FEEDING AND DISCHARGING CONNECTIONS
Feed material... Sponge Media™ must be fed in the center of screening sur-
face. This is one of key factor in utilizing the unit to its full potential. Failure to
do so will result in excessive wear to a particular section of the screen which
will result in premature screen failure. Failure to feed Sponge Media in center
of screening surface will result in poor efficiency and reduce production.
Depth of feed material... If Sponge Media is being fed to the unit at too fast a
rate, some is apt to "ride over". The result can be poor efficiency. To make most
efficient use of vibrating screen, limit feed rate to where the greatest amount
of material can be placed in a position of direct contact with screen (at which
point there is the most concentrated vibratory impulse). Further, a heavy feed
can pound near-size particles into screen, making it difficult for vibration
to dislodge them. Eventually, overloading unit this will result in plugging of
screen openings and drastically reduce efficiency.
Discharge chute or hopper should be located to receive every particle from the
unit. In general, feeding and discharge connections should have minimum of
2" (51 mm) clearance to frame of unit to prevent any contact.
BASIC FEED CRITERIA:
1. Material is fed to center of screen at a continuous rate.
2. On no account should a column of material be allowed to form, or material
be allowed to drop from any height greater than 12" (305 mm) onto screen.
3. Stop feed and allow material to run through before turning it off. This helps
to prevent strain on unit.
