Analysis of the Working Principle of Vibrating Screens: How to Select Suitable Screening Equipment and Daily Maintenance Guide

 

I. Core Elements of the Working Principle of Vibrating Screens

The vibrating screen generates a specific motion trajectory through a precisely designed vibration system to achieve efficient screening of materials. The double - layer counterweight structure inside the equipment is the key to its operation: the upper counterweight block drives the screen surface to form a horizontal circular vibration, while the lower counterweight block generates an elliptical trajectory in the vertical direction. The synergistic effect of the two forms a three - dimensional composite vibration mode. This combined vibration makes the materials on the screen present a three - stage movement of diffusion, stratification, and sieving, which is particularly suitable for processing mixed materials with different particle sizes.

 

II. Industrial Applications and Equipment Advantages of Vibrating Screens

As a general - purpose device in modern industrial production, vibrating screens have been widely used in fields such as building materials processing, mineral development, chemical production, and energy treatment. Its technical advantages are mainly reflected in:

1. The double - layer vibration system brings a screening efficiency 30% higher than that of traditional equipment.

2. The modular screen design supports quick replacement of different mesh specifications.

3. The fully enclosed structure effectively controls dust overflow.

4. The rubber shock - absorbing base reduces the running noise of the equipment.

5. The self - adaptive balance system reduces the wear of mechanical parts.

 

III. Comparison of Mainstream Vibrating Screen Models and Selection Suggestions

Different working conditions have different requirements for screening equipment. Common models include:

-Circular vibrating screen: Suitable for high - precision classification, mostly used in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

-Linear vibrating screen: With a large processing capacity, mostly used for the initial screening of mine sand and gravel.

-Elliptical vibrating screen: Balancing yield and precision, suitable for the processing of chemical raw materials.

-High - frequency vibrating screen: Specifically used for the classification and screening of ultrafine powders.

When selecting a model, factors such as material characteristics (humidity, viscosity, particle shape), processing capacity requirements, and installation space limitations should be mainly considered. It is recommended to consult professional engineers for production capacity calculation to avoid energy waste caused by oversized equipment selection or the impact on production efficiency due to undersized equipment selection.

 

IV. Precautions during Equipment Use

1.Pre - startup inspection: Confirm the tension of the screen and the state of fasteners, and remove residues on the screen surface.

2.Operation monitoring: Pay attention to whether the current fluctuation is within the rated range and listen for abnormal mechanical sounds.

3.Shutdown maintenance: Clean the inside of the screen box after each operation and check the spring shock - absorbing system.

4.Periodic maintenance: Add lubricating grease every 500 hours and check the insulation performance of the motor quarterly.

 

V. Maintenance Tips for Extending Service Life

1. Establish an equipment operation log to record key parameters such as vibration amplitude and bearing temperature.

2. Strengthen the moisture - proof treatment of electrical components during the rainy season to avoid circuit short - circuits.

3. For corrosive materials, choose a polyurethane screen to enhance corrosion resistance.

4. In a low - temperature environment in winter, run the equipment idle for 10 minutes to pre - heat it.

5. Equip with a special tool kit containing vulnerable parts such as screen tensioners and elastic rubber rings.

Through scientific equipment management and standardized maintenance processes, the vibrating screen can maintain a stable operation cycle of 8 - 10 years. Enterprises should establish a preventive maintenance system, regularly invite professional teams to evaluate the equipment status, and replace worn parts in time to ensure the continuous and efficient operation of the production line.

 

Mastering the correct use method of the vibrating screen and implementing systematic maintenance can not only improve the material processing efficiency but also significantly reduce the equipment failure rate, creating continuous production benefits for enterprises. When purchasing equipment, it is recommended to give priority to models equipped with an intelligent monitoring system to achieve remote fault diagnosis through Internet of Things technology and further improve the equipment management level.
