Tailor Made Screening Technology for different Screening Tasks in the Phosphate Industry

The paper will present an overview of specific requirements of the phosphate industry on screening processes and technology and in which way they can be met by choosing the right screening technology. Influencing parameters such as screen type, mesh or anti-clogging device on the production are described and discussed. Due to numerous developments in screening machines it becomes more difficult to decide for the right screen type and operating parameters. Nevertheless some parameters are of basic importance and will be the same for all screen types. These basic parameters for screening processes will be presented as well as different types of screening machines to demonstrate the way to decide for the best available technique.
