McLanahan Horizontal Screens

McLanahan Horizontal Screens

Efficient Horizontal Screening for Mining, Aggregates and Mineral Processing

McLanahan Horizontal Screens are high-performance screening machines designed to efficiently separate bulk materials into different size fractions.

Their horizontal screening design provides effective material stratification and separation while allowing the screen to be integrated into a wide range of crushing, screening and mineral processing circuits.

Horizontal Screens are suitable for applications where accurate sizing, high capacity and efficient material separation are required.

They can be used for primary, secondary and final screening applications depending on the screen configuration, media selection and application requirements.

How McLanahan Horizontal Screens Work

Material is fed onto the screening surface and distributed across the width of the screen.

The screen deck moves in a controlled horizontal motion, causing the material to travel across the screening surface.

As the material moves along the screen, particles smaller than the selected screen openings pass through the screening media, while larger particles continue toward the discharge end.

The combination of horizontal movement and controlled vibration promotes separation and efficient utilization of the screening surface.

Multiple screening decks can be used to produce several size fractions from a single feed stream.

Efficient Material Separation

The primary function of a Horizontal Screen is to separate material according to particle size.

As material passes across the screen:

• Fine material passes through the screening media.

• Oversized material remains on the screen surface and continues toward the discharge.

• Multiple decks can produce several product sizes simultaneously.

The resulting product fractions can then be directed to different conveyors, stockpiles or processing stages.

High-Capacity Screening

Horizontal Screens can provide high screening capacity while maintaining effective separation.

The screen dimensions, deck configuration, screening media and operating parameters are selected according to the feed rate, material characteristics and required product sizes.

Proper feed distribution across the full width of the screen is important for maximizing screening efficiency and maintaining consistent performance.

Screening Media

Horizontal Screens can be equipped with different types of screening media depending on the application.

The appropriate media is selected according to:

• Required separation size

• Material characteristics

• Abrasiveness

• Moisture content

• Feed size

• Required capacity

Different media configurations can be used to achieve the required screening performance and product specifications.

Multiple Screening Decks

Horizontal Screens can be configured with multiple screening decks.

Each deck can have a different opening size, allowing the machine to separate the feed into multiple size fractions.

For example, a multi-deck screen can simultaneously produce:

• Fine material

• Intermediate-size material

• Oversize material

This makes Horizontal Screens suitable for multi-product crushing and screening plants.

Handling Wet and Difficult Materials

Screening performance is affected by material moisture, clay content, particle shape and other characteristics.

Depending on the application and screening media selected, Horizontal Screens can be configured to handle a wide range of materials.

Proper selection of screening media and operating parameters is particularly important when processing wet, sticky or difficult-to-screen materials.
