Abstract: A centrifugal screening device comprises a cylindrical screen surrounded by a cylindrical casing spaced radially from the screen. A central shaft inside the screen carries a plurality of blades which are inclined so that material fed into one end of the space between the shaft and screen is thrown toward the screen by centrifugal force and is also propelled axially of the screen to an exit at the other end. Fine material passing through the screen is collected in a funnel at the lower end. The screen is made up of semicylindrical sections each comprising a frame in which metal mesh is secured by strips of woven synthetic resin material.
