Conveying Driven Vibrating é
Screens {Al present day vibratory machines have
their roots in “screening” units. More than
200 years ogo. they met an essentioi
‘need in the emerging cement and grain
industries. Crudely constructed, steeply
‘downhill soped, sow moving “shaker
type screens were used in coment mak:
Ing processes as eatiy as the 17708. They
“shook” with vitually an arbitrary motion,
Gravity was relied upon to cause the
‘material fo roll dawn ond over the screen
media Full length collectng hoppers for
the "unders” were mounted undemeath
the shaking sereen deck. Conversely the
fist proctical machines to move bulk
salds by solely a conveying type vibratory
action did not appear until more recent
times. This background stil has a strong
Influence on the different types of vibrat-
Ing screens available today and thelr
appication practices,
Vibrating screens are essentialy con-
veying units equipped with some kind of
screening medic. Since the generated
vibration is the prime mover of the mate-
tig over the screen’ surface, they are on
“induced Conveying” type of vibratory
machine,
‘Atle the decision was made to
‘adopt the Kinergy Drive System fo them in
1978, eventually came fo be recog:
rized as the most significant
‘advancement in vibrating screens that
had been accomplished in more than 40
years!

“sizing” functions is combined with this
cleansing operation. This same kind of
“washing” action is often used to spray
the exposed “overs” retained on del-
‘quetying screens,

This internal implosion is opposite fo on
‘external explosion, The implosion reduces
the liquids “surtace tension’. Ths highly
*jocaized" internal pressure rise tends to
foe the bulk sold particles from the sur-
rounding liquid. Imploding Is the basic
‘phenomenon that makes “delguetying’

to remove excess surface moisture from 0

For Unictrectional units, both encs are
enclosed, @ full length cover adéed, and
the separations are alscharged down
‘through indvidual vertical chutes (Figure

the unt inlet and outets.

Energy Efficiency: Tho power con
sumed will be 70 10 80% less, This
conserves energy and it markedly
feduces operating costs by scving about
$300 /year. it combines the "Kineray’
produced 5y the drve sexings with the
Input of the motor to power the vibrating
screen. This is why they are s0 “energy eff-
lent” (Figure 31),
Quits offen, a “cash rebate" willbe
‘granted by the local Electrical Utlity com:

Vibrating Screen because it makes a
