This method is based on a large, rotating drum with screening surfaces to separate materials of different sizes. The drum screening process starts when the material is fed into the drum, where it moves forward as the drum rotates. The combined effect of rotation and gravity causes the material to move along the drum, causing the smaller particles to sieve through the screening mesh while the larger particles continue their journey to the end of the drum. This method is designed to effectively separate materials of different sizes, improving the efficiency and quality of production processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/kopar.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/rumpuseula_tyhja-tausta-2-1-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8763\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kopar.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/rumpuseula_tyhja-tausta-2-1-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/kopar.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/rumpuseula_tyhja-tausta-2-1-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/kopar.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/rumpuseula_tyhja-tausta-2-1-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/kopar.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/rumpuseula_tyhja-tausta-2-1-1536x1025.png 1536w, https:\/\/kopar.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/rumpuseula_tyhja-tausta-2-1-18x12.png 18w, https:\/\/kopar.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/rumpuseula_tyhja-tausta-2-1-600x400.png 600w, https:\/\/kopar.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/rumpuseula_tyhja-tausta-2-1.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How is drum screening different from other screening methods?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Drum screening differs from other screening methods, such as vibration screening, in several ways. One important difference is that drum screening uses a rotary motion, whereas vibratory screens use a strong vibration, a linear motion, to separate the material. A special feature of the Kopar drum screen is the separation of 3 fractions at the same time, dust is also extracted from the feed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The advantage of drum screening is its ability to handle larger material streams in a continuous process, making it an excellent choice for industrial applications where high capacity and reliability are required. The simple design and low maintenance requirements of drum screening also make it a fail-safe solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n        <div\n            class=\"seoaic-multistep-form\"\n            data-prefix=\"seoaic_ms_6a176f738759b_\"\n            data-redirecturl=\"\"\n        >\n            <div class=\"seoaic-ms-chat-header\">\n                <div class=\"seoaic-ms-chat-header-icon-wrapper\">\n                    <div class=\"seoaic-ms-chat-header-icon\"><\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                                <div class=\"seoaic-ms-close-wrapper\">\n                    <span class=\"seoaic-ms-close dashicons dashicons-no-alt\" title=\"Close form\"><\/span>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"seoaic-ms-closed-msg-wrapper seoaic-ms-open-click\" title=\"Open lead form\">\n                                    <div class=\"seoaic-ms-closed-msg-container\">\n                        <div class=\"seoaic-ms-closed-msg\">\n                            <div class=\"seoaic-ms-chat-icon\"><\/div>\n                            <div class=\"seoaic-ms-chat-content\">\n                                                                    <div class=\"seoaic-ms-closed-msg-title-wrapper\">\n                                        <span class=\"seoaic-ms-closed-msg-title\">Hi, how are you doing?<\/span>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                                                        <div class=\"seoaic-ms-closed-msg-text-wrapper\">\n                                        <span class=\"seoaic-ms-closed-msg-text\">Can I ask you something?<\/span>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                                                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"seoaic-ms-closed-msg-close-wrapper\">\n                                <span class=\"seoaic-ms-closed-msg-close-icon dashicons dashicons-no-alt\" title=\"Close\"><\/span>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"seoaic-ms-clised-msg-connector\"><\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"seoaic-ms-open seoaic-ms-open-click\" title=\"Open lead form\">\n                    <span class=\"dashicons dashicons-testimonial\"><\/span>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"seoaic-ms-steps-wrapper\">\n                <div class=\"seoaic-ms-steps\">\n                                            <div\n                            class=\"seoaic-ms-step\"\n                            id=\"seoaic_ms_6a176f738759b_#1\"\n                            data-type=\"single\"\n                            data-autostep=\"\"\n                        >\n                            <div class=\"seoaic-ms-bot-icon\"><\/div>\n                            <div class=\"seoaic-ms-step-question-wrapper\">\n                                <div class=\"seoaic-ms-step-question\" data-origquestion=\"Hei!

Firstly, its efficiency is remarkable, as it can handle large volumes of material without significant interruptions. This results in high productivity and cost-effectiveness, as the simple design of drum screens reduces the need for maintenance and repairs. In addition, drum screening is highly accurate, allowing precise separation of particles of different sizes, even when the feed particle size is variable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to use other screening methods?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although drum screening offers many advantages, there are situations where other screening methods may be better. For example, in situations where the amount of material to be processed is very large, large drum screens may offer better results. Vibrating screens are also effective when the process requires rapid throughput of material. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical examples of drum screening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Drum screening has been used successfully in a wide range of industries, highlighting its versatility and effectiveness. More typically, drum screens are used in power plants as part of the slag recycling process. They work very well there, separating three different fractions in a single screening operation. The removal of dust from the material stream is particularly useful, as dust-free sand improves the efficiency of the combustion process.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/kopar.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/img_3520-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10535\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kopar.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/img_3520-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/kopar.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/img_3520-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/kopar.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/img_3520-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/kopar.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/img_3520-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/kopar.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/img_3520-16x12.jpeg 16w, https:\/\/kopar.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/img_3520.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Environmental impact and sustainable development perspective<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Environmental impact is an important aspect when considering drum screening and its role in industrial processes. Among other things, drum screening can be used to increase the efficiency of the combustion process in power plants, thereby increasing the overall efficiency of the power plant and reducing the use of virgin sand as a boiler bedding material. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sustainability is an essential part of modern industry, and drum screening can contribute significantly to this goal. It can help achieve high quality production with a lower environmental impact, which is important for both companies and the environment. Such an innovative approach will help industry move towards more environmentally friendly practices, which is vital for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/kopar.fi\/en\/classification-storage\/drum-screens\/\">Read more<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is drum screening? Drum screening is one of the most important screening methods in industry, especially when large quantities of bulk materials are handled. This method is based on a large, rotating drum with screening surfaces to separate materials of different sizes. The drum screening process starts when the material is fed into the drum, where it moves forward as the drum rotates.
