Circular tumbler screens are renowned for their efficient and precise screening capabilities and are widely used in daily production screening and impurity removal. However, like any piece of mechanical equipment, reduced screening efficiency is inevitable during long-term, high-intensity production. Today, we'll discuss several common issues that can cause decreased circular tumbler screen efficiency and their solutions, enabling you to quickly diagnose and resolve them, ensuring continued efficient operation of your screening equipment.
1. Screen Clog
Cause: The material being screened is sticky, humid, or statically charged, clinging to the screen mesh, reducing the effective screening area.
Solution: Clean the screen thoroughly after shutting down the machine. For stubborn materials, use a soft brush or ultrasonic cleaner. Use a screen cleaning device to check for missing or inoperative bouncing balls and ensure they are moving freely. For highly viscous materials, consider installing an ultrasonic screen cleaning system. Adjust the screen. For woven screens, try installing a drag net underneath to provide greater support and impact resistance.
2. Uneven Feed or Excessive Flow
Cause: A sudden, excessive feed volume creates an excessively thick layer of material on the screen surface, leaving insufficient time and space for fine material to penetrate.
Solution: Adjust the upstream conveying equipment to ensure uniform, continuous, and appropriate feed.
3. Loose or Damaged Screen
Cause: The screen is not tensioned or has holes and wear, resulting in screening failure.
Solution: Stop the machine and immediately replace or re-tension the screen to ensure it is flat and wrinkle-free.
4. Mismatched Motor Angle (Amplitude)
Cause: The angle between the eccentric blocks at each end of the motor shaft is too large (small amplitude), resulting in slow material dispersion and conveying speed; too small an angle (large amplitude), resulting in short material residence time.
Solution: Consult a professional technician to refer to the equipment manual and adjust the angle of the motor eccentric blocks to find the amplitude that best suits the current material.
