How to choose drag-chain conveyor

The reasonable selection of scraper and chain depends on its structure form, chain pitch, scraper pitch and material of construction. When choosing, people should pay special attention to meet the requirements of production capacity, and make the scraper & chain have the adaptability to material.

1. Selection of Scraper Structure Form
The scraper structure form determines the transportation effect of buried scraper conveyor. It could get a good effect through the reasonable selection of scraper. Otherwise, the improper selection of scraper may cause poor transportation effect, even failure.

On the condition of meeting the adaptability to material, the selection principle is to choose the scraper simple in structure. In the specific use, the scraper can be chosen according to the material features (viscosity, suspension property and fluidity), conveyor trough width and conveyor arrangement form.

1) The material has good transportation property: the scraper in simple shape is preferred, such as T-type, V-type, U-type, etc.
The material has small internal friction coefficient, strong suspension property and high fluidity: complex shape scraper should be used, such as H-type.

2) The material has heavy viscosity, or the viscosity becomes big after the material moisture absorption: in order to reduce the material adhesion on the scraper, and unload and clean material easily, it is better to choose simple structure scraper, such as T-type, V-type, U-type, etc.

3) The material is easy to float chain: the scraper can be inclined position welded.

4) The trough width of buried scraper conveyor is smaller: it is appropriate to use simple shape scraper. When the material with large bulk density is transported in bigger conveyor trough, in order to increase the scraper rigidity, it is recommended to use O-type scraper with diagonal strut.

5) The buried scraper conveyor is horizontal installation: T-type, U-type or V-type scraper is generally used.
Conveyor vertical installation: V-type and U-type scrapers in outward form arrangement are usually chosen.
Z-type buried scraper conveyor: V-type scraper in inward form arrangement.
Ring-lock (MK type) buried scraper conveyor: V-type scraper in outward form arrangement.
Planar ring structure (MP type) buried scraper conveyor: L-type scraper in outward form arrangement.
Facade ring structure (ML type) buried scraper conveyor: V-type scraper in outward form arrangement.

What reasons lead to material accumulation phenomenon of vibrating screen?

Some customers said material accumulation phenomenon occurred in the use process of vibrating screen, according to many years of analysis experience, the reasons can be summed up in four aspects:
1.There is a problem of vibrating screen mesh selection, too small mesh will cause a low rate of material passing through the mesh.
2. Check whether the ground level of the vibrating screen is flat or not, besides,high material inlet will affect the material running track, resulting in material tilting to one side.

 

3.Check whether the screen mesh and outlet are horizontal or higher than outlet or not, under normal circumstances, it should be horizontal or 6mm higher, the design is not the same according to different material discharging outlet.
4.There is a problem on the vibration motor angle adjustment, improper angle adjustment of vibration motor will cause material accumulation, if the angle is small,the material will spread outward quickly on the sieve surface,while if the angle is large, the spreading speed will be slow. If you have strict requirements of screening accuracy, the angle can not be too small so as not to affect the screening precision. In general, the vibration motor angle of the vibrating screen is 45 degrees when leaves the factory.
Users can also change the vibration motor angle to 100 degrees according to the the special requirements of the material ,and then material will be concentrated to the central screen mesh. 

How to choose the suitable vibration motor for the vibration machine?

Vibration motor has many types and models with a wide application,it is usually applied with the feeder, vibrating screen combination. The vibration motor is very important in the vibration machine. It directly determines the working efficiency of the vibration machine.The vibration mechanical vibration motor selection steps are as follows:
A.According to the operating requirements, confirm the required vibration of the frequency (r/min) and the amplitude Ym (mm).
Such as the six vibration motor (n=960r /min) can drive the vibration chute, vibration feeder, vibration mill, vibrating screen etc.
B.According to the structure of the vibration machine itself, get the vibration weight G (kg) and calculate the required vibration force Fm (N) .
C.According to the vibration of the operation to get Fm, you can get the model of the vibration motor, please pay attention to the exciting force FH is larger than Fm.
D.Design the overall structure, and calculate the actual vibration parameters, after the calculation, if the vibration motor is too large or too small, motor model should be re-selected.
E.Design of vibration isolation system.

Installation notice of circular vibrating screen punching mesh

General screen meshes include manganese steel woven wire mesh, punching mesh and stainless steel screen plate etc. Each kind mesh should be selected according to the on-site working condition. Today we will talk about the installation of punching screen mesh.
The punching screen mesh installation method for circular vibrating screen is the same with dewatering screen.
Generally speaking, the slurry dewatering screen is horizontally installed,however, in order to guarantee the application effect, the screen mesh is installed with a negative angle. The screen mesh can be polyurethane material with tension type installation, or stainless steel bar screen mesh with compression type to meet different working conditions.

Circular vibrating screen is installed with angle, when adopt the punching screen mesh, it needs lumps of wood to press tightly, then tension with wood key . Please see the following sketch: 
If the screen mesh tension is not enough, it will bring negative influence:
1.The screen mesh is easy to bend and the screen mesh will slack and easy to revibrate. Meanwhile it will reduce the screen mesh service life. 
2.It will influence the effective screen surface, reduce the screening efficiency.
3.It will stop the material moving forward and reduce the capacity.
In this regard,in order to guarantee the smooth screen mesh , increase the service life and guarantee the capacity and screening efficiency, the tension of screen mesh must be improved.

Improve dry or wet screening efficiency of vibrating screen

Following methods can improve screening efficiency of vibrating screen:

1.For dry screening,we should strictly control the water content,for material with high water content,please consider screening with ingredients.
2.Reduce the of plugged hole,we can consider using the self-cleaning sieve plate,for example,for spring rod type screen mesh surface,we can add a prevent blockage device below the screen.
3.Improve the aperture percentage,high aperture percentage is beneficial to improve the screening effect.
4.Adjust the feeding way.Material can be fed according to the sieve surface width and ensure the sieve surface can be fully utilized.
5.If possible,please consider the dip angle of the screen machine,suitable angle is beneficial to reduce the thickness of material and achieve thin material screening.
6.For circular vibrating screen,we can consider adjusting the balance weight to improve the screening effect.
7.If possible, coarse screening before feeding material.
8.If possible, we can adopt wet screening,it’s the most effective way to improve the screening effect. 

What Factors that Affect the Screw Conveyor Conveying Efficiency ?

The factors are listed as follows:
1.The material has great viscosity and is easy to agglomerate. 
The viscous material is easy to stick on the screw blade and the inner wall of the screw conveyor, which will increase the resistance in the process of conveying, and directly affect the production efficiency.
2.The diameter size of the screw pipe.
Under the same conditions, conveying efficiency of the screw conveyor with larger diameter is higher than the conveyor with small diameter.

3.The dip angle and transportation distance of screw conveyor.
4.The particle size, temperature, moisture, abrasion and corrosion of the material.
Specific parameters can refer to: Screw conveyors and conveying technical parameters calculation formulas.
5.The rotate speed of the screw conveyor.
The rotating speed of the screw conveyor is related to the power of conveyor motor . The working speed of screw conveyor has a close relationship with the material characteristics. High speed screw conveyor requires strict assembly, and demands a better balance.
