Horizontal screens have three shaft, six roller bearings and high-life drive system with liquid oil lubricated. They provide high capacity and high efficiency screening due to horizontal design of screen and vibrating advantage of drive system
What Is a Horizontal Screen and How Does It Work?
A horizontal screen operates almost level and moves the material with linear or elliptical vibration. The vibration is usually produced by gear-synchronised exciter units or counter-rotating vibrator motors.
Because the material stays on the deck longer, horizontal screens separate accurately; they suit wet screening and plants with limited height.
Applications
- Accurate fraction separation and final product screening
- Wet screening
- Mobile and low-height plants
- Screening sand and fine material
Selection Checklist
- Need for linear or elliptical motion
- Screen area: material travels more slowly on a horizontal screen
- Spray line and water requirement
- Exciter unit lubrication and maintenance conditions
Main Spare Parts for Horizontal Screens
- Screen panels and wire
- Exciter unit and gears
- Bearings and lubrication
- Springs, spray pipes and nozzles
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a horizontal screen better than an inclined one?
It depends on the application: a horizontal screen separates more accurately and takes less height, an inclined screen gives higher capacity on the same area.
How is a horizontal screen exciter maintained?
Check oil level and cleanliness, gear and bearing temperature regularly, and change the oil at the manufacturer’s interval.
