McLanahan Inclined Screens

McLanahan Inclined Screens

High-Capacity Screening for Mining, Aggregates and Mineral Processing

McLanahan Inclined Screens are robust, high-capacity screening machines designed to efficiently separate bulk materials according to particle size.

The inclined design uses gravity together with controlled vibration to move material across the screening surface, allowing undersized material to pass through the screen openings while larger particles continue toward the discharge end.

Inclined Screens are widely used in crushing and screening plants, aggregate operations, quarries and mineral processing applications where reliable sizing, high capacity and efficient separation are required.

How McLanahan Inclined Screens Work

Material is fed onto the upper section of the inclined screening surface.

The screen vibrates at a controlled motion, causing the material to stratify and travel downward along the inclined deck.

As the material moves across the screening surface, smaller particles pass through the openings in the screening media, while larger particles remain on the surface and continue toward the discharge end.

The inclination of the screen assists material movement and allows the screen to process high volumes of material efficiently.

Efficient Particle Size Separation

The main function of an Inclined Screen is to classify material according to particle size.

As material travels across the screen:

• Fine material passes through the screening media.

• Correctly sized material can be collected as a product.

• Oversized material continues toward the end of the screen for further processing or discharge.

The screen can be configured with one or multiple decks depending on the number of product sizes required.

High-Capacity Screening

Inclined Screens are well suited for applications requiring high material throughput.

The combination of screen inclination and vibration promotes rapid material movement across the screening surface and allows large quantities of material to be processed.

Screen size, deck configuration, screening media and operating parameters are selected according to the required capacity and separation sizes.

Multi-Deck Screening

McLanahan Inclined Screens can be configured with multiple screening decks to produce several product sizes from a single feed stream.

Each deck can use a different screening opening.

A multi-deck screen can therefore separate material into several fractions, such as:

• Fine material

• Intermediate-size material

• Coarse material

• Oversize material

This makes Inclined Screens suitable for multi-product aggregate and mineral processing plants.

Screening Media

The screening media is selected according to the material characteristics and required separation.

Factors considered when selecting screening media include:

• Required cut size

• Feed size

• Material abrasiveness

• Moisture content

• Material characteristics

• Required capacity

• Product specifications

The correct screening media can improve screening efficiency, product quality and service life.

Scalping and Sizing Applications

Depending on the configuration, Inclined Screens can be used for different stages of material processing, including:

Scalping: Removing unwanted fines or coarse material from the feed.

Sizing: Separating material into specific particle size ranges.

Final Screening: Producing finished products that meet specified size requirements.

The appropriate screen configuration depends on the feed material, capacity and required products.
