Size Separation of Particles
- Flat screens are vibrated, or shaken, or impacted with bouncing balls. Inclinded screens vibrate at about 600-7,000 strokes/min and are used for down to 38 µm, although capacity drops off sharply below 200 µm. Reciprocating screens operate at 30-1,000 strokes/min and handle sizes down to 0.25 mm at the higher speeds.
The information is arranged by commonly recognised categories. In some instances, definitions and general statements have been included for clarity.
