Designed for large material volumes and consistent screening performance.
Changing deck angles support stratification and efficient separation.
Manufactured in Western Australia for demanding mineral processing duties.
Oreflow supplies banana screens for high-capacity screening duties across mining, mineral processing and bulk material handling applications.
Banana screens, also known as multi-slope screens, use a series of deck angles that gradually reduce from the feed end to the discharge end. This design helps move material quickly at the feed end, thin the material bed and improve stratification across the screening surface.
They are commonly used in processing circuits where throughput, separation efficiency and reliable operation are critical. Oreflow banana screens can be configured around the duty of the application, including feed conditions, material characteristics, screen media selection, deck arrangement, support structure and maintenance access.
Oreflow banana screens are commonly used where high throughput and efficient separation are required within a mining or mineral processing circuit.
Common applications include:
These applications are often found in operations processing large volumes of material where consistent screening performance, practical maintenance access and long-term reliability are important.
A banana screen uses vibration and a multi-slope deck profile to separate material by size.
At the feed end, the steeper deck angle helps move material quickly and reduce the depth of the material bed. As material travels along the screen, the deck angle becomes shallower, giving near-size particles more opportunity to pass through the screen media.
This changing deck profile helps improve the use of the available screening surface. It also supports efficient stratification, where smaller particles move through the material bed and pass through the screen media while oversize material continues toward the discharge end.
Banana screens are often selected for high-capacity duties where a conventional screen may require more screening area or may not provide the required throughput within the available footprint.
Banana screens and inclined screens both use deck angle to assist material movement, but they are typically selected for different screening requirements.
Screen Type | Best Suited For | Key Consideration |
Banana Screens | High-capacity sizing, classification and screening duties where throughput is a major requirement | Uses a multi-slope deck profile to improve material stratification and screen utilisation |
Inclined Screens | General sizing, scalping and separation duties where gravity-assisted material movement is beneficial | Uses a single inclined deck angle and is suitable across a broad range of screening applications |
Oreflow manufactures banana screens in Western Australia for mining, mineral processing and bulk material handling applications.
With more than 1,200 pieces of equipment supplied across 20+ countries, our team understands the importance of reliable equipment, practical maintenance access and long-term support.
From initial selection through to manufacturing and after-sales support, Oreflow works with site requirements in mind, including practical maintenance access, spare parts and long-term equipment support.
Every Oreflow inclined screen is specified around the operating requirements of the site. During the design process, factors such as throughput, material characteristics, deck angle, screen media selection and plant layout are considered to help determine the most suitable configuration.

Oreflow banana screens can be manufactured in custom sizes and configurations depending on the duty, process requirements and site layout.
Providing a few key details early in the enquiry process helps our team assess the application and recommend the most suitable screen configuration.
To help specify the right banana screen, we may ask for:
This information helps us understand the screening duty and assess whether a banana screen is the right option for the process.
A banana screen is a vibrating screen that uses a multi-slope deck profile to separate material by size. The deck angle is generally steeper at the feed end and becomes shallower toward the discharge end.
It is commonly called a banana screen because the multi-slope deck profile creates a curved or segmented shape that resembles a banana.
Banana screens are commonly used for high-capacity sizing, classification, scalping and separation duties in mining, mineral processing and bulk material handling applications.
The main advantage of a banana screen is its ability to process high volumes of material while making effective use of the screening surface. The multi-slope deck helps thin the material bed, improve stratification and support efficient separation.
A banana screen uses multiple deck angles that gradually change from the feed end to the discharge end. An inclined screen typically uses a single inclined deck angle. Banana screens are often selected for higher-capacity duties, while inclined screens are suitable for a broader range of general screening applications.
