What is a Tracked Mobile Screen?

A Tracked Mobile Screen, also known as a tracked mobile screening plant, is a versatile piece of equipment used in the construction, mining, and recycling industries. It is designed to sort and separate different sizes of materials such as soil, sand, gravel, and demolition waste. The machine is mounted on tracks, which allows it to be highly mobile and capable of operating on various terrains, including rough and uneven surfaces.

What is it used for?

Tracked Mobile Screens are primarily used for screening and classifying materials. They are essential in processes where materials need to be sorted by size before further processing or disposal. Common applications include:

  • Construction Sites: Sorting and recycling construction debris.

  • Mining Operations: Separating valuable minerals from waste rock.

  • Recycling Facilities: Sorting recyclable materials like concrete, asphalt, and metal.

  • Landscaping: Screening soil and compost for quality control.

How does it work?

The Tracked Mobile Screen operates by feeding raw materials onto a vibrating screen or a series of screens. These screens have different-sized meshes or grids that allow smaller particles to pass through while retaining larger ones. The machine typically consists of the following components:

  1. Feeder: A conveyor or hopper that feeds the material onto the screen.

  2. Screen Deck: The vibrating screen(s) that sort the materials by size.

  3. Conveyors: Belts that transport the sorted materials to different locations.

  4. Engine: Powers the entire system, often diesel-powered for mobility.

  5. Tracks: Provide mobility and stability on uneven terrain.

The material is fed into the machine, and as it moves across the vibrating screens, it is separated into different sizes. The sorted materials are then conveyed to designated areas for further processing or disposal.
