Dissolving agglomerates efficiently
When processing bulk solids, agglomerates can occur that impair the production process.
How can they be separated or dissolved as efficiently as possible?
Among other alternatives, agglomerates can either be separated with sieving technology or dissolved with the help of passing sieves. This depends mainly on how solid the agglomerates are or how difficult it is to separate the adhering product particles from each other.
Passing screens are used when the product to be processed tends to compact. This interferes with further processing in downstream production stages and has a quality-reducing effect.
These screening machine, such as the JEL PS passing screen, use a rotor with passing bars to pick up the lumpy product and pass it through the screen mesh. The product falls out below the screen in the desired degree of fragmentation and can be conveyed to the following processing stage.
Features of the JEL PS passing sieve machine:
Individual fine adjustment
In order to be even more flexible when screening and crushing agglomerated bulk solids, the rotating passing bars are adjustable. The distance between the bars and the sieve mesh can be reduced or increased – depending on the individual characteristics of the batch.
Easy handling
The entire sieve basket can be extracted from the front of the straining machine in a few easy steps. This makes it easier for the operator to access the inside of the housing for cleaning and maintenance.
Safety is a must
Safety has also been taken into account: the pull-out mechanism is secured with a limit switch. This prevents operators from extracting the screen basket while the machine is in operation.
Proper tightness
To reduce emissions to a minimum, the interfaces are equipped with PTFE seals. This keeps the process clean and the operating personnel are not exposed to dust.
Easy to clean
Air barrier rings with gap flushing were used for the rotor bearings. Product residues that negatively affect the service life of the rotor bearing and the seal can thus be easily flushed out.
