How to Select Vibrating Screen for Mineral?

Vibrating Screen is one kind of large mining machinery, which is the key production device in mining and metallurgy industries

Vibrating Screen is one kind of large mining machinery, which is the key production device in mining and metallurgy industries. How to choose the suitable machine to realize the production requirement and reduce the investment cost in the equipment to achieve the maximized economic benefit. We sum up below information that should pay attention when choosing a vibrating screen and analyze some misunderstandings of choosing the machine. Below is the reference provided by Luoyang Dahua Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd on how to choose the right vibrating screen. 

How to Choose the Suitable Vibrating Screen?

1. Options of Mining Vibrating Screen – Production Capacity. The vibrating screen production capacity should match with the integral production line when selecting the vibrating screen for mineral. Vibrating screen is only a small procedure within the whole production line. Vibrating screen’s production requirement should bigger than the design capacity of the system. If we choose vibrating screen with small production output that may limit the performance of the whole system. But choose much bigger machine is also not practical due to the vast investment cost on equipment purchasing. If customers want to increase production capacity in the future then the production capacity of the vibrating screen should also increase accordingly. 

2. Options of Mining Vibrating Screen – Maintainability. As is known, machinery break down is inevitable. With the wearing of some device, some component may aging accordingly, which may need professional staff to maintain the machine and reduce the lost caused by downtime. For those giant vibrating screen applied in mining industry, the maintenance of such machines is quite complicate. So when choose the vibrating screen, it is better to choose the ones with traits like decent reliability, convenient maintenance that may facilitate the inspection of the machine in the future.

3. Option of Mining Vibrating Screen – Reliability. Equipment reliability is not only the guarantee of long-term operation, but also the foundation of maintain the enterprises normal production. The users choose types of mining vibrating screen is mainly according to the actual situation, choose the vibrating screen with good reliability and easy maintenance, which can ensure a long time running and reduce the equipment downtime.

4. Option of Mining Vibrating Screen – Commonality. Mining vibrating screen is a kind of high-efficiency screening equipment, is also a kind of general equipment, but that doesn't mean they can be applied in all situations, selecting suitable models are mainly according to the specific parameters of material, such as some use for screening and some use for removing impurity, and some use for filtration dehydration separation, different purposes choose different models, types and screen meshes, so the user need to distinguish purpose when considering.

5. Option of Mining Vibrating Screen – Energy-saving. When selecting the equipment, except for meeting the production needs, also should considering the energy saving of equipment, at the same time, reducing the production cost of enterprises also is one considered factor.

6. Option of Mining Vibrating Screen – Applicability. Different industries have different material, when equipment selection, need to think about more if selection of vibrating screen can screen this material. Some materials contained certain viscosity, some material attached static electricity, which will effect the material screening results directly.

7. Options of Mining Vibrating Screen – Safety. Safety operation is not only the base for ensuring enterprise safety production, but also the precondition to guarantee personal safety. The protection level of large scale vibrating screen that applied in mining industry should meet the rule of safety specification and conform to national safety standard. For example, the vibration source of mining vibration screen – vibration motor, which should meet the requirement of anti-hazard classification when used in chemical industry. Some small vibration screen used in food industry should meet food safety level, the materials that adopted to make the machine must choose stainless steel.

8. Options of Mining Vibrating Screen – Eco-friendly. The large scale vibrating screen applied in mining industry normally uses large vibration motor or the machine generates large noise and dust during working process, which will seriously affect the surrounding environment. This requires us to take good protection measures to reduce environment pollution.

The selection of mining vibrating screen is not simply to choose, we should consider customer site, associated equipment to choose the appreciate model to reduce fund waste.
