THE CRONUS BACKBONE
A 50+ year manufacturing lineage behind every screen.
Shanghai Cronus Machinery Co., Ltd. is the overseas-facing subsidiary and project brand of Guilin Mining Machinery, a manufacturer founded in 1973. The group combines long-cycle equipment manufacturing experience with a practical export team for mineral processing projects.
From engineering review to commissioning, Cronus keeps the conversation close to the plant floor: real photos, traceable parts, clear duty assumptions and support that continues after delivery.

THE PRODUCT
Vibrating dewatering screen for cleaner, drier discharge.
A dewatering screen separates free water from washed solids by combining an inclined screen deck, controlled vibration and drainage-friendly residence time. The result is a transportable product with less water carried into stockpiles and conveyors.
DRAINAGECONVEYINGWASHING CIRCUITS
How the screen works
01Feed distributionSlurry enters across the deck so the bed stays even and the drainage area is used efficiently.
02Vibration + uphill conveyingTwin exciters generate a controlled linear motion that lifts water through the media while moving solids forward.
03Water drains, solids dischargeFree water reports to the collection zone; dewatered material leaves through the discharge lip for stockpiling or conveying.
Need a target moisture or capacity? Send your feed data and we will select deck angle, media and drive duty around it.
WHY CRONUS
Built to stay predictable when the feed is not.
Mineral plants change by the hour. The screen’s job is to create a stable hand-off between washing, recovery and stockpiling.
Rigid, serviceable frame
Bolted side plates, reinforced members and a practical access layout make inspections easier and limit unplanned downtime.
Oil-lubricated exciters
The supplied configuration uses twin oil-lubricated exciters for stable force transmission and planned maintenance.
Media matched to the duty
Polyurethane, rubber or woven media can be selected around aperture, abrasion, blinding and drainage behavior.
Application engineering
We check feed gradation, density, moisture, footprint and downstream constraints before freezing the design.
APPLICATIONS & MATERIALS
One screen, many wet-process hand-offs.
Use the dewatering screen after washing, classification or sand recovery to improve stockpile handling and reduce water carried downstream.
Manufactured sand
Drain fine sand after washing so finished sand is easier to handle and load.
Common duty · sand plantsAggregates
Separate free water from crushed limestone, granite and construction aggregate.
Common duty · quarry plantsCoal & fines
Support dewatering of washed coal, fine coal and other combustible mineral fractions.
Common duty · coal prepOre & tailings

Ask a technical question →What does a mining dewatering screen do?+
It uses high-frequency vibration and an inclined screen deck to drain free water from washed sand, aggregates or mineral slurry while conveying solids forward.
Can the screen be customized?+
Yes. Cronus sizes the deck, screen media, spray arrangement, exciters and support structure around feed gradation, moisture and required capacity.
What materials can it process?+
Typical duties include manufactured sand, silica sand, river sand, limestone, granite, coal fines, iron ore and tailings after washing or classification.
What is the supplied drive configuration?+
The supplied build sheet lists two oil-lubricated exciters and two 18.5 kW, 6-pole motors. Final motor selection is confirmed against the project duty.
How do I choose screen media?+
Choose polyurethane, rubber or woven media according to aperture, abrasion, blinding risk and target residual moisture.
Does Cronus provide installation support?+
Cronus can provide layout review, foundation and piping guidance, commissioning support, operator training and spare-parts planning.
How is the screen different from a conventional sizing screen?+
A dewatering screen is configured for drainage and solids conveyance, commonly with an uphill deck angle and dedicated spray and discharge arrangement.
What is the typical residual moisture?+
Residual moisture depends on feed gradation, clay content, screen aperture, residence time and upstream washing. Cronus confirms a target after reviewing samples and test data.
Can it work in a closed-loop sand plant?+
Yes. The screen can be integrated with hydrocyclones, slurry pumps, de-sliming screens, sand recovery units and water-recycling systems.
Which spare parts should be stocked?+
Common stock items include screen panels, clamp bars, rubber springs, exciter seals, bearings, oil, fasteners, spray nozzles and motor couplings.
How can I request a quotation?+
Send feed size, moisture, slurry density, capacity, material, available footprint and photos or test data through the enquiry form or WhatsApp.
