Several motion trajectory of vibrating screen

 The power source of vibration screening equipment -vibration motor can produce round, oval, straight, complex mode of motion.

  Vibration screen has been using vibration motor as power, which is simple and reliable and effective. Vibration motor vibration body in different installation form of combination, can produce different vibration trajectory, so as to effectively accomplish tasks.

   Linear vibrating screen: vibration body (vibration box body and material) projection of the vibration trajectory in horizontal and vertical surface are on the line, the vibration form called linear vibration. This type of vibration sieve is called linear vibrating screen or line screen. The vibration motor two sets of the same type installed in the machine body, so that the two vibration motor shaft are parallel to each other's position, running to the contrary, so running with synchronization, the body produces linear vibration.

  Circular or elliptical vibration: vibration trajectory of the vibrating body projection in the horizontal plane is a straight line, and the projection in a vertical plane is a circle or an ellipse, the vibration form known as round or elliptic vibration. Usually a vibration motor is arranged on the mechanical vibration’ body, can produce this movement. Circular or elliptical vibration occurred in the plane perpendicular to the rotating shaft of the motor on the vibration phase, the form is depand on the vibrating motor and the relative position of center of gravity.

  Composite vibration: the vibration of the vibrating body is generated by the two groups of vibration system, the vibration form is known as the compound vibration. In general there are two kinds of forms, which are dual compound and twin composite type . Vibration screening equipment to certain special properties, the use of two different models of different speed vibration motor, packed in sieving equipment receiving end and a discharge end, so that the vibration by feeding end show large amplitude and low frequency, and the discharge end presents the vibration of high frequency and small amplitude, central overlap two vibration screening equipment the screening equipment, play a screening role in high effects.

  Rotary vibration is also known as three dimensional vibrations : vibration trajectory of the vibrating body projected on the horizontal plane is a circle or an ellipse, the vibration form known as the rotary vibration. This kind of vibration sieve was known as the rotary vibration sieve. Rotary vibration can be divided into flat rotary vibration, vortex type vibration and rotary type vibration in three forms. Projection vibration trajectory when the vibration body in a vertical plane is a horizontal line, the vibration form known as the swing type vibrating; Projection when the vibration body trajectory in a vertical plane is an inclined line, the vibration form known as the vortex vibration. Projection vibration trajectory when the vibration body in a vertical plane is a circle or an ellipse, the vibration form known as the rotary type vibration

  Usually produce rotary vibration by vibration equipment of vertical vibration motor excitation, the vibration form is depend on vertical vibration motor excitation at both ends of the fixed block angle. Two foot mounting type vibration motors can also be installed in two sides of vibration equipment, and the rotating shaft in a set angle, vibration equipment will also produce rotary vibration.

What should We Note during the Operation of Gyratory Screen

What is the Impact on Adjusting Vibration Motors Inclined Angle of Linear Vibrating Screen

Linear vibrating screen utilizes vibration motors as vibration power driving the material jump up on screen mesh and do linear movement. Besides, concerning the materials like crushed stone and sintered ore which are difficult to sieve, you can change the material residence time by adjusting the inclination angle of vibration motors according to the production requirements to achieve the purpose of higher screening performance, however, what should we do to adjust the vibration motors according to the needs? Today PK Machinery will introduce the impact on adjusting the motors inclined angle of linear vibrating screen:

1.When the vibration motors’s inclined angle is increased 
the horizontal stress of the materials on the screen will be decreased, the forward speed of the material will be decreased , the exciting force on the screen will be decreased, and all of these conditions will result in low screening efficiency and affect the screening effect. 

2.When the vibration motors’s inclined angle is decreased
the horizontal stress of the materials on the screen will be increased, the forward speed of the material will be increased as well . Although this can achieve in high screening efficiency, but it cannot achieve in good screening effect.

After few times of research work and lab testing by PK machinery’s engineer, the most efficient inclination angle of thevibration motors is at angle of 45 degrees which can make the vibration motors work in best performance by giving out high screening effect and efficiency.

Application Analysis of Calcium Carbonate Rotary Vibrating Screen

The sealing performance of calcium carbonate rotary vibrating screen is pretty good, non-blocking design and precise screening. Besides, you can also choose ultrasonic vibrating screen instead of common rotary vibrating screen in order to achieve more accurate screening performance, the screening accuracy even can reach 500 mesh.

 In the process of production of calcium carbonate, it mainly includes light calcium carbonate and heavy calcium carbonate, the production process of two kinds of calcium carbonate is the same during crushing and screening. When screening the calcium carbonate, the output rate is designed according to manufacturing production rate per hour, the screening amount is calculated as per the material amount after crushing, the general selection of material granularity is around 100 mesh and the main selection specification is 60 mesh, 80 mesh and 120 mesh etc. In addition, the mesh size is also selected according to the needs of users. In the process of screening, rotary vibrating screen is the best screening equipment, the screen mesh can be replaced with the previous required mesh size in order to achieve the screening requirements.
