Vibrating flip-flow screens provide an effective solution for the screening of highly viscous or fine materials. Apart from other factors, the vibration characteristics of the main and floating screen frames are largely responsible for the flip-flow screen’s sifting performance and its processing capacity. In this paper, the vibration characteristics of a vibrating flip-flow screen with linear and nonlinear springs are compared. Analytical results highlight that increasing the relative amplitude and avoiding undesirable resonances of the main and the floating screen frames can be realised to improve the screen’s performance. The materials on the screen panel have less an effect on the vibration characteristics of the vibrating flip-flow screen with nonlinear springs than using linear springs. Other design parameters which influence the performance of vibrating flip-flow screens are discussed.
