This week we focus on Feeding Your Screen. Last week we noted “Time is Money” so this weeks question is, how may we best operate a screening plant efficiently. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that screening plant operating seconds spent with either too much or too little material on or in the screening element is wasted. Other than having a competent loader operator and good screening methodology, I believe the feeding method is most important ingredient affecting efficiency and quality of cut. I note that nearly all of the more expensive screening plants offerings have a capable feeder built into their system. I also note that nearly all of the lower priced screening plants available do not have a good method of continuously feeding a variable material.. Orbit screens with Orbital Action combines a good screening methodology and a good feeding system in an attractively priced machine throughout its product line. Let’s focus on our Model 63 and a typical box screen offering which includes a fines conveyor. The Model 63 is priced in the low $40’s while the typical box screen with a single conveyor is priced in the high $30’s. While the operating efficiency of the basic box screen is improved with the addition of a fines conveyor, feeding the screen deck remains lacking as does earning potential. The Model 63 which includes a very efficient, general purpose feeding system can give maximum production efficiency percentages with a high quality of cut for only a few more first cost dollars. Since “Time is Money” saving a few dollars on the purchase may cost a few more dollars every time you fire up to use your screening plant. Happy screening, Brad Schnittjer Blog # 23 7/20/2009 |
