Abstract: In this paper, we simulated the Screen deck inclination and its effect on screening efficiency of a linear vibrating screen using the Discrete Element Method (DEM). The simulation carried out on Bulk flow Analysis Software. Vibration screen efficiency affected by different factors such as screen deck inclination, mesh size of screen, Amplitude of vibration, feed rate of material etc. In this study we considered effect of deck slope inclination on screening efficiency of vibration screen. The screen considered for study work is vibratory screen handling granular dry solid material. Simulation carried out on Bulk Flow Analysis software which give flow of particle on vibratory screen as well particle velocity at different time interval. The output particle amount is calculated and relation between efficiency and screen inclination angle is plotted. It is found that screening efficiency increases with increase in screen deck slope.
