The new company name SmicoSymons Vibratory Screens was recently announced. Formed from two leading industry brands, Smico Manufacturing and Symons Screens, SmicoSymons brings a combined 170 years of experience to the screening industry. Symons began making screens in 1933 in California, and the same brothers, Ory and Ed Symons designed and manufactured the still well known Symons cone crusher which was later bought by Nordberg in Milwaukee which went on to be acquired by Metso.

The Smico product line will continue to focus on the industrial, food and minerals industries while the Symons product line will continue to focus on the aggregate and mining industries. Still manufactured in the US in Oklahoma, these two brands continue to pioneer and deliver both standard and customised screening solutions for a wide range of common and speciality applications worldwide, including mining. The group states: “Unlike many other manufacturers, SmicoSymons continues to modify existing screening models and engineer custom screening solutions for its broad customer base. Unique production conditions and process variables make selection of the proper screening equipment a critical factor for operational success. SmicoSymons’ qualified materials test lab ensures that the machine type, size, setting and screen media selected will achieve the precise sizing and tonnage per hour required for each specific application.”

Smico’s broad product line includes a wide range of standard and customisable vibrating screeners, conveyors, separators, feeders, shakers, sifters and other process equipment. These range from specialty low-volume, fine screens to major-tonnage aggregate and mining screens. A few of Smico’s most popular products include the DH2 Vibratory Screener heavy-duty, high-frequency screen; and the Vibroset Vibrating Screener light-duty high-frequency screen.
