Mining machinery industry transformation is oriented towards highly sophisticated technologies aimed at enhancing the nature of operations carried out. Vibrating screen machine is a major player in the mining processing plants and has continuously been improved over the past years. This paper presents a literature study of vibrating screen development trends and the nature of the evolution through the years. From this comprehensive survey, a model was developed to show the distinct novelties and technical features that have evolved in vibrating screen production trends in the mining machinery industries. In view of this, aforementioned features novel techniques have also been identified, brainstormed and developed in order take mineral beneficiation technology and its associated industries to its peak.
