How to Adjust Parameters for a Vibrating Screen

The vibrating screen achieves its screening function through vibration, making the proper setting of vibration parameters crucial.

(1) Vibration Frequency
The vibration frequency determines the speed and frequency at which the material moves and flips on the screen surface.

If the frequency is too low, the material moves slowly across the screen, extending the screening time and possibly failing to flip adequately, resulting in incomplete separation of materials.
If the frequency is too high, the material may be thrown off the screen too quickly, missing precise screening before falling.

The vibration frequency should be adjusted based on the material's properties (such as particle size and density) and the screen's specifications to ensure the material moves sufficiently across the screen and achieves accurate screening.

(2) Amplitude
The amplitude affects the height and distance the material jumps and is thrown on the screen surface.

Proper amplitude allows the material to form good stratification on the screen, separating particles of different sizes as intended.
If the amplitude is too small, stratification will be insufficient, leading to poor screening performance.
If the amplitude is too large, the material may jump off the screen, causing material loss and unnecessary stress or damage to the equipment.

Through repeated testing and adjustments, the optimal amplitude value can be determined.

(3) Vibration Direction Angle
The vibration direction angle determines the movement trajectory of the material on the screen surface.

Different materials and screening requirements may need varying vibration direction angles.
Properly set, the material can move along the ideal path on the screen surface, ensuring efficient screening.
If the vibration direction angle is unsuitable, the material's movement trajectory will become disorganized, reducing screening accuracy and efficiency.

By carefully adjusting these parameters, the vibrating screen can achieve optimal performance for precise and efficient material screening.
