Validate screening performance without shutting down

Screening AssetHealth is our onsite diagnostic service that analyses screen performance, identifies potential issues early, and delivers actionable insights to protect availability and optimise efficiency. Using the portable Screen Motion Analyser (SMA), FLS screening experts assess vibration, stroke, frequency, acceleration, and lateral displacement during regular operation—providing same-day clarity on how well each screen is performing and where interventions will deliver the most impact. 

The service flags risks before they become failures: misalignment, exciter degradation, incorrect motion profiles, and wear patterns that threaten component life or compromise cut-size accuracy. With a clear action plan in hand, operators can schedule maintenance during planned outages, avoid costly unplanned stoppages, and extend the working life of critical assets. 

Screening AssetHealth integrates seamlessly with FLS online condition monitoring, enabling trend analysis over time and continuous improvement cycles. Whether you're benchmarking existing screens, validating the impact of upgrades, or commissioning new installations, regular Screen AssetHealth assessments keep screening efficiency high and total cost per tonne low.

Frequently asked questions

FAQs for screening equipment

Screens are essential tools in mining and mineral processing operations. They are used in a wide range of applications, including the classification of materials based on particle size and shape, the separation of feed into valuable and waste material streams, or the removal of excess moisture (dewatering). They thus have a critical role in supporting the efficiency and productivity of downstream processing operations.

Several types of screens are used in mining operations, undertaking a range of tasks. Some of most prevalent include vibrating (grizzly) screens, dewatering screens, linear-motion screens, multi-slope screens, horizontal screens, trash screens, and circular- and elliptical-motion screens.

Screen selection should consider factors such as material characteristics, desired output, screening type and area, deck configuration, maintenance, operating environment, cost and budget. Our screening experts will work with you to understand these factors to deliver the optimal screening solution for your application.

Crushing circuit screens prioritise high-capacity scalping and sizing to protect crusher utilisation and control recirculating load, typically using multi-slope BRX Series configurations. Grinding and classification screens focus on precise particle size separation at SAG discharge and mill circuits to reduce over-grinding and maintain energy efficiency, often in horizontal configurations. Each application demands different screen geometry, motion profiles, and media—FLS screening specialists will match the solution to your specific circuit requirements. 

FLS screens contribute to more sustainable operations through accurate sizing that reduces energy consumption in downstream comminution, maintenance friendly designs and and extended wear life minimise downtime and material consumption, while early water recovery that supports better water stewardship. Our Screening AssetHealth service and online condition monitoring also help optimise performance and reduce waste over the asset lifecycle, while our process experts support circuit designs for lower water and energy intensity from commissioning onward.
