Roller Screen: Industrial Powerhouse for Heavy-Duty Screening
1. Working Principle & Design
A roller screen consists of multiple parallel alloy steel rollers with star-shaped or disc-shaped surfaces. Driven by motors, the rollers rotate synchronously to separate materials through adjustable gaps (10-300mm).
Key Components:
- Rollers: Made of ZG50Mn2 or high-chrome iron (surface hardness ≥HRC55);
- Drive System: Gear motor + chain transmission with variable frequency control (3-15r/min);
- Gap Adjustment: Hydraulic/manual mechanism (±2mm precision).
2. Typical Applications
- Coal Mining:
- Pre-screening raw coal (separate +300mm gangue);
- Classify lump coal (+50mm) and fines (-50mm) at 2000t/h.
- Metal Mines:
- Remove oversize (+500mm) before primary crushing;
- Separate waste rock from ore with ≥85% efficiency.
- Construction Waste:
- Remove rebar/wood before crushing (95%+ purity);
- Screen concrete blocks (+200mm) at 500-800t/shift.
- Power Plants:
- Control coal size (+30mm) for efficient combustion;
- Recover unburned carbon from ash.

4. Selection Guide
- Step 1: Material Analysis
- Size: Max feed ≤1.5x roller diameter (e.g., Φ200mm roller handles ≤300mm material);
- Moisture: Add 3°-5° incline and spray nozzles if moisture >15%.
- Step 2: Roller Type
- Star Rollers: For sticky materials (e.g., coal slurry);
- Disc Rollers: For dry/hard materials (e.g., iron ore).
- Step 3: Drive Configuration
- Variable Frequency Drive (VFD): For fluctuating feed rates;
- Fixed Speed: Lower maintenance for stable operations.
Conclusion: Roller screens excel in large-particle, high-tonnage screening, making them ideal for coal, mining, and recycling industries.
