The motion characteristics and penetrating mechanisms of particles on the screen deck are studied. Effects of geometric parameters of screen deck on banana screening process are investigated. The results show that when the values of inclination of discharge and increment of screen deck inclination are 10° and 5° respectively, the banana screening process get a good screening performance in the simulation. The relationship between screen deck length and screening efficiency is further confirmed. The conclusion that the screening efficiency will not significantly increase when the deck length L≥430mm（L/B≥3.5）is obtained, which can provide theoretical basis for the optimization of banana screen.

Banana screen has been wildly used in mineral industry in recent years because of its high efficiency and capacity. But for lacking deeply understanding the fundamental mechanisms of particle motion and penetration behavior in the screening process, reasonable operation and optimization of banana screen to meet different conditions have been important practical problems in screening industry [3-5]. Most of the mathematical models of screening processes currently in use are phenomenological models and concern the establishment of factors that influence the screening efficiency [6]. In principle, the bulk behavior of particles on banana screen depends on the collected outcome of the
