To ensure our long-term and ongoing health, today´s doctors recommend an annual clinic visit for a routine check-up. Goal of the medical examination is usually a heart rate reading, blood pressure check and a blood analysis. All these tests are indicators for our good health.
Have you ever thought how to ensure the “health” of your vibrating screen? Impossible you say - Not at all. |
|
| First, it is essential to understand why a healthy screen is important. The reasons are very simple. A well functioning vibrating screen: |
|
Ensures a high screening efficiency
Minimizes down time
Allows for scheduling of repair intervals avoiding time and profit losses
Minimizes repair costs
|
|
Secondly, the “health” indicators must be defined. In the case of a screening deck these are usually stroke, amplitude, rpm and g-forces.
Thirdly, the health indicators must be measured. Tools for such measurements range from the "sticky-note” method to expensive rpm or amplitude measurement devices. But the combination of all this information in a simple and reliable solution for the customer was always the stumbling block for every vibrating screen manufacturer – until now. |
|
 Custom programmed by Tycan® Engineering, the system allows for easy “hook-up” of a lap-top computer to your vibrating screen on site by TYLER´s trained technicians. The measuring system features up to 8 accelerometer channels allowing a full scale screen performance analysis. |
|
 The information allows for on-screen display of orbit plots, peak-to-peak and average accelerations and displacements as well as RPM computing and FFT analysis. Based on the data the performance of vibrating screens can be evaluated in terms of proper speed and stroke. The determination of critical and developing faults such as bearing failures, spring problems, loose machine components or other are also possible.
The results of the tests are put into a valuable and easy to understand customer report. This document not only outlines the analyzed data, but also makes recommendations on how to improve screen performance based on different settings or new parts.
Of course the “TYCAN® - Doctors” make house calls to patients of all makes and are not limited to TYCAN® vibrating screens. So let the next time you visit the doctor for your annual check-up remind you to think about the health of your vibrating screen. |
