C. VIBRATING SCREENS Rule of Thumb: for self-cleaning screen use a vibrator with a centrifugal force (impact) four (4) times the weight of the material plus the weight of the screen. NOTE: Coarse and lumpy materials respond best to 3600 VPM (vibrations per minute), powdery and dry materials, 1800 VPM, sticky and wet materials, over 3600 VPM.
