Working principle of Finger Screen

The finger screen is a screening device widely used in the fields of mining, building materials, metallurgy, decoration, construction waste treatment and garbage classification. Its structure and working principle are as follows:


1. Basic structure and components of the finger screen

The finger screen is mainly composed of key components such as the screen box, drive device, support structure and screen surface composed of multiple parallel bars. The screen box is the main structure that accommodates the finger screen surface, the drive device is responsible for providing the vibration or rotation power required for screening, and the support structure ensures the stability and durability of the entire equipment.

2. Working principle of the finger screen

The working principle of the finger screen is mainly based on the physical properties of the material, especially the size, shape and weight of the material. When the materials are fed into the finger screen, they will be subjected to the force of vibration or rotation on the screen surface, so that they move on the screen surface. The following are the detailed steps of the working principle of the finger screen:

a. Material enters the screen surface: The material is fed into the screen box through the feed port and falls on the screen surface composed of bars.

b. Vibration or rotation: The drive device is started to drive the screen box and the screen surface to vibrate or rotate. This movement causes the material to tumble, jump and move on the screen surface.

c. Layered processing: Since the bars are installed in parallel, the movement of the material on the screen surface causes it to be layered according to the particle size. Smaller particles will fall through the gaps between the bars, while larger particles will remain on the screen surface and continue to move forward.

d. Screening of mesh size: Materials smaller than the mesh size will fall smoothly and be collected in the under-screen part when passing through the gaps between the bars. Materials larger than the mesh size will be retained on the screen surface and continue to be subjected to vibration or rotation until they are discharged from the screen surface.

e. Material discharge: After screening, materials of different particle sizes are collected on the upper and lower parts of the screen respectively. The upper part of the screen mainly collects larger particles, while the lower part of the screen collects smaller particles. These materials can then be sent out of the equipment through the discharge port for subsequent processing or utilization.


PS: The finger screen plays an indispensable role in various screening applications with its unique working principle, key characteristics and advantages, as well as a wide range of application scenarios and importance.
