Efficient Slurry Dewatering for Mining, Sand and Tailings
Lipu Dewatering Screens remove water from slurry and fine materials for tailings, sand recovery, coal slurry, and mineral processing. Dual-motor vibration delivers efficient dewatering and a drier discharge.
Capacity: 5–250 TPH
Feed Size: <10 mm
Screen Area: 1.6–10.8 m²
Application: Tailings, sand, coal slurry, mineral concentrates and industrial slurry
A dewatering screen is a vibrating screening machine used to separate water from fine solids. Wet material is fed onto the inclined screen surface, where vibration conveys solids toward the discharge end while water passes through the screen openings.
It is widely used where lower moisture content, improved material recovery, or efficient slurry handling is required. Typical applications include mineral-processing tailings, washed sand, coal slurry, quartz sand, ceramic slurry, and fine aggregate.
How Does a Dewatering Screen Work?
The screen is driven by two vibration motors operating in synchronized opposite rotation. Their combined force creates linear vibration, moving material along the inclined screen deck.
Slurry or wet material enters the feed box and is distributed across the screen surface.
Vibration stratifies the material and transports solids toward the discharge end.
Free water and undersize particles pass through the screen media.
Retained solids form a compact material bed and discharge with reduced moisture.
The screen angle, vibration amplitude, frequency, and screen opening can be selected according to material characteristics and required dewatering performance.
Key Features
High Dewatering Efficiency
High-frequency linear vibration helps release free water quickly and improves solid-liquid separation.
Drier Discharge Material
The inclined screen surface promotes drainage and produces a more manageable solid product for stockpiling, transport, or further processing.
Stable Large-Capacity Operation
The rigid frame and dual-motor drive support continuous processing of high-flow slurry and fine materials.
Wear-Resistant Design
Screen media and contact surfaces can be selected for abrasive materials to reduce wear and extend service life.
Flexible Screen Media Selection
Polyurethane, rubber, wedge-wire, or other suitable screen panels can be configured according to particle size, abrasion level, and dewatering target.
Easy Maintenance
Modular screen panels and accessible drive components simplify routine inspection and replacement.

FAQ
What is the main purpose of a dewatering screen?
It removes free water from slurry and wet fine materials, producing a drier solid discharge.
Can a dewatering screen recover fine sand?
Yes. It is commonly used in sand washing and sand recovery systems to retain fine particles while removing excess water.
What screen media is suitable for abrasive materials?
Polyurethane and rubber screen panels are commonly selected for abrasive mineral sands and tailings because of their wear resistance.
Can the machine handle tailings slurry?
Yes. Dewatering screens are widely used for tailings dewatering and water recovery in mineral-processing plants.
How do I select the right model?
Please provide material type, feed size, slurry concentration, required capacity, and target moisture content. Lipu will recommend a suitable configuration.
