DESCRIPTION

Software developed for industrial single or double deck vibrating screens. The simulator includes partition functions with adjustable parameters to predict particle size distributions (PSDs) and flowrates of the output streams as a function of the feed, operating conditions and screen design parameters.

APPLICATIONS

Design or simulation of screens of different industries | Separation efficiency evaluation | Training tool | Suitable to perform sensitivity and optimization analyses

ADVANTAGES

• Easily adaptable to different aplications by fitting few parameters
• Tracks mass flowrates and PSDs of the exit solid streams
• Can be used either isolated or integrated in a process involving other solid unit operations
• Drag-and-drop user interphase

DEVELOPMENT STATUS

Full version available. Successful validation against experimental data from a large-scale industrial screen.
