Components to consider for screening plants

The VARIOwobbler HVW represents the new generation of roller screens, according to Hazemag. The VARIOwobbler HVW’s unique feature is that the gap setting between the individual shafts – and thus the separation – is infinitely adjustable at the push of a button, as well as without any tools. Under difficult raw material conditions, Hazemag says the flexibility of the scalping system can be enhanced and easily fulfilled with the VARIOwobbler HVW roller screen, which offers hydraulic gap setting adjustment. The benefits of the VARIOwobbler are realized when the raw material contains a high level of variations, the company says. Taking everything into account, Hazemag says pre-screening and the utilization of the VARIOwobbler can provide operators with a high level of operating benefits, increased product quality and reduced operating costs.

Horizontal screen’s capabilities enhanced

Extra clearance between decks is now an optional feature of Guardian horizontal screens. According to Superior Industries, maintenance crews appreciate the extra headroom while working inside the screen. Superior outfitted some of its screens with king-sized bearings, which increase the capacity of the screen. Additionally, the company says it builds one of the market’s only four-deck screens, which offer a five-product split – four end products and one oversize. The four-deck option is available in 6-ft. x 20-ft. and 8-ft. x 20-ft. models. Superior manufactures a dozen Guardian models in two-, three- or four-deck configurations for dry or wet applications.

Eliminate downtime with elliptical horizontal screen

An elliptical horizontal screen from Conn-Weld Industries, introduced to the market last year, features asymmetrical shafts and a phase-adjustable gearbox that’s designed so the angle of motion can be adjusted while the equipment is running – thus eliminating downtime. Says Conn-Weld’s Anthony Fink: “The elliptical horizontal sparked a lot of questions and a lot of excitement about the solution it brings to the industry.”

Next-generation screen enhances uptime

The design of the next-generation Niagara T-Class vibrating screen retains the technical benefits the original concentric technology is known for while improving screening uptime and performance with new features. According to Haver & Boecker Niagara, the T-Class deck frame is now primarily lockbolted rather than welded to provide optimum strength, reliability and safety. Haver & Boecker Niagara says lockbolts are more effective than welding in the demanding, load-bearing, high-vibration operation of a vibrating screen to ensure the machine’s structural integrity.

Vibrating screen tech making a difference

Monitoring vibrating screening equipment and issuing a warning before a catastrophic failure can save tens of thousands of dollars in unscheduled outages, Syntron Material Handling says. Using smart technology, Syntron generates warning messages through a phone app or iPad about a customer’s screening equipment by integrating devices such as temperature and stroke measuring sensors, vibration monitoring devices, and oil level indicators to predict oncoming conditions such as bearing failure or possible structural damage. These messages are immediately distributed to maintenance and operations to schedule repairs to prevent lost output downtime.

Optimize the wash plant with three-deck model

Deister Machine Co. says the BHM-3824-03T three-deck, 8-ft. x 24-ft. wash screen with a triple-shaft vibrating mechanism is a producer favorite in its vibrating screen line. According to Deister, inclined screens with the mechanism located between the decks offer the most economical combination of capacity and mechanical simplicity.
