This paper, dedicated to membrane screens with vibrating sieves, is one of the series prepared at the Technical University of Lodz. The membrane screens are the machines with a specific sieve motion, which is forced in points. Only the sieve in the form of a membrane stretched over an immobile riddle, vibrates. This sieve is characterized by a non-uniform distribution of amplitudes on the vibrating surface. This is a property that distinguishes these screens from other industrial screens. In connection with the above mentioned feature, the method of screening is not the same as in other screens. The present paper describes these differences and the methods of their characterization. Results of investigations on the screening efficiency depending on the process capacity are analyzed.
