Earlier lamination of material increases the probability of finegrained material passing through the mesh .The screen has an appropriate throwing index and a little higher material delivery velocity in its middle part .This is of benefit for stabilizing finegrained materials and for perating uniformly along the screen length .A lower throwing index and material delivery velocity near the discharge end causes the material to stay longer on the screen and encourages more plete peration of the mesh. Two methods are currently used to improve screening efficiency [7– 8].The first is to add material to the screen from multiple feed ports. This is troublesome in practical use especially in terms of controlling the distribution of differently granulated materials .Hence it is rarely used in practical production. The second way is to adopt new screening equipment like, for example, a constant thickness screen. The motion of the new screen surface causes material to maintain the same, or an increased, thickness .It achieves a rather more ideal motion. The main problem with the constant thickness screen is that it covers a bigger area and that the structure is plicated and hard to maintain .A simple structure with good screening efficiency is still a necessity. We have designed a new vibration screen with a variable elliptical trace that is based upon an ideal screen motion for use in raw coal classification. The size of the vibrating screen is m m,the feed granularity is 0 to 50 mm and the classification granularity
