Introduction
Grizzly screen is universal screen equipment with special screen surface. Grizzly Screens have been designed for
the toughest applications capable of high capacity and the ability to process coarse material. These screens have a
very robust design, which allow them to operate under tough conditions (primary or secondary). They particularly
perform very well when used to remove the fines between two crushing stages
Its biggest characteristic lies in its high screening efficiency, large relative processing capacity and not easy
to plug holes. Especially suitable for high moisture, viscous material screening.
Construction
A Grizzly is a grid of parallel metal bars set in an inclined metal frame.
A length of bar may be up to 3m and the spacing between the bar is 50 – 200 mm.
The bar is shaped in such a way such that its top is wider than its bottom.(used for very coarse feed)
Generally these parallel bars are made up of stainless steel to reduce wear and tear caused by coarse and heavy
feed.
The angle of inclination of these bars is 20-30(deg) generally or sometimes 35-45(degrees).
On increasing the angle of grizzly we can increase the capacity of screen but its efficiency decreases.(here
comes the problem of optimization)

Working
The feed is fed from the upper end of grizzly.
The coarse material slides on the inclined surface of the bars and
materials finer than the spacing between the bars falls through.
There is certain provision externally attached with the screening
equipment to provide certain motion to the screens so
that particle do not stay for a long time over certain location of
screen.(motion can be vibration, reciprocation etc.
What is the need of providing certain angle of inclination??
Advantages GRIZZLY Screen
1)The advantages of the grizzly screens are a simple structure, convenient maintenance,
high strength, impact resistance, wear resistance, low noise and so on.
2)A sophisticated construction combined with adequate operation parameters provides a
self cleaning of the screen gap.
3)easy maintain conception allowing a good accessibility to the drive, the screen deck
beams, wear plates and fixing
4)Undisturbed operation by means of elastic and single clamped tensioned.
5)Minimized wear due to the insertion of wear-resistant material
Applications
It is widely used in the coal mine, chemical industry, metallurgy. electric
power, building materials, and other industries that the medium-sized
granular material classification.
Characteristics
Its biggest characteristic lies in its high screening efficiency, large relative
processing capacity and not easy to plug holes. Especially suitable for high
moisture, viscous material screening.
