How to Choose a Tracked Vibrating Screen?

Tracked vibrating screens, also known as mobile screening plants, are versatile pieces of equipment used in a variety of industries for separating materials based on particle size. They are particularly well-suited for applications where frequent relocation is required, as they can be easily moved from one site to another without the need for disassembly.

When choosing a tracked vibrating screen, there are several factors to consider to ensure you select the right equipment for your needs. Here are some of the key considerations:

1. Application and Material:

• What type of material will you be screening? Different materials have different screening requirements, so it is important to choose a screen that is designed for the specific material you will be processing. For example, screens for sand and gravel will typically have different mesh sizes and screen openings than screens for coal or ore.
• What is the desired capacity of the screen? The capacity of the screen will be determined by the feed rate of the material, the screening efficiency, and the desired product size.

2. Screen Size and Style:

• 
  What is the size of the screening surface? The size of the screening surface will determine the throughput of the screen. A larger screening surface will allow for more material to be processed, but it will also be more expensive.
• 
  What type of screen style do you need? There are two main types of tracked vibrating screens: grizzly screens and sizing screens. Grizzly screens are used for scalping or initial separation of large materials, while sizing screens are used for more precise separation of smaller materials.

3. Power Source:

• What type of power source will you be using? Tracked vibrating screens can be powered by electric motors, diesel engines, or hydraulic power. The choice of power source will depend on the availability of power at the job site and the desired portability of the screen.

4. Additional Features:

• What additional features are important to you? Some tracked vibrating screens come with additional features, such as spray bars for dust suppression, conveyor belts for product discharge, and remote control operation.

5. Manufacturer and Reputation:

• Choose a reputable manufacturer with a proven track record. There are many manufacturers of tracked vibrating screens, so it is important to choose one that has a good reputation and can provide you with the support you need.

6. Price:

• Get quotes from multiple manufacturers and compare prices. Tracked vibrating screens can range in price from a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands of dollars, so it is important to get quotes from multiple manufacturers to compare prices and features.
