3 Brilliant Ways Help You to Prevent Trommel Screen Mesh Blockage

On 30th October, we received a feedback from a Kazakhstan customer that screen blockage occurred in the operation process of trommel screen,the screening effect is very poor. Meanwhile,we asked customer to send us the on site operation photographs and found out the blockage was caused by the high humidity screening material, here our engineers gives relevant solutions to prevent blockage as follows:
1.Set up an automatic cleaning brush on the top of trommel screen , thus the screen mesh will be cleaned automatically in the operation. 
2.Equipped with air compressors, as screening material is sand which is slightly damp, so cleaning purpose can be achieved by air force.
3. Add an anti blocking device, through high frequency and small force of vibration impact, and match with elastic sieve surface, which can efficiently clean up the blockage to ensure qualified materials pass through the screen mesh smoothly under humid conditions.
Besides, you can also adopt the textile screen mesh which is made of 16Mn,with strong strength, good abrasion resistance and high screening efficiency, the service life of screen mesh can reach more than 2 years.
Hope the above methods can be helpful,further information please click: www.pkmachinery.com

                     

What should we notice when use linear vibrating screen for the first time？

Firstly, check if there is bolt looseness of the linear vibrating screen.
Secondly, remove four fixed plates of all the springs on the linear vibrating screen in order to protect the machine from scratch during transportation process.
Thirdly, read the manual carefully and check the components before testing the linear vibrating screen.
Besides,please also note the following important notes:
1.Since vibration motor works continuously, it needs to be filled with oil regularly .
2.Check if there is screen mesh damage when the machine stops working.
3.As some users may choose wood net rack, please also check if there is screen frame damage. Compared with steel net rack, the wood net rack is easy to replace screen mesh,however, the life span is much shorter.

3.After non-load running, please tighten the screw bolt again.
4.Once the operation becomes normal, check the fixture condition of the fastening bolts regularly.
5.Check the wearing parts frequently, the damping spring which is damaged spring or without elasticity,please replace timely. If the screen occurs fracture or wear, please tighten or replace the spring at once. The adjustment,use and maintenance of vibration source, please refer to vibration source instructions. (please oil the vibration motor after using for 3 months, oil the exciter every month, repair every half year, overhaul every year).
6.Stop feeding the material before stopping running the machine, stop the machine after the material on screen surface are completely discharged. 

What Should We Pay Attention to the Selection of Vibrating Screen Coupling

Vibrating screen coupling is commonly used in mechanical transmission components. It is used to put two shaft coupling together, a component which cannot separate with rotation and transmission torque of two shafts when the vibrating screen is running; only after the machine stop and after joint apart, two shafts can be separated. Coupling is a kind of standard part, when using we can choose coupling according to the requirements of national standards and the using requirements.

 

Due to the manufacturing and installation error, two shafts of coupling connection may occur deformation after bearing and the influence of temperature change, often cannot guarantee strict centring, however, there is some degree of relative displacement. So choose cross coupling between the reducer and the clutch, oldham coupling is composed of two end surface fluted half coupling and the middle plate of protruding teeth both sides. Because convex teeth can slide in groove, so it can compensate for the relative displacement between the two shafts in installation and operation. This kind material of coupling parts can be available for 45# steel, work surface needs heat treatment to improve its hardness. It is also available for Q275 steel when the requirement is lower, no heat treatment is required. In order to reduce friction and tear, when using we should lubricate from the oil hole in the middle.
Because sliding pair is consist of half coupling and the middle plate, which can't occur relative rotation, therefore, angular velocity of the drive shaft and the driven shaft should be equal. But when there are relative displacement between the two shafts, middle plate will generate a lot of centrifugal force, which will increase the dynamic load and wear. Therefore when we choose coupling, we should pay attention to that working speed shall not be greater than the specified value. 

What's the Special Role of Vibrating Screen Bouncing Ball?

When the vibrating screen works, have you ever noticed that the bouncing balls beat up and down on the sieve mesh? Why this phenomenon occurs on the sieve mesh? What's special role of bouncing ball? Today we will take a brief look.
These bouncing balls are an essential part of vibrating screening machines.Its role is beating the sieve mesh up and down avoid adhesion material blocking the sieve mesh which can improve screening efficiency and accuracy.

Bouncing balls are generally divided into different diameters: φ10, φ15, φ20, φ25, φ28, φ30, φ40, φ50, φ60 and so on, commonly used ones are φ25 and φ28 , φ40, φ50and φ60 mainly used for mine vibrating screen.
According to the material,bouncing ball can be classified into several types: rubber ball, silicone ball, PTFE ball bouncing, according to different materials of bouncing balls, the application and function is also different.
Natural rubber bouncing ball：it is suitable for general material screening process;
Silicone bouncing ball：good elasticity., mainly used for food, medicine and other materials screening;
PTFE bouncing ball : It can soak in the oil , mainly applied to oily liquid materials screening.
The bouncing balls should be selected based on different material properties to meet customer requirements in different conditions. Though bouncing ball is a small accessory, it is the key to solve the problem of screening.

What Screen is Used in the Feed Industry--the Gyratory Screen

At present, most feed manufacturers need to sieve and grade the powder material ,granular feed, and the intermediate products after secondary crushing. The quality and output of the feed products are directly affected by the classification and the performance of the equipment. What screen is commonly used in the feed industry? The answer is the gyratory screen. It is widely used in feed industry due to its simple structure, large output, convenient maintenance, low noise.
Under the inertia force, gyratory screen sieve box moves back and forth, driving the screen surface shaking periodically, and forcing feed material on the screen surface jumps along with the screen box, the material which is less than sieve aperture will be discharged from the outlet after continuous rolling and jumping movement, then screening operations complete.

The Operation Specification of Vibration Platform

Using Introduction:
1. Before installing the vibration platform, please lay a good foundation, then install it, when installation, the fixed bolts must be tightened.
2. Before test run the well-installed vibration table, first 3-5 minutes start-up to check all the fastening bolts, if loose, should be tightened.
3. In the process, concrete products should be firmly fixed on the vibration table, and be symmetrical with the platform to balance the load. Users can design their own vibrated product fastening device according to their needs.
4. Vibrator bearings should be inspected and cleaned regularly and maintain a good lubrication of the bearing to prolong the service life of the vibrator.
5. Vibration table should be reliable grounded to ensure safety.

Operating Regulations:
1. Before using the vibration platform, 3 ~ 5 min non-load test first, then stop and tighten all fastening parts, 2 ~ 3 times repeatedly, it can be put into operation.
2. When using vibration table, the test mode of concrete specimens must be securely fixed on the working platform. In order to balance the load, test mode must be placed symmetrically with the center line of the table.。 
3. Vibration motor should be grounded well and reliably.

4. In the production process, if vibration table sound is abnormal, please stop using immediately, unplug the power and fully inspect whether the fasteners are loose or not, check whether the inner eccentric vibration block of motor is loose or damaged, if necessary, tighten the loose parts and replace the damaged parts.
5. After using, please turn off the power, clean the vibration table surface. 

Application of Dewatering Screen in Beneficiation Process of Potash Feldspar

Recently, most of manufacturers choose spiral classifier and pressure filter to dehydrate potash feldspar during dehydration process. But there are some disadvantages, spiral classifier cannot classify materials completely and pressure filter needs large investment. What’s more, if users adopt spiral classifier to deal with the separation of residue water during the production of potash feldspar, it will cause the finished materials containing too much water so that the materials cannot be dry heaping. It is found that if users adopt dewatering screen instead of spiral classifier, the water content of potash feldspar will be less than 15% after dewatering by dewatering screen and the materials can achieve dry heaping effect. Furthermore, it can increase recovery rate of finished products because the dewatering screen can elect fine sand which will lose caused by spiral classifier.

 

There are two applications for dewatering screen used in beneficiation process of potash feldspar, one is used for classification of potash feldspar which is processed by ball mill, another is used for dewatering of potash feldspar products. In the traditional production process, it always uses pressure filter to deal with this kind of materials during the dewatering process of potash feldspar products. But this kind of production technical has large energy consumption, lower working efficiency and higher water content. While if users adopt dewatering screen to deal with potash feldspar, it can improve the production efficiency greatly, also can reduce energy consumption and floor space. 

The Tin Powder Screening Problem for Ultrasonic Vibration Sieve

1.The output powder efficiency of ultrasonic vibration sieve is low, there is no finish powder or less after sieving, if this kind of situation appears, we need to check the performance of ultrasonic acoustic, whether it is due to the poor quality, resulting in screen mesh blockage, causing the finished powder cannot be sieved out.
2.Larger and smaller size of tin powder exceed the standard, when confronted with the problem, we first need to check screen mesh of ultrasonic vibration screen, uneven powder size mostly may be due to poor quality of screen mesh, aperture size is not same when manufacturers make the screen mesh, or some parts of screen mesh are damaged after long time use, here it requires us select standard and qualified screen mesh from the regular manufacturers, regular check of screen damage is also required.

3. The oxygen content of tin powder is excessive of the standard, it is mainly because of poor sealing ,which lead to air leakage, it is necessary to ensure good sealing and check whether the sealing ring and other sealing place are qualified or not, vibration sieve rubber sealing ring after long time use, it will occur deformation or a series of problems which results in the increase of oxygen content in tin powder. Therefore, check the sealing ring regularly, especially in the case of high temperature in the summer.
4. Unstable ultrasonic vibration screen will cause the screen mesh heating and screen plugging seriously, before using ultrasonic vibration sieve, please select and set the vibration motor power well, check the equipment adjustment flexibility and check if discharging outlet is smooth or not.

 

For points listed above, you will find the tin screening is a impregnable problem. As a senior research, development and production manufacturer, Henan Pingyuan Mining Machinery Co.,Ltd has devoted to solve all the screening problem, we are sure we will be the best choice, more information please click: www.pkmachinery.com

Application and Difference of Shaft and Shaftless Trommel Screen

There are 2 kinds structure of trommel screen. One is trommel screen with shaft, the other is shaftless trommel screen. Generally both of them can be applied in some common bulk material, however, for material with special property, we must pay more attention to select a more suitable model according to the application working condition.
Trommel screen with shaft: 
The drum is installed aslope on the main frame. The motor and gearbox connect the drum through a coupling and rotates around an axis. After the material fed into the drum, the material can move forward and rotate due to the inclination and rotation of drum. The qualified material will be discharged from the bottom hopper, and the unqualified material will be discharged from the end outlet. As the material rotates in the drum, which make the blocked material bounced out of the aperture to prevent the mesh blocking.
Trommel screen with shaft is generally used for screening granular material with large density, such as: sand, coal, limestone, fertilizer, compost and mineral, etc.

 

Shaftless trommel screen: 
The shaftless trommel screen is installed horizontally. The drum is rotated driven by motor wheel gear or motor chain. Generally the rotate speed is very slow and the drum length can be designed longer, which can increase the screening efficiency. In the drum internal wall, there is a delivery plate ( sometimes screw type) to make the material move forward. The material which is larger than mesh size will be discharged at the end outlet, and the material which is smaller than mesh size will be discharged at the bottom discharge hopper. If the material is household garbage, we can also add a cutting tool, which can rive some plactis bags, etc. 
Shaftless tromme screen is generally used for screeninig material with small density, such as: waste, wooden chips, activated carbon, fertilizer, construction material, chemical material, etc.  

Do not Ignore the Unbalance Motor Vibration Phenomenon of Vibration Table!

Do not Ignore the Unbalance Motor Vibration Phenomenon of Vibration Table!

Vibration motor is not as what you imagine, only plus a few springs on the equipment, and put on a few motors, it will become a veritable vibration equipment, then will be used for vibration production? In fact, sometimes the question is much more serious than the imagination, the theory and practice is the only way which can reach truth. Next Henan Pingyuan Mining Machinery Co., Ltd will explain to you: The unbalance vibration phenomenon of the vibration motor for vibration table.

The problem of vibration which cannot meet the vibration motor in the running of the equipment, also can never be solved, that is uneven and unbalance of the vibration. The influence of the unbalanced vibration in the screening equipment is less, while the influence will often appear in making the vibration table. However in the reality, the unbalanced force of vibration equipment is often neglected by us.
1. In the use of a single vibration motor on the vibration table, it can appear the problem of motor rotation, the material will move on the surface of vibration table.
2. In the use two vibrating motors, it will change the uniform vibration point of the vibration table. Due to counter rotation of two motors , it will offset the power in the middle of the vibration table. If the vibration amplitude around the platform is 5mm, the vibration amplitude in the center of the table can't be over 3mm.
