## Description

This MCP server provides technical decision support for vibrating screening machine design. It connects AI agents to specialized engineering formulas to determine the required surface area, optimal mesh openings, and physical deck configurations. Use `get_required_screen_area` to find the necessary surface area for a specific feed rate, `calculate_aperture_settings` to determine mesh sizes, `design_deck_configuration` to plan the machine layout, and `validate_bed_depth_compliance` to ensure material flow efficiency.

## Tools

### calculate_aperture_settings
Recommends the optimal mesh opening sizes based on the material's size distribution

### design_deck_configuration
Suggests how many screen layers (decks) are needed and their layout

### get_required_screen_area
Determines the total surface area needed to process a specific feed rate at a target efficiency

### validate_bed_depth_compliance
Checks if the proposed screen area and aperture size can handle the feed rate without the material layer becoming too thick

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the required screen area for a feed rate of 500 tons per hour with a 90% efficiency target and this PSD: {'10-20mm': 0.4, '20-40mm': 0.6}?
```

**Response:** 
```
The required screen area for a 500 t/h feed rate at 90% efficiency is 125 square meters.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Recommend aperture settings for a material with a distribution of {'5mm': 0.5, '10mm': 0.5} targeting a 7mm separation point.
```

**Response:** 
```
The recommended aperture size is 7.5mm, providing an effective open area of 0.65 and an expected passing fraction of 0.52.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Suggest a deck configuration for a total required area of 200 square meters with multi-stage separation.
```

**Response:** 
```
A 3-deck configuration is recommended with a total area of 210 square meters and a total height of 4.5 meters.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the required screen area?**
You can use the `get_required_screen_area` tool by providing the feed rate, the particle size distribution, and your target efficiency.

**Can I design multi-deck screen layouts?**
Yes, the `design_deck_configuration` tool allows you to specify if multi-stage separation is required to generate a suitable deck layout.

**How do I ensure the material won't clog the screen?**
Use the `validate_bed_depth_compliance` tool to check if the material layer thickness is compatible with your aperture size and feed rate.
