The effects of roller inclination, reciprocating angle and reciprocating frequency on screening was analyzed when the roller was on reciprocating rotational movement. It was found that the ideal parameters of the roller were: 4-6° (inclination), 2-2.5 Hz (reciprocating frequency) and 60-75° (reciprocating angle). Furthermore, an X-direction excitation was added to the roller screen to study the effects of excitation frequency, amplitude and reciprocating angle on the screening process by orthogonal test. The simulation results showed that the ideal parameters of the roller screen were: 8 Hz (excitation frequency), 8 mm (amplitude) and 70° (reciprocating angle) under screening mode with two degrees of Freedom.
