Helps remove excess water before downstream handling.
Supports process water recovery from washed or slurry-based material.
Manufactured in Western Australia for demanding mineral processing duties.
Oreflow supplies dewatering screens for mining, mineral processing and bulk material handling applications where moisture reduction and water recovery are required.
Dewatering screens are commonly used after washing, screening, classification or slurry handling processes to separate water from solid material. They help produce a drier discharge, recover process water and improve the handling characteristics of the final product.
Each Oreflow dewatering screen can be specified around the material being processed, moisture content, throughput, screen media selection, feed arrangement, discharge layout, support structure and site requirements.
Oreflow dewatering screens are commonly used where wet material needs to be drained, recovered or prepared for downstream handling.
Common applications include:
These applications are often found in operations where reducing excess moisture can improve material handling, support water recovery and reduce the load on downstream equipment.
A dewatering screen uses vibration, screen media and deck angle to separate water from solid material.
Wet material is fed onto the screen surface, where vibration helps water pass through the screen media while the solids move toward the discharge end. The screen is generally arranged to retain material on the deck long enough for water to drain while still allowing the solids to discharge efficiently.
In many applications, dewatering screens are used after washing, classification or slurry handling processes. They can help recover valuable fine material, reduce excess moisture and return process water back into the circuit where suitable.
The right dewatering screen depends on the material type, feed conditions, moisture content, required throughput and the level of moisture reduction needed for downstream handling.
Oreflow dewatering screens are manufactured for applications where wet material needs to be drained, recovered or prepared for downstream handling.
The objective is to provide a screen configuration that supports moisture reduction, process water recovery and practical operation in wet screening or slurry-based duties.
Dewatering screens and standard vibrating screens can both form part of a screening circuit, but they are designed around different primary outcomes.
Screen Type | Best Suited For | Key Consideration |
Dewatering Screens | Moisture reduction, water recovery, fines recovery and wet material handling applications | Designed to separate water from solids and produce a drier discharge |
Standard Vibrating Screens | Sizing, classification, scalping and general separation duties | Designed primarily to separate material by size across one or more screening decks |
Oreflow manufactures dewatering 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 equipment selection through to manufacturing, spare parts and ongoing support, Oreflow works with site requirements in mind so the screen can be integrated effectively into the process.
Every Oreflow dewatering screen is selected around the operating requirements of the site. During the design process, factors such as material type, feed conditions, moisture content, screen media selection and plant layout are considered to help determine the most suitable configuration.

Oreflow dewatering screens can be manufactured in custom sizes and configurations depending on the duty, material characteristics, 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.

This information helps us understand the dewatering duty and assess the screen configuration required for the process.
A dewatering screen is a vibrating screen designed to remove excess water from wet material. It uses vibration and screen media to separate water from solids and produce a drier discharge.
Dewatering screens are commonly used for product dewatering, fines recovery, tailings dewatering, sand and aggregate dewatering, wet screening circuits and water recovery applications.
Wet material is fed onto the screen surface. Vibration helps water pass through the screen media while the solid material travels toward the discharge end. This helps reduce excess moisture and improve material handling.
A dewatering screen is designed primarily to remove water from material. A standard vibrating screen is designed primarily to separate material by size. Both may be used within a screening circuit, but they solve different process requirements.
Yes. Dewatering screens can be used in fines recovery applications where valuable fine material needs to be retained while excess water is removed from the process stream.
Yes. Dewatering screens can be used in tailings and wet material handling applications depending on the material characteristics, process requirements and site layout.
Yes. Oreflow can configure dewatering screens around the required throughput, material type, moisture content, screen media, feed arrangement, discharge layout, water handling requirements and site conditions.
Yes. Oreflow manufactures dewatering screens in Western Australia for mining, mineral processing and bulk material handling applications.
Whether you need product dewatering, fines recovery, tailings dewatering or water recovery support, Oreflow can help configure a dewatering screen around your material, moisture content and process requirements.
