bar screens
Explanation:
I've never seen desbaste in this context, but my guess is that it refers to screening of coarse materials, so I'd go with bar screens (desbastar: quitar lo grueso, basto, etc.). It should follow from the context that there are other stages in the purification process.

Andrea, Me gustó tu explicación pero escogí "rough screening" ya que están hablando del proceso y no del medio. Saludos.

Explanation:
Hola Jesús,
Me parece que desbaste puede interpretarse aquí como áspero, tosco o sin labrar.

Buena suerte y saludos de Oso ¶:^)
