The latest in screening equipment

Simplicity has provided vibrating equipment to virtually every industry requiring the separation of materials into various sizes since 1921. According to Terex MPS, Simplicity’s DM Series incline screens are uncompromised workhorses designed for virtually any application. The screen is designed for heavy-duty scalping, intermediate sizing or finished screening of virtually any material. The DM Series twin-shafted dual mechanism delivers the rugged reliability for large, heavy production demands with a variety of configurations to meet specific applications, the company adds. The dual mechanism is optimized to provide maximum bearing life, superb reliability and can be custom engineered to fit existing envelopes, Terex MPS says.

App to help avoid shutdowns

According to Major, its smartphone app provides customers with up-to-date information and access to advanced digital tools. The app is free and available for Apple and Android phones, and the tool is available for aggregate producers and Major dealers, with customizations for each. Depending on the type of user, the app includes marketing materials, expert documents and Major’s newsletter. The app also integrates with the new Flex-Mat Sensor screen box vibration analysis tool, giving users the ability to operate the sensor and view vibration analysis reports. The Flex-Mat Sensor enables readings of screen box vibrations within seconds and generates a report that can be sent or reviewed. The sensor allows users to review results and fine-tune their screen machine without shutting down the equipment, according to Major.

Parts to meet a variety of installation needs

Want to make changeouts easier? Pull everything from one pallet. Unified Screening & Crushing stocks screen rails in rubber, steel and urethane. According to Unified, it offers the largest inventory of screen media in the U.S., with hundreds of different square opening screen sizes. Producers, however, can turn to Unified for all of their screen installation needs, including rails, channel rubber, bolts and fasteners. Single sourcing means less work for producers, Unified says, and greater efficiency for frontline teams.

Stay on top of your screen’s performance

Aggregate producers can easily test and track screen performance and ensure maximum screening productivity with Deister Machine Co.’s Orbit+ mobile app and wireless accelerometer. The portable Orbit+ wireless accelerometer is small enough to fit in a pocket, utilizing powerful magnets to securely attach to the screening unit to provide accurate, high-precision measurements, Deister says. Turn Orbit+ on, connect to the mobile app and it’s ready to conduct multi- and single-point tests, as well as log and share results. Producers can quickly and easily conduct vibration tests and monitor machine speed, stroke, amplitude, angle of throw and side motion. They can also view orbit, waveform and spectrum data, and log test records and maintenance schedules.

Vibration screen tech already 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 or iPad app 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. These messages are immediately distributed to maintenance and operations personnel to schedule repairs to prevent downtime.
