What is a screener?

A screener is a machine used to separate materials, such as sand, gravel, crushed stone, and other aggregates, by size. Screeners use a vibrating motion to sift materials through various screen sizes, allowing smaller particles to pass through while larger materials remain on top. This process is crucial in ensuring that aggregates are sorted accurately for different applications, such as construction, road building, and concrete production. Screeners play a vital role in improving the quality and consistency of the final product.
