Scalping Screens
Australian made scalping screens designed to remove oversize material, prepare feed streams and support reliable operation across mining, mineral processing and bulk material handling applications.
Separates coarse or oversized material before downstream equipment.
Prepares feed for crushing, screening, conveying or further processing.
Manufactured in Western Australia for demanding mineral processing duties.
Oreflow supplies scalping screens for mining, mineral processing and bulk material handling applications where oversize removal and feed preparation are required.
Scalping screens are commonly used early in a process circuit to remove coarse material, protect downstream equipment and improve the consistency of the feed stream. They can be used before crushers, conveyors, secondary screens or other processing equipment where controlling the material entering the next stage is important.
Each Oreflow scalping screen can be specified around the duty of the application, including feed material, required separation size, throughput, screen media selection, deck profile, feed arrangement, discharge layout, support structure and maintenance access.
Oreflow scalping screens are commonly used where coarse material needs to be separated before further processing.
Common applications include:
These applications are often found in operations where reducing oversize carryover can help improve process flow, protect equipment and support more consistent downstream performance.
A scalping screen uses vibration and screen media to separate coarse or oversized material from the feed stream.
Material is fed onto the screen surface, where vibration helps move the feed across the deck. Smaller material passes through the screen media while oversize material continues toward the discharge end. This helps remove large or unwanted material before it reaches downstream equipment.
Scalping screens are often placed before crushers, conveyors or secondary screening equipment. By removing oversize material early, the screen can help reduce unnecessary load on downstream equipment and improve the consistency of material entering the next stage of the process.
The right scalping screen depends on the feed material, top size, required cut size, throughput, screen media, plant layout and downstream equipment requirements.
Oreflow scalping screens are manufactured for applications where coarse or oversized material needs to be removed before it reaches downstream equipment.
The objective is to provide a screen that supports feed preparation, protects downstream equipment and helps maintain consistent material flow through the process.
Scalping screens and grizzly feeders can both be used to manage coarse material, but they are generally selected for different duties within the process.
Screen Type | Best Suited For | Key Consideration |
Scalping Screens | Oversize removal, coarse material separation and feed preparation before downstream equipment | Designed primarily to screen and separate material by size |
Grizzly Feeders | Feeding large material while removing fines or undersize before crushing | Combines controlled feeding with heavy-duty grizzly separation |
Oreflow manufactures scalping 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 scalping screen is selected around the operating requirements of the site. During the design process, factors such as feed material, top size, required separation size, screen media selection and plant layout are considered to help determine the most suitable configuration.
Specification Area | Options / Considerations |
Screen Configuration | Scalping screen configuration selected around the required separation duty |
Screen size | Available in custom sizes to suit the required throughput, feed conditions and installation requirements |
Screening Duty | Oversize removal, primary screening, secondary screening or coarse material separation |
Applications | Crusher feed preparation, feed stream control, oversize removal or downstream equipment protection |
Screen Media | Selected to suit aperture size, wear conditions, impact load and separation requirements |
Deck Profile | Selected around material movement, feed conditions and the required scalping duty |
Feed Arrangement | Considered around feed conditions, flow rate, top size and material presentation |
Discharge Arrangement | Designed around oversize discharge, undersize flow and downstream equipment |
Support Structure | Can be considered as part of the screen package |
Spray Bars | Available where required for wet screening or washing duties |
Access Requirements | Considered to support inspection, servicing and maintenance |
Oreflow scalping 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 scalping duty and assess the screen configuration required for the process.
A scalping screen is a vibrating screen used to remove coarse or oversized material from a feed stream before further processing. It is commonly used before crushers, conveyors or secondary screening equipment.
Scalping screens are commonly used for oversize removal, crusher feed preparation, coarse material separation, primary screening, secondary screening and downstream equipment protection.
Material is fed onto the screen surface, where vibration moves the feed across the deck. Smaller material passes through the screen media while oversize material continues toward the discharge end.
A scalping screen is designed primarily to separate material by size. A grizzly feeder combines controlled feeding with heavy-duty grizzly separation, usually ahead of crushing equipment.
A scalping screen may be suitable when oversize material needs to be removed before it reaches downstream equipment, or when the feed stream needs to be controlled before crushing, conveying or further screening.
Yes. Scalping screens can be configured for wet or dry screening duties depending on the material, process requirements and screen media selection.
Yes. Oreflow can configure scalping screens around the required throughput, feed material, top size, separation size, screen media, feed arrangement, discharge layout, support structure and site requirements.
Yes. Oreflow manufactures scalping screens in Western Australia for mining, mineral processing and bulk material handling applications.
For applications where coarse material needs to be separated before crushing, conveying or further screening, Oreflow can help specify a scalping screen around your feed size, cut size, throughput and downstream equipment.
