Determining the appropriate mesh size for your screening needs involves a few critical considerations:

DZSF-625-2 1.4

Know the properties of the material you are screening, including particle size distribution, shape, density, and moisture content.


  1. Particle Size Requirement: Understand the desired particle size for your end product. The mesh size should be chosen to allow only particles of the desired size to pass through.

  2. Material Properties:

          Shape: Irregularly shaped particles may behave differently on a screen compared to spherical ones.

          Friability: Some materials may break down into finer particles during the screening process, which could affect the mesh size selection.

  3. Screening Objective: Define whether you need to separate different sizes of particles or remove only oversize particles from a mixture.

  4. Throughput Rate: The mesh size can affect the flow rate of material through the screen. Finer meshes may slow down the process, so you need to balance the required separation with the throughput rate.

  5. Clogging Potential: Finer meshes are more prone to clogging, especially with sticky or moist materials. Consider the ease of cleaning and the potential for clogging when choosing a mesh size.

  6. Screening Efficiency: The mesh size should be chosen to ensure efficient separation without causing excessive wear on the screen or reducing the machine's overall performance.

  7. Material Handling: Consider how the material is loaded onto the screen and how it will be removed after screening. Larger particles may require a larger mesh size to prevent bridging or plugging.

  8. Regulations and Standards: If your industry has specific standards for particle size, make sure the mesh size you choose meets these requirements.

  9. Previous Experience: If you have previously screened similar materials, use that experience to guide your mesh size selection.

  10. Trial and Error: Sometimes, the best way to determine the right mesh size is through testing with different mesh sizes to see which one provides the best results for your specific application.

  11. Manufacturer Recommendations: Consult with the screening equipment manufacturer for guidance on mesh size selection based on their experience with similar applications.

  12. Mesh Opening Size: Mesh size is often referred to as the "opening size" or "aperture size," which is the size of the holes in the mesh. Ensure that this aligns with the particle size you want to allow through.

  13. Multiple Mesh Sizes: In some cases, using multiple mesh sizes in a single machine can help achieve a more refined separation of particles.


By taking these factors into account, you can select a mesh size that will effectively meet your screening needs while maintaining high efficiency and minimizing issues like clogging or excessive wear.
