Height of screen

Posted in: , on 14. Oct. 2005 - 16:54

I would like to know the importnace of height in a vibrating screen.

If there is a space restriction can we make the side wall plates of the horizontal screen very low in height. In this case we will get a stiffer body and a lower height and both these are desireable.

Please tell me the pros and cons of such a screen construction.

Importance Of Sideplate Height

Hi sandeep: Height is a function of fitting in the drive assembly with proper clearance above it and below it......assuming shaft thru body design.......for material to pass around it, over it, and not to build upon it.

Deep plates are subject to more theoretical movement but, it is not uncommon to use STIFFENER or REINFORCING PLATES to ensure integrity of the sideplates during vibration.

Really the only other consideration is to accomodate for the assumed BED DEPTH or MATERIAL TOPSIZE the deck must handle and make sure the plate is deep enoough to contain it.

Mr.baker.

So it means that if my side plates are able to contain the material properly then i can reduce or increase the height of the side walls according to the headroom available. I must also consider the bed depth while doing this but must make sure that the exciters are mounted along the same line and at the same angle( 45Deg)

Simmilarly i can increase the height of the side plates but again must make enough stiffening of the side plates. Right

Another consideration is maintenance clearance. To have enough room to allow a man between decks to change meshes and inspect deck frames for wear or cracks etc. is important to most operaters.
