Abstract: High-frequency vibrating screen plays an important role in coal preparation industry. The paper presents a general overview of the classification of such screens and the principal technological processes applied, as well as the present status of the development of the screens abroad. Following an introduction to the structural and performance characteristics of the high-frequency vibrating screens in common use in foreign countries, the author makes an analysis of the state-of-the-art of the domestic counterparts from the perspectives of developing trend, technological and application reaearch, and structural features. Finally, the direction of the key research work on such screens in the future in China is pointed out, which may serve as a reference for the healthy and rapid development of the high-frequency vibrating screen manufacturing sectors.
