Equipment Options & Accessories

Deck Designs

Single, double or triple deck designs and custom units that accommodate multiple decks on a single unit. When screening and separating bulk solid materials by size or density is required, the top screen can separate oversized materials while the bottom screen separates fines from the process flow. Middle screens can process two size grades of material. Perforated plate, wire mesh, and wedge wire deck designs are available for your specific application requirements.

Size & Capacity

Available in widths from 6 inches to 10 feet and lengths up to 200 feet with capacities up to 1500 tons per hour.

High Temperature Designs

High temperature vibratory screener designs available for handling and screening high temperature materials with maximum efficiency.

Cleanability / Clean-In-Place

Units can be specially designed for applications requiring frequent clean out such as those in the food, pet food, and dairy industry.

Elliptical Motion Drive

Carrier vibratory screeners are available with elliptical motion drives that can solve difficult screening problems. This motion provides a high rate of travel at the feed end, providing a thin material bed and rapid stratification, which separates the fines quickly. At the discharge end, the material flow is retarded, giving near-size particles additional time to pass the screen. Capacities range up to 500 tons per hour.

Materials of Construction

Reduce product adhesion with polished troughs or material surfaces fabricated in carbon steel or other alloys.

Drive Systems

Tuned, two-mass, natural frequency and brute-force direct drive systems are available to move a variety of bulk materials.

Applications

Biomass, Paper & Wood

Classifies biomass, wood chips, fibers, and paper-derived materials by particle size while removing fines and oversized contaminants. Controlled vibration maintains uniform bed distribution and reliable screening at high throughput. Use in renewable energy and biocarbon sectors to remove dust, filter out oversized waste, stratify particles, and prepare feedstocks for uniform drying and processing.

Catalysts, Chemical Compounds, Powders & Resins

Precisely classifies powders, granules, catalysts, and resins to achieve controlled particle-size distributions. Adjustable vibratory motion supports efficient separation while minimizing product degradation and maintaining consistent throughput.

Cement & SCMs

Efficiently separate, scalp, and sort cement and SCMs like fly ash. Screen cementitious materials and supplementary cementitious materials to remove oversize particles and control product sizing. Remove oversized chunks and contaminants, ensuring uniform particle sizes, consistent batch quality, and optimal downstream grinding efficiency.

Clay, Brick & Concrete Mix

Separates and sizes clay, crushed brick, and concrete constituents before downstream processing. Rugged screening decks withstand abrasive materials while maintaining consistent particle-size control and throughput.

Coal, Minerals & Ores

Carrier Vibrating Equipment screeners classify, size, and dewater coal, minerals, and ores. Using controlled natural-frequency vibration, these machines quickly stratify materials and remove fines.

Fertilizer

Separate, scalp, size, and dedust fertilizer granulates. Our screeners are high-capacity, heavy-duty machines used to optimize production by preventing particle blinding, removing unwanted agglomerations, and ensuring that the final fertilizer product meets strict size and quality standards.

Fiberglass

Separates fiberglass materials by size and removes unwanted fines or oversized fractions. Controlled vibratory motion provides consistent material distribution while supporting efficient processing of lightweight, difficult-to-handle fibers. Perform sizing, separating, drying, curing, and cooling.

Food, Pet Foods & Dairy

Provides sanitary size classification of powders, granules, pellets, and food products. Controlled vibration removes fines and oversized material while maintaining product integrity and consistent downstream quality.

Foundry Castings, Sand,
Sprue & Scrap

Separates castings, sand, sprue, and metallic scrap after shakeout or processing. Heavy-duty vibratory screening withstands impact and abrasion while efficiently recovering reusable foundry materials.

Frac Sand, Sand & Aggregates

Classifies sand and aggregates into controlled particle-size fractions while removing oversize and fines. High-capacity vibration promotes material stratification and consistent sizing for downstream processing.

Glass Cullet

Sizes glass cullet and removes fines or oversized pieces before recycling and remelting. Durable screening surfaces handle abrasive glass while maintaining consistent particle distribution and processing capacity.

Lithium & Critical Minerals

Provides precise particle-size classification of lithium-bearing and critical mineral materials. Controlled vibration removes off-specification fractions while supporting consistent feed characteristics for downstream concentration, thermal, or refining processes.

Pelletized Plastics

Classifies plastic pellets while removing fines, strands, and oversized material generated during pelletizing. Gentle vibratory motion protects pellet integrity while delivering consistent product sizing for downstream handling.

Pharmaceuticals

Precise particle separation, classifying, scalping, and de-dusting to ensure drug formulations meet exact particle size requirements and remove unwanted agglomerates or contaminants for product purity. Designed to meet strict pharmaceutical sanitary guidelines and protect downstream equipment.

Recycling & Waste Materials

Separate mixed waste and recyclable materials by size, remove contaminants, and recover valuable resources. Designed to process wet or dry streams like scrap metal, glass, plastic, and compost with high efficiency and throughput.

Refuse, Recycled Glass

Effectively separate glass cullet, metals, and refuse in recycling streams. Remove contaminants and grade materials to meet strict processing and purity specifications.

Rubber

Screens crumb rubber and processed rubber particles into controlled size fractions while removing fines and oversized material. Vibratory motion reduces material buildup and supports consistent downstream processing.

Used Beverage Cans (UBC)

Separate lightweight debris and fine contaminants from the heavier aluminum, optimizing the scrap for downstream sorting and melting, which reduces furnace melt loss.

Vibrating Screener FAQs

How does a vibrating screener work?

Vibration moves material across screen surfaces, allowing particles smaller than each deck’s opening to pass through while larger material is conveyed forward.

What types of materials can be screened?

Powders, granules, pellets, sand, aggregates, chemicals, biomass, minerals, food ingredients, plastics, and more.

Can a vibrating screener separate materials into multiple size fractions?

Yes – Carrier vibrating screeners can include multiple decks for multi-stage classification.

Can it handle wet materials?

Yes – specialized screen surfaces and dewatering options allow effective wet screening.

What screen options are available?

Wire mesh, perforated plate, wedge wire, and specialty media depending on the material and required cut size.
