A rubber chemicals manufacturing company screened powders as part of the production process. Following are some technical features which include: by incorporating this cost effective, yet simple device, lump formation during screening was significantly reduced, the quality was considerably improved and the production capacity was increased by 12%. The lump breaking device is driven by the action of the vibro screen and does not need an additional power source.
Some of the general feaures of these lumps include: during the screening operation, lumps were forming on top of the mesh and not passing through the apertures. This resulted in poor quality product and reduced output. The lumps could be easily broken by hand. The customer needed a system to do this automatically at minimum cost. To resolve this problem, the company approached gala screening solutions [gsspl]. Gsspl`s solution was to provide a vibro screen and a lump breaking device, which moves over the mesh as the machine vibrates, crushing the lumps, so they become small enough to be screened. This meant that more material passed through the mesh, increasing the yield of screened powder. For specific screening requirements and customisation,gsspl is a name one can rely on.
