How to Improve your screening performance with 6 Simple steps

It is important to know what quality and performance you expect from your vibro screen as there are a wide range of industrial vibro screens on the market. The most common design is round vibrating screens as supplied by Russell Finex. The application is one of the factors which influences the performance of a vibratory screening machine and it is not uncommon to see this separation equipment not providing optimum efficiency.

Here are a few tips detailing how you can optimize the efficiency of your vibrating screen:

1) Always allow consistent feed to your vibroscreen. Uneven flow of material will affect the screening capacity and also the mesh.

2) Try to make the material being screened cover the complete area of mesh – any mesh left free will not be screening. For better screening coverage you can adjust the balance weights on your screen.

3) Tension of your mesh should be correct as this affects screening capacity. Meshes with low tension reduces screening capacity as it holds up product and may cause blocking. A mesh which is properly tensioned and bonded to the frame with high quality adhesive will keep its tension far longer than a mesh secured with a clip.

4) Always use good quality mesh on your vibroscreen as it affects the product quality and machine performance. The manufacturing quality of wire mesh also has an impact on accuracy of the apertures.

5) To keep mesh apertures free from blockage, mechanical mesh de-blinding systems such as balls or discs can be installed. As the balls or discs hit the mesh blockages are removed.

6) Another mesh de-blinding option is the Russell Vibrasonic® Deblinding System. By using ultrasonic technology on your mesh, production rates are increased as blockages are eliminated. This can drastically improve the screening of sticky powders.

These 6 steps will surely help to keep your vibro screen performing smoothly and ensure optimum efficiency.
