Creative began manufacturing vibro screening equipment for the paper and pulp industry and has since developed solutions for a wide range of demanding applications, including PET flakes and fibre, sugar and distillery processes, minerals, chemicals, food products, pharmaceuticals, starch, biomass and wastewater-related separation.
With 30+ years of experience and 5,000+ vibro screens installed, Creative focuses on sturdy equipment designed for repeated industrial operation, practical maintenance requirements and long service life. The appropriate screening configuration depends on the material, required separation, throughput and process conditions.
Industrial Vibro Screens for Screening and Separation
Industrial vibro screens use controlled vibration to move material across a screening surface and separate particles according to size or other process requirements. Depending on the application and configuration, a vibro screen can be used for sieving, grading, sizing, classification and separation of powders, granules, fibres and other bulk materials.
The terms vibro screen, vibro sifter, vibratory screener and vibratory separator are sometimes used differently across industries. The terminology may vary, but the important consideration is selecting equipment that achieves the required screening or separation result.
Screening performance depends on more than the machine itself. Material characteristics, particle size, moisture, feed condition, required separation, throughput and the desired number of fractions can all influence the appropriate configuration.
Creative approaches each application according to its material and process requirements rather than applying one standard arrangement to every screening duty.
What Can a Vibro Screen Be Used For?
Vibro screens can perform different screening and separation duties depending on the material and the required process result.
Sizing and Classification
Vibro screens can separate materials into different particle-size ranges using appropriate screening surfaces and configurations. This can help classify powders, granules, minerals and other bulk materials according to the required size range.
Oversize and Unwanted-Particle Removal
Where material contains particles outside the desired range, screening can separate oversize material from the acceptable fraction. Depending on the application, screening can also help remove unwanted particles that should not proceed into subsequent processing.
Grading and Sieving
Where consistent particle size is important, vibro screening can be used to grade and sieve incoming or processed material. The screening arrangement is selected according to the material and required separation.
De-dusting and De-lumping
Powders and bulk materials can contain dust, agglomerates or lumps that affect downstream processing. Appropriate screening arrangements can help separate these unwanted fractions and provide a more consistent feed for the next process stage.
Safety and Check Screening
Vibro screens can be incorporated into production processes to remove unwanted oversize particles or foreign material before material moves to the next stage. This can provide an additional screening check for process consistency.
Solid-Liquid Separation, Filtration and Dewatering
Suitable vibro screening configurations can also be used for certain wet applications where solids need to be separated from liquids. Depending on the process, this can include filtration, solid-liquid separation or dewatering.
Creative Vibro Screens began its manufacturing journey with screening applications for the paper and pulp industry. This experience includes applications involving process chemicals, coating materials, backwater and fibre-containing streams where reliable screening and separation are important to production. For suitable paper and pulp applications, SS 316L vibro screens are used in process areas including Size Press systems, coating kitchens, backwater applications and fibre recovery.
Food, Spices, Agriculture & Cattle Feed
Food, spice, agricultural and cattle-feed processing can involve powders, granules and other bulk materials that require controlled screening during production. Spices and other food-processing materials may require screening to achieve a consistent particle-size range or remove unwanted particles before further processing or packing.
Vibro screens can be used to classify PET flakes according to size and separate fractions outside the required range. The appropriate arrangement depends on the characteristics of the flakes, required particle-size separation and process throughput.
Pharmaceuticals, Ceramics, Paints & Pigments
Vibro screening can support manufacturing processes where powders, granules or particulate materials need to be sieved, classified or checked before the next stage of production.
Sugar Crystal Screening & Decrystallization Applications
Vibro screening can be used around sugar-crystal processing where controlled screening, separation or handling of sugar crystals is required. Different stages of the process can require different screening arrangements depending on the material condition and required result.
Fertilizers, Biomass & Wastewater Applications
Industrial screening and separation requirements can extend beyond conventional dry powder and granule processing. Fertilizer production, biomass handling and wastewater treatment can involve materials with different flow, moisture and solids characteristics.
Minerals, Chemicals & Industrial Powders
Mineral powders, chemical materials and other fine industrial solids can require controlled screening to achieve a desired particle-size range, remove unwanted fractions or prepare material for subsequent processing. Creative has experience with applications involving quartz, silica, dolomite, lead, soapstone, calcium carbonate and other mineral powders, as well as starch and coating powders.
The appropriate equipment depends on material characteristics, liquid conditions, solids loading and the required process result.
How to Choose the Right Vibro Screen for Your Process
Selecting a vibro screen starts with understanding the material and the result the screening process needs to achieve. Equipment suitable for dry powder screening may require a different configuration from equipment used for fibres, minerals, PET flakes or wet separation.
Important factors include:
-
Material Characteristics
Particle size, shape, density, moisture content, flow behaviour and tendency to agglomerate can affect the screening approach.
-
Required Separation
The desired result may involve sizing, grading, classification, oversize removal, foreign-particle removal, de-dusting, de-lumping or separation of solids from liquids.
-
Throughput and Feed Conditions
The quantity of material entering the screening process and the way it is fed into the machine can influence the equipment configuration.
-
Screening Surface and Configuration
The required screen or mesh arrangement depends on the material and desired separation. The number of screening stages or fractions required can also affect the machine configuration.
-
Dry or Wet Processing
Dry powders and granules behave differently from wet materials, sludge, fibres and liquid-based process streams. Wet applications may require different arrangements for filtration, solid-liquid separation or dewatering.
Installation and Maintenance Requirements
Available space, process layout, accessibility, cleaning requirements and maintenance considerations should also be considered before finalizing the equipment.
