Screening machines in general are indispensable tools in the construction and earthmoving industry, in waste management and in many other sectors. They are used to sort materials by size, removing unwanted materials and producing a high-quality end product.
Types of screening machines
There are various types of screening machines that differ in how they work and where they are used. The most common types include:
- Trommel screening plants: Trommel screening plants consist of a rotating drum fitted with screens of different hole sizes. The material is fed into the drum and screened through the screens as it rotates. Finer particles fall through the screens, while coarser particles exit at the end of the drum.
- Flat-deck screening plants: Flat-deck screening plants consist of a flat screen deck that is set in motion by vibrations or water pulses. The material is fed onto the screen deck and screened as the deck moves. Finer particles fall through the screen, while coarser particles remain on the screen deck.
- Vibrating screening plants: Vibrating screening plants consist of a screen deck that is set in motion by vibrating movements. The material is fed onto the screen deck and screened as the deck vibrates. Finer particles fall through the screen, while coarser particles remain on the screen deck.
Materials that can be screened
Screening machines can screen a wide range of materials, including:
- Stones and soils: Screening machines are often used to screen stones, construction debris, gravel and soils such as topsoil or humus—i.e., for material processing.
- Waste: Screening machines can also be used to screen waste to remove unwanted materials such as paper, scrap and metal.
- Wood chips: A new trend that is emerging is processing and screening wood chips. The fine fraction can be screened out using screening plants, which can then be used elsewhere and significantly upgrades wood chips, e.g., for heating systems.

Benefits of using screening machines
Using screening machines offers several benefits, including:
- Improved product quality: Screening machines can help improve the quality of a product by removing unwanted particles.
- Increased efficiency: Screening machines can help increase the efficiency of a process by sorting materials quickly and efficiently.
- Reduced costs: Screening machines can help reduce costs by cutting waste and enabling materials to be reused. This can drastically reduce your disposal costs!
