| The Second Question |
After the first question, how much do they cost, everyone wants to know how much work will one of our Orbital Action Screening Plant do? A simple request begets a very wide variety of answers. I will list several factors, all with variable affect on the answers given. The most important factor, in my opinion, is management talent. If management focuses on site preparation, material preparation, machine setup and employee operating efficiencies, results should be very satisfactory. Other than setting the machine up level and near to the material to be screened, selecting the proper screen opening size is generally most important. It’s quite obvious that your customer has something in mind as to the acceptable particle size. Given that input, pick a screen opening size as large as possible while maintaining a suitable product. Two issues are in play here, first, larger openings will allow for a faster feed rate, and second blinding (plugging) of the screen is much less a factor. Additionally the Orbit Action Screening Plants have many variable speed and angle adjustments which may support either more through put or quality of cut. All adjustments are easy to accomplish with results immediate and easily observed. Operating instructions given on new machine delivery or in the manuals describe the procedures quite well. Use of the Performance Charts: Each chart offered has basic information about the machine and the materials being screened to realize the through put numbers given. Pick a chart that most closely describes your local conditions, read the numbers and use them as guide lines to begin calculating your estimated operational results. Be sure to read and observe the assumptions offered to better interpolate your potential results. Next week I will offer a calculator for your use in project and ownership profit planning.
