Vibrating Screen Topic

Preface: Vibrating screen is a screening device that uses the principle of vibration to classify materials. It uses the exciting force generated by the vibrating motor to make the screen body do reciprocating or circular motion, so that the material jumps on the screen surface and is classified according to the particle size. Vibrating screen is a mechanical device used to separate solid particle mixtures. It uses vibration to make materials of different sizes, shapes or densities produce different motion trajectories on the screen surface, thereby achieving the purpose of material classification, dehydration, desludging, etc. The following is an introduction to the vibrating screen:

A. Structural composition of the vibrating screen

Vibrating Screen

1. Screen box: It is the core part of the vibrating screen, including the screen frame and the screen, on which the material is screened.

2. Vibrator: It provides a vibration source for the vibrating screen, usually driven by an electric motor, and generates vibration through an eccentric block or other means.

3. Spring: It supports the screen box and absorbs excess vibration energy to ensure stable operation of the equipment.

4. Support device: It is used to fix the entire vibrating screen to ensure that it does not move during operation.

B. Vibrating screen mesh material and specifications:

Depending on the material characteristics and screening requirements, screen meshes of different materials can be used, such as metal screen mesh, non-metallic screen mesh, etc.

The screen mesh specifications also vary, such as round holes, square holes, diamond holes, etc., and can also be customized according to specific needs.

C. Types of vibrating screens:

Vibrating Screen

The working principle of the vibrating screen is mainly based on the application of vibration mechanics. The exciting force generated by the vibration motor or exciter makes the screen body vibrate in a certain form, thereby realizing the screening of materials. The following is a description of the working principle of the vibrating screen:

1. Generation of exciting force:

a. The vibrating screen is usually equipped with a vibration motor or exciter, which is a key component for generating exciting force.

Operating principle of vibrating screen

2. Vibration of the screen body:

a. Under the action of the exciting force, the screen body will produce a certain form of vibration, such as linear vibration, circular vibration, elliptical vibration, etc.

b. These vibration forms depend on the configuration and installation method of the vibration motor or exciter.

3. Screening of materials:

a. When the material is fed into the screen surface, the vibration of the screen surface causes the material to form a jumping and rolling movement on the screen surface.

b. In this process, material particles smaller than the screen hole will fall through the screen, while particles larger than the screen hole will remain on the screen surface.

c. With the continuous vibration of the screen body, the material is continuously graded and the screening process is finally completed.

4. Factors affecting screening efficiency:

a. Screening efficiency is affected by many factors, such as the material, specifications and installation angle of the screen; the type and power of the vibration motor or exciter; the nature, humidity and particle size distribution of the material.

b. In order to improve the screening efficiency, it is necessary to select the appropriate screen material and specifications according to the characteristics of the material and the screening requirements, adjust the parameters of the vibration motor or exciter, and optimize the material feeding method and screening process.

When purchasing a vibrating screen, customers must consider it comprehensively to ensure that the vibrating screen they purchase meets the actual needs of production and has a high cost-effectiveness. The following editor of Zhongcheng Machinery introduces how to choose a good vibrating screen product:

A. Clear screening requirements

Vibrating Screen

1. Material characteristics: Understand the particle size, specific gravity, viscosity, humidity, corrosiveness and other characteristics of the material. Select suitable screening equipment according to the material characteristics. For example, for materials with strong viscosity, a vibrating screen with a net cleaning device needs to be selected.

2. Screening requirements: Determine the screening accuracy and screen hole size. In most cases, the smaller the screen hole, the higher the screening accuracy, but the processing capacity is also reduced accordingly.

B. Consider equipment performance

1. Screen area and movement mode: The larger the screen area, the greater the processing capacity. The movement mode affects the screening effect. For example, when the moving screen is screening particles, the particles can shake on the screen surface in a direction close to the vertical screen hole. The vibration frequency is high and the screening effect is better.

2. Vibration frequency and amplitude: Higher vibration frequency and appropriate amplitude can improve screening efficiency. However, too high vibration frequency and amplitude may cause equipment damage and excessive noise.

D. Consider economic applicability

1. Price: Choose a suitable vibrating screen according to the budget. Cost-effective equipment can bring higher economic benefits during use.

2. Maintenance: Choosing a vibrating screen that is easy to maintain can reduce maintenance costs and downtime. Understand the maintenance cycle and cost of the equipment.

E. Understand after-sales service

1. Manufacturer strength: Choose a manufacturer with strong production capacity to ensure the quality and delivery time of the equipment. You can check the manufacturer's production equipment, production process, production scale and other aspects.

3. After-sales service system: Understand the manufacturer's after-sales service system, after-sales response speed, maintenance policy and other aspects. Choose a manufacturer that can provide timely and professional after-sales service.

F. Field investigation and trial machine

Try to conduct field investigations at the manufacturer as much as possible to understand the production process and quality control of the equipment. At the same time, you can ask the manufacturer to conduct a trial machine to observe the operation of the vibrating screen, screening effect, noise and other aspects, so as to understand the performance of the equipment more intuitively.
