Abstract: We present a numerical study of sieving behavior on industrial sieves, composed of several vibrating screens, a process widely used in diverse industries. The modeling approach is twofold: on the one hand, particle flow is modeled in some detail by means of a discrete element model (DEM). This allows studying the influence of various parameters on the behavior of individual particles, particularly transport velocities and collision rates. Computational complexity however forbids the simulation of an entire sieve as a DEM. Instead, the overall sieving behavior is modeled separately by means of a more phenomenological model, the so called thick layer model (TLM), which is based on mass-balance equations, that translate into an ordinary differential equation. The TLM obtains its most crucial input parameters as results of the DEM. Comparison of simulation results with measurements shows, that this combined approach is capable of accurately describing the sieving process at a reasonable computational cost.
