Scalping Screens
Remove Oversized Bulk Material
JVI Vibratory Scalping Screens are used in material processing applications to deliver coarse separation of bulk materials. Also referred to as safety screens, scalping screens are ideal for removing oversized material from processes. Each JVI Scalping Screen is engineered to produce the highest screening efficiency possible.
Industrial Classifying Screens, Made In the USA
For over 25 years, JVI has been providing electromechanical vibrating Scalping Screens to customers across North America and around the world.
Found Across Many Industries
JVI Scalping Screens are used in a wide range of industries including:
- Recycling
- Mining
- Aggregates
- Plastics
- Pharmaceuticals
- Food
- & Many more

Coarse Separation
Scalping screens are used for coarse separation of oversized materials. Each screen is designed to maximize the probability that oversized particles do not pass through the screen deck. This provides a consistent flow of the required sized material to move downstream in the process.
Protect Downstream Equipment
By removing oversized material from the process, scalping screens help ensure longer operating lives of downstream equipment. This means downstream equipment such as crushers are provided on spec material that ensures they run at their optimal output.
Maximize Screening Efficiency
Through the use of our experience and materials testing lab, JVI maximizes the screening efficiency of our scalping screens. This ensures each screen is able to meet the requirements of the work envelope, given the material and process it is working in.
Light, Medium, and Heavy-Duty Applications
From dosing drives to electromechanical motors to electromagnetic drives to exciter drives, JVI has an extensive stock of drives and motors to handle light duty applications for food, pharmaceuticals and plastics industries up to heavy duty application for mining, recycling, and aggregates.
Material Testing Lab
JVI’s material testing lab is used for testing customer’s bulk materials specific properties. With this data JVI is able to determine the screen-ability of the material, as well as optimizations that can be incorporated into the design of the screen for higher screening efficiency.

Custom Engineered Scalping Screens
From the type and amount of material to the desired cut size to the environmental conditions of the operating location, each application comes with its own unique challenges. The JVI engineering team works closely with our customers to provide completely custom scalping screens designed to handle their exact material and environmental requirements.
Multi-Deck Designs
JVI offers deck designs to meet customer specific process requirements with one, two, or three decks. This allows material to be separated into two, three, or four distinct material flow streams based on particle size.
Application Specific Decks
JVI offers a wide variety of screen deck options including:
- Woven wire decks used in many applications featuring larger open areas.
- Wedge wire decks are typically used for dewatering applications.
- Perforated decks are used for abrasive materials for longer wear life.
- Rubber Decks are used for highly abrasive and / or high temperature material.
- Polyurethane Decks are used to provide 4-5 times wear life with abrasive material.
- Grizzly Fingers are used to provide coarse screening.

Explosion Proof and Hazardous Location Certified
JVI Scalping Screens are available with explosion-proof motors with CSA & ATEX certifications where dust ignition is a concern. All JVI vibratory screens are available with Class II, Division I certifications and ATEX equivalent.
Tough Environment Ready
For tough environments, JVI Scalping Screens are designed with more robust, thicker material of construction, and abrasion resistance liners on wear areas.
Food Grade and Washdown Ready
JVI Scalping Screens are suitable for food grade and pharmaceutical applications with stainless steel construction finished to the exact mechanical or electro-polish requirements.
