What Is The Difference Between Banana Screen And Linear Screen?

The banana screen and linear screen are both commonly used screening equipment, which are widely used in the classification, screening, and filtering of solid particles and powders. The main differences between banana screens and linear screens are screening principle, applicable materials, maintenance cost, and structural design.

What is the difference between the banana screen and the linear screen?

1. Screening principle

The banana screen uses the throwing motion of the material on the screen surface to simulate the effect of tumbling screening and naturally screens the material by combing, turning, and evenly distributing the material layer by layer. The linear screen uses vibration force to make the material slide linearly on the screen.

2. Applicable materials

The banana screen is mainly suitable for screening wet materials, such as viscous particles, mud, etc. Linear screens are generally suitable for screening dry, wet, and high-viscosity materials, such as ore, coal powder, building materials, chemical raw materials, etc.

3. Maintenance cost

Due to the unique screening method of the banana screen, the maintenance of the screen is more complicated and needs to be cleaned and replaced regularly. The screen of the linear screen is relatively simple and easy to clean and replace.

4. Structural design

The banana screen uses graded and segmented sloped screen plates. The slope interval between the screen plates is changed by increasing the number of graded levels. To reduce the wear of the screen plates during screening, most of the banana screens currently used are divided into 4 angles. The entire screen surface is divided into five inclined surfaces for screening. The operation effect is satisfactory. The banana screen needs to be equipped with a variety of auxiliary equipment, such as cleaning devices, leveling devices, heating devices, etc. The linear screen is relatively simple, mainly including basic components such as vibrators, screens, and screen boxes.
