Vibrating Screens screening process

The screening process using vibrating screens is a mechanical separation technique that uses a vibrating surface with openings of a specific size (mesh) to separate materials based on their particle size.

Process

1. Feed Introduction:

The material to be separated (the feed) is introduced onto the vibrating screen surface. This is typically done using a feeder, such as a conveyor belt, vibrating feeder, or rotary feeder.

The feeding rate is crucial. An appropriate feeding rate ensures optimal screening efficiency. Too much material can overload the screen, reducing separation accuracy and potentially damaging the equipment. Too little material can lead to underutilization of the screen.

The distribution of the feed across the screen width is also important. Even distribution maximizes the use of the screen surface.

Process

2. Vibration and Stratification:

The vibrating screen imparts motion to the material. This motion, which can be linear, circular, or elliptical depending on the screen design, causes the material to stratify.

Stratification is the process where the smaller particles tend to sink towards the screen surface, while the larger particles rise to the top. This happens due to differences in particle size and density, and the vibrations help overcome friction and inertia.

Process

3. Screening and Separation:

The smaller particles that have stratified near the screen surface pass through the screen openings (mesh). These are known as the "undersize" or "fines."

The larger particles that are larger than the screen openings cannot pass through and remain on top. These are known as the "oversize" or "coarse" fraction.

The vibrating motion helps to dislodge particles that may be blocking the screen openings, maintaining the efficiency of the separation.

Process

4. Material Discharge:

The undersize material falls through the screen and is collected below.

The oversize material travels along the screen surface, propelled by the vibration and angle of the screen, until it is discharged at the opposite end.

Multiple screen decks (layers) can be stacked on top of each other, with each deck having a different mesh size. This allows for separating the feed material into multiple size fractions in a single operation.

Vibrating Screens Working Principle

Components

1. Screening Body/Frame/Base: Main Frame/Base The structural support that holds all the other components together. It's typically made of heavy-duty steel to withstand the vibration and load. Screen Box/Deck Support Frame A frame or structure specifically designed to support the screen deck(s). It's often separate from the main frame to allow for easier screen changes. Feed Hopper Where the material to be screened is introduced into the machine. Often includes a feed control mechanism (e.g., adjustable gate). Discharge Chutes/Outlets Channels or openings where the separated material fractions are discharged. There's usually a separate chute for each size fraction.

2. Screening Mechanism: Screen Deck(s) The platform(s) that hold the screen mesh or plates. Multi-deck machines have multiple decks stacked vertically for multiple size separations. Screen Mesh/Plate The actual screening surface. Woven Wire Mesh Common for various particle sizes. Perforated Plates Used for larger particle sizes and more robust applications. Polyurethane Screens Durable and wear-resistant, often used for abrasive materials. Rubber Screens Offer good abrasion resistance and noise reduction. Screen Tensioning System Mechanisms to securely hold and tension the screen mesh, ensuring proper vibration and preventing sagging. This may include clamps, bolts, or other tensioning devices.

3. Vibration System: Electric Motor Provides the power to drive the vibrator. Vibrator/Exciter Generates the vibratory force. This can be one of several types Eccentric Vibrator (Unbalanced Motor) An electric motor with unbalanced weights on its shaft. As the motor rotates, the unbalanced weights create a centrifugal force. Electromagnetic Vibrator Uses electromagnets to create oscillating motion. Pneumatic Vibrator Uses compressed air to generate vibration. Eccentric Weights The adjustable weights on the vibrator that control the amplitude of the vibration. Changing the weight or position affects the intensity of the vibration. Shaft(s) and Bearings Support the rotating components of the vibrator. Bearings are critical for smooth operation and longevity. Couplings and Drive Belts (if applicable) Connect the motor to the vibrator and transmit power.

4. Suspension and Isolation System: Springs/Rubber Mounts/Air Springs These isolate the vibration of the screening body from the surrounding structure, reducing noise and preventing damage to the building. Dampers (optional) Help to control the amplitude of the vibration and prevent excessive bouncing.

5. Control and Monitoring System: Control Panel Contains the switches, buttons, and indicators for starting, stopping, and adjusting the machine. Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) (optional) Allows for precise control of the motor speed and, therefore, the vibration frequency. Sensors (optional) Monitor vibration levels, motor temperature, and other parameters. Emergency Stop Button For immediate shutdown in case of malfunction.

6. Cleaning System (Optional): Bouncing Balls (Rubber or Plastic) Placed beneath the screen mesh to bounce and dislodge stuck particles, preventing blinding. Brushes Rotating or stationary brushes that clean the screen surface. Ultrasonic Vibration System Uses high-frequency sound waves to vibrate the screen mesh and prevent clogging. Air Knives/Air Blasts Use jets of air to clean the screen surface.

Working Principle

1. Generating Vibration: The heart of the machine is a vibrating mechanism. This typically consists of Electric Motor Provides the power to drive the vibrating mechanism. Eccentric Weights (Unbalanced Masses) Mounted on the motor shaft or a separate shaft, these unbalanced weights rotate. As they rotate, they create a centrifugal force. Vibration Exciter (Vibrator) Some machines have a dedicated vibrator unit, often using electromagnetic or pneumatic principles to create oscillations. The rotating eccentric weights generate a vibratory force. The magnitude and direction of this force are determined by the weight, speed of rotation, and the angle of the weights relative to each other.

2. Transferring Vibration to the Screen(s): The vibrating force is transmitted to the screening deck(s). These decks hold the screen mesh or plate. The entire screening structure, including the deck(s), is mounted on springs or rubber mounts or other flexible supports. This allows the deck to vibrate freely while isolating the vibration from the surrounding structure and reducing noise.

3. Material Feeding and Distribution: Material to be screened is fed onto the uppermost screen (if there are multiple decks) or directly onto the screen. The vibration causes the material to bounce, stratify, and move across the screen surface.

4. Size Separation: The screen mesh has openings of a specific size. Undersize material (particles smaller than the screen openings) passes through the screen. Oversize material (particles larger than the screen openings) remains on top of the screen and is conveyed towards the discharge end.

5. Multi-Deck Screening (Optional): Many vibration screening machines have multiple decks, each with a different mesh size. The material passes through the series of screens, with progressively smaller openings. This allows for separating the material into multiple size fractions (e.g., coarse, medium, fine).

6. Discharge: The different size fractions are discharged from separate outlets at the end of each screen deck.
