screens – separating, sorting and cleaning using vibration technology

Accepted Answer

Knauer’s vibrating screens enable the precise separation, sorting and cleaning of large quantities of material through controlled vibration. Whether in the construction and concrete industries, in mining or in food processing – vibrating screens are highly versatile and can be flexibly adapted to individual requirements.

Question 2

What are vibrating screens used for?

Accepted Answer

Vibrating screens are used wherever large quantities of different parts or bulk materials need to be reliably separated and sorted. Furthermore, they are ideal for cleaning products and components: adhesions such as swarf, ochre, shells, dirt or process waste are effectively separated out during the screening process. Vibrating screens are also a tried-and-tested solution in various industrial materialprocessing applications.

Question 3

How does the sieving process work mechanically?

Accepted Answer

The principle of a vibrating screen is based on controlled vibrations: vibrators generate targeted oscillations that transport the material along a screening path, separating it by size or removing impurities in the process. By using different screen geometries, the material can be sorted or graded with precision. The continuous vibration ensures that the material moves evenly along the entire screening path.

Question 4

Where are vibrating screens typically used?

Accepted Answer

Vibrating screens are widely used in numerous industrial sectors – wherever mechanical cleaning or separation processes are required. Typical areas of application include the construction and concrete industries, mining, the chemical industry and mechanical engineering. Vibrating screens are also widely used in the packaging and food industries, as well as in inspection and testing technology. Conveying, sorting and separation are often combined in a single process step.

Question 5

What are the advantages of Knauer’s vibrating screens?

Accepted Answer

Knauer’s vibrating screens impress with their high degree of flexibility: thanks to adjustable vibration parameters, they can be optimally adapted to different screening and material requirements. Variable transport and screening effects can be achieved through precise adjustments to the motor and flyweights. The wide range of applications – from delicate to robust materials, and across both small and large throughput rates – makes Knauer’s vibrating screens a flexible solution for individual customer requirements.
