One of the main requirements related to application of vibrating platforms is to achieve the maximum productivity during their operation and, at the same time, to break mass and separate some components from the mass itself. Application of response surface methodology (RSM), which is based on design of experiments (DoE), resulted in mathematical model for exploring geometrical and kinematic parameters influencing the optimum operating performance of vibrating platform. The experiment was conducted by means of multifactor orthogonal plan type 2k and hyperbolic curves were formed. It was also determined that these curves are always between the curves formed on the basis of results of theoretical model, which verifies the research results.
