In mining equipment, all vibrating screens use some form of kinetic excitation. Linearly casting ore up and forward, freely vibrating screens use a simple excitation mechanism, plus gravity to move material, at which point the undersize is processed and the screening operation continues. Sets of springs reinforce the linear movement. Opting out of this linear […]
Rich in combustible carbon, mountains of coal once powered the steam engines that energized the industrial revolution. Even today, Australians enjoy their home comforts because 73% of all generated electrical power comes from this burnable mineral. Down below the ground, deep inside an underground mine, that coal seam sure is kicking up a lot of […]
When differently sized mineral loads need dynamic sorting, mining equipment manufacturers are on-site to recommend a best-in-class solution. The company representative talks about vibrating screens, but there’s no end to the different options. Working on contrasting operational principles, the list of equipment includes flywheels and counterbalances, plus scores of other potential configurations. Let’s hustle on […]
Brute force vibrating pan feeders are extraordinarily robust. Just look at the large horsepower motors, the steel-reinforced feeder troughs, and the larger-than-life springs. They’re built tough, as heavy machinery marketers like to say. All the same, it only takes an exceptionally heavy shock load, moving at speed, to cause damage. Now, limping along, the equipment’s […]
Built from extra heavy-duty parts, with materials that are as durable as they are flawlessly designed, vibrating grizzly feeders chew their way through first-cut discharges of boulder-like rock. Its frame is steel-reinforced, made from I-beams that support a vibrating frame. Strangely enough, that frame doesn’t come in contact with the feeder bucket; there’s a group […]
