A vibrating sieve is also known as a vibrating screen or vibratory separator. it is a device that separates, classifies, and screens materials according to particle sizes. It is widely utilized in a wide range of industries including mining, pharmaceuticals, food processing, chemical engineering, and many more.
These are the vibrating sieve’s major components as follows:
The screen deck is a platform on which the material for screening is in place. It is often constructed of wire mesh or perforated plates with precise hole sizes or patterns that allows smaller particles to pass through while trapping larger particles.
Vibrating Motor:
The vibrating sieve is equipped with one or more vibrating motors that generates vibrations to help the materials travel across the screen surface. These motors are normally positioned on the side or underneath the sieve and it depends on the design that produces a linear or circular motion.
The sieve frame provides a structural support for the screen deck as well as the vibrating motor(s). It is typically composed of steel or other robust materials that bears vibrations and strains during operation.
Feed Inlet and Discharge Outlet:
Openings or ports on the vibrating sieve allows the materials to enter the screen deck (feed inlet) and escape after separation (discharge outlet). Depending on the application and processing criteria, the size and placement of these slots may vary.
During this operation, the vibrating sieve separates particles based on their size using vibrations created by the motor. The “feed input” feeds the material into the screen deck, and the vibrations causes it to travel over the surface. Smaller particles are gathered and expelled via outlet, while bigger particles are held on the screen surface and conveyed to the discharge end.
To achieve numerous separations or classifications at the same time, vibrating sieves can be configured with different screen decks such as single-deck, double-deck, or multi-deck configurations. They can also be outfitted with extra features such as adjustable amplitude, variable speed, and various types of screens to satisfy the specific material properties and separation requirements.
Overall, the vibrating sieves are malleable and efficient particle separation and classification equipment utilized in a variety of sectors. They provide advantages such as high throughput, perfect separation, and the ability to handle a diverse spectrum of materials.
