Tumbler screening technique

An improvement on vibration, vibratory, and linear screeners, a

tumbler screener uses elliptical action which aids in screening of even very
fine material. As like panning for gold, the fine particles tend to stay towards
the center and the larger go to the outside. It allows for segregation and
unloads the screen surface so that it can effectively do its job. With the
addition of multiple decks and ball cleaning decks, even difficult products
can be screened at high capacity to very fine separations.
It is a separation method that applies an elliptical movement in three
dimensions, which helps to efficiently produce very fine materials. It can be
considered an improvement to the vibration and linear screeners.[2] The basic
principle for the machines with tumbler screening technique is that the fine
particles stay on the center of the screen desk while larger particles move
towards to the edges. Furthermore, by adding more desks and cleaning desk
to the machine, it can obtain even more high-quality separations.

Applications
Metallurgy, Chemical, food and spice, platic, minerals, pharma, wood and
plywood, rubber, feed, fertilizer, sugar and salt, renewable industries etc.

Circle-throw vibrating equipment

Circle-Throw Vibrating Equipment is a shaker or a series of shakers as

to where the drive causes the whole structure to move. The structure
extends to a maximum throw or length and then contracts to a base state. A
pattern of springs are situated below the structure to where there is vibration
and shock absorption as the structure returns to the base state.
This type of equipment is used for very large particles, sizes that range
from pebble size on up to boulder size material. It is also designed for high
volume output. As a scalper, this shaker will allow oversize material to pass
over and fall into a crusher such a cone crusher, jaw crusher, or hammer
mill. The material that passes the screen by-passes the crusher and is
conveyed and combined with the crush material.
Also this equipment is used in washing processes, as material passes
under spray bars, finer material and foreign material is washed through the
screen. This is one example of wet screening.
They are widely used for screening quarry stone stock and classifying
products in mining, sand, gold, energy and chemical industrial processes.

The targeted substance is predominantly finer particles, which can then be

directed into a separation unit, such as a hydrocyclone or are materials that

can be removed and used. Removed materials are often formed intentionally
and are classified by their shape, size and physical properties. For example,
construction wastes are sorted and sieved by a circular vibrating screen into
coarse and fine particles. The particles are taken to make concrete,
architectural bricks and road base materials.

High frequency vibrating equipment

High frequency vibrating equipment is a shaker whose frame is fixed

and the drive vibrates only the screen cloth. High frequency vibration
equipment is for particles that are in this particle size range of an 1/8 in
(3 mm) down to a +150 mesh.
These shakers usually make a secondary cut for further processing or make a
finished product cut.
These shakers are usually set at a steep angle relative to the horizontal level
plane. Angles range from 25 to 45 degrees relative to the horizontal level
plane.
High frequency screens have become more standardized and widely
adopted in materials classification processes. It allows efficient cuts and fine
separations, which can provide high purity and precise sizing control of the
product (for sizes of fine particles up to 0.074-1.5mm). Common industrial
applications include dewatering of materials, processing of powder in coal,
metallurgy, ores and minerals, wood pelleting, fractionated reclaimed
asphalt pavement, food, pharmaceutical and chemical industry. Fineness of
the products and system capacities varies over a huge range between
different models, to satisfy individual application requirements.

Gyratory equipment

Used in mechanical screening and sieving is based on a circular motion of the

machine. Unlike other methods, gyratory screen operates in a gentler manner and is
more suited to handle fragile products, enabling it to produce finer products. This
method is applicable for both wet and dry screening.
A distinct difference to other techniques is that the gyratory motion applied here
depends on eccentric weights instead of vibrations, which can be varied based on
individual process requirement.
Common applications include separation used in the process industry, food
industry, chemical industry and pharmaceuticals. This includes screening, classification,
sifting, fiber recovery, filtration, and scalping. Gyratory screening is capable of
separating finer materials as compared to other methods, and is therefore more suitable
to treat fragile materials

Process - Processing ceramics, pulp and paper mill, paints, sand, starch slurry
Food - Screening of refined table salt, papaya cubes, turmeric pigment;

clarification of alkaline extracts

Chemical - Screening hydrate lime, effluent overflow from hydrocyclone;
classification of polyester beads, anhydrous aluminium chloride

Trommel Screens
Trommel screens have a rotating drum with screen panels around the diameter of
the drum and is on a shall angle. The feed material always sits at the bottom of the
drum and as it rotates, always comes into contact with clean screen. The oversize
travels to the end of the drum as it does not pass through the screen, while the
undersize passes through the screen into a launder below.
It is also known as rotary screen, is an essential unit which is used mainly in
the mineral and solid-waste processing industries. It consists of a perforated cylindrical
drum which is normally elevated at an angle at the feed end. Physical size separation is
achieved as the feed material spirals down the rotating drum, where the undersized
material smaller than the screen apertures passes through the screen, while the
oversized material exits at the other end of the drum.
Trommel screens are cheaper to produce than vibrating screens. They are
vibration free which causes less noise than vibrating screens. Trommel screens are more
mechanically robust than vibrating screens allowing it to last longer under mechanical
stress.
