Table salt is being fed to a vibrating screen at the rate of 3000 kg/hr. The
desired product is the 48/65 mesh fraction. A -48 + 65-mesh screen are
therefore used, the feed being introduced on the 48 mesh screen, the
product being discharged from the 65-mesh screen. During the
operation it was observed that the average proportion of the oversize:
product: undersize was 2:1 ½:1. Calculate the effectiveness of the
screens. What conclusions can you draw from the values computed
versus the given proportion?
