Differences and commonalities between drum screener machine and vibration screener machine

2025/07/10
In the screening process of fertilizer production, drum screener machine and vibration screener machine are the two main equipments. They have their own specialties and complement each other. Choosing the appropriate equipment can make the fertilizer particle precision rise to a higher level.
Difference: The drum screener machine rotates the drum body to allow the material to pass through the screens of different apertures under the action of gravity to complete the classification, just like "rotary screening"; the vibration screener machine relies on the high-frequency vibration generated by the exciter to make the material jump and layer on the screen surface to achieve rapid separation, which can be called "vibration sorting".
Drum screener machine is suitable for processing fertilizers with high water content and easy to agglomerate (such as wet particles just granulated), and it is not easy to clog the screen; the vibration screener machine is better at screening dry and fluid particles (such as finished organic fertilizer), with higher screening efficiency and precision up to 0.1mm level.
Processing capacity: The drum screener machine can produce up to 20 tons per hour, which is suitable for large-scale production lines; the vibration screener machine is highly flexible, and small equipment can meet small and medium-sized batch production, and it occupies a smaller area.
Commonality: Both can accurately control the particle size, remove impurities and unqualified particles, and ensure the uniformity of fertilizer products; both can replace screens with different apertures according to needs, and adapt to the production of fertilizers of various specifications; and the equipment has a sturdy structure, and the wear-resistant parts are made of special materials, which can adapt to the dust environment in fertilizer production and extend the service life.
Our drum screener machine and vibrating screener machine not only retain their respective advantages, but also achieve breakthroughs in intelligent control - the production line can be linked to automatically adjust the speed or amplitude to reduce manual intervention. Whether you are a large-scale organic fertilizer production line or a refined biological organic fertilizer processing, we can find suitable screening equipment for you. Let the screening link become a plus point to improve the quality of fertilizers!
