Vibrating screens wire mesh, a key component in screening equipment, classifies bulk materials (ore, aggregate, etc.) by particle size via vibration, with 85–95% efficiency. It withstands high-frequency vibration (800–3000 rpm) and abrasion, requiring high tensile strength and wear resistance. Composed of warp/weft wires (materials: high-carbon steel, stainless steel), mesh openings (0.1–100 mm, square/rectangular/hexagonal), and edge reinforcement, it has structural types: woven (plain/twill/Dutch weaves), welded (rigid welded intersections), and perforated plate (punched steel plates). Manufacturing processes vary by type: woven mesh involves wire drawing, straightening, weaving, and edge treatment; welded mesh uses wire preparation, grid alignment, resistance welding, and surface treatment; perforated mesh requires plate cutting, punching, and deburring. Finishing includes galvanizing, polishing, or coating. Quality control covers material testing (tensile strength, composition), dimensional checks (opening size, flatness), structural tests (weld strength, abrasion resistance), and performance validation (screening efficiency, vibration fatigue). Installation involves frame preparation, mesh positioning, fixing (bolts/wedge bars), tension adjustment (10–20 kN/m), and sealing/testing to ensure stable operation. This mesh is vital for efficient material classification in mining, construction, and metallurgy.
The vibrating screen works by using the reciprocating vibration generated by the vibrator excitation. The upper rotating weight of the vibrator causes the screen surface to produce a plane gyration vibration, while the lower rotating weight causes the screen surface to produce a conical gyration vibration. The combined effect causes the screen surface to produce a complex gyration vibration. Its vibration trajectory is a complex space curve. The curve is projected as a circle on the horizontal plane and an ellipse on the vertical plane. The amplitude can be changed by adjusting the exciting force of the upper and lower rotating weights. And adjusting the spatial phase angle of the upper and lower weights can change the curve shape of the screen surface motion trajectory and change the motion trajectory of the material on the screen surface.
