Abstract

The effect of screen length on the screening efficiency of particles is studied under various single parameter conditions including frequency, amplitude, vibration angle, and screen inclination. The Discrete Element Method (DEM) has been used to simulate the screening process. A functional relationship between screening efficiency and screen length is established. It is shown that screening efficiency and screen length have a complicated exponential relationship. Relationships between them are profoundly discussed and conclusions are easily drawn: low values of the parameters do not benefit screening; screening efficiency generally increases with screen length; screening efficiency reaches a plateau when these parameters are in range frequently encountered in practical applications.
