function of vibrating screen in sinter plant

Role of Vibrating Screen in Sinter Plant

In sinter plants, vibrating screens are critical for separating sintered ore particles by size before blast furnace charging. They ensure optimal particle distribution (typically 5-50mm) to improve permeability and reduce fuel consumption. High-frequency vibrations (800-1500 RPM) with adjustable amplitudes (3-10mm) efficiently handle abrasive materials while minimizing blinding.

Key Equipment in Crushing & Sand Making Line

A complete production line includes:
1. Primary Jaw Crusher (Feed size: ≤1200mm, Capacity: 50-2000t/h)
2. Secondary Cone Crusher (Closed-side setting: 10-50mm)
3. Tertiary Impact Crusher (Output shape control: ≤5% needle content)
4. Vibrating Screen (Decks: 2-4 layers, Mesh: 3-100mm)

Engineering Case

A Malaysian granite processing plant adopted a 500tph line with ZSW490×110 feeder + PE1200×1500 jaw crusher + 3YK3070 screen. Achieved <5% oversize in final product, meeting ASTM C33 aggregate standards.
