A sieving machine is a crucial piece of equipment for separating particles based on their size. But what exactly makes up this machine? Here’s a detailed look at the 10 essential components that work together to ensure efficient and effective sieving.
10 essential parts of a sieving machine explained
1. Sieve or Screen
This is the heart of the sieving machine. It’s typically made of stainless steel woven wire mesh. The mesh has varying opening sizes, which are crucial for separating particles based on their size. The mesh is held in place by a screen frame.
2. Screen Frame
This is a circular metal ring that holds the mesh in place. It can be made of stainless steel or brass and comes in various standard sizes depending on the region. The frame ensures the stability and proper positioning of the mesh during the sieving process.
3. Motor
The motor is the powerhouse of the sieving machine. It provides the necessary power to operate the machine. It drives the mechanisms that cause the shaking or vibrating motion of the sieve, which is essential for the separation of particles.
4. Timer Switch Device
This device is like the brain of the sieving process. It controls the duration of the sieving process, allowing for precise timing based on the material being sieved and the desired outcome.
5. Transmission Gear and Eccentric Wheel
These components transmit the power from the motor to the main shaft, which in turn drives the eccentric wheel. The eccentric wheel is responsible for the side-to-side shaking motion of the sieve.
6. Slap Hammer and Stroke Adjustment Rod
These parts are specific to certain types of sieving machines, like the standard slap sieve. The slap hammer provides additional motion that helps in the sieving process, while the stroke adjustment rod controls the force of the hammer, allowing for adjustments based on the material being sieved.
7. Sieve Frame Tray
This tray holds the sieve frame and can be adjusted in height to accommodate different sieve frames with varying mesh numbers. It ensures that the material being sieved is properly distributed across the sieve surface.
8. Base and Support Structure
The base provides stability to the entire machine. The support structure, including vertical and horizontal rods, holds the sieve cradle and other moving parts in place.
9. Dust Cover and Feed Inlet
These components are found in certain types of sieving machines, like the Rotal vibration sieve. They help manage the flow of material into the sieve and contain dust or debris generated during the sieving process.
10. Vibration Motor and Shock-Absorbing Springs
These elements are crucial for vibration sieves. They create the vibration necessary for the sieving process and help absorb the vibrations to protect the machine’s structure.
