ABSTRACT
This paper presents the results of considerations concerning the ratio of blocking of screen holes and the importance of particular independent variables affecting the process of blocking of sieve holes. The phenomenon of blocking the holes is unfavorable since it reduces the flow area of the lower size fraction through a sieve under scrutiny. The study was conducted, using laboratory sieves. Fine-grained materials: sand (loose sedimentary rock of irregular form) and agalite (spherical mineral) were applied as investigated mineral media.
