VIBROSCREEN
CIRCULAR VIBRATORY SCREENERS
For sifting, scalping, classifying, de-dusting and dewatering of powder and bulk solids

Sift, Scalp, De-dust, Dewater or Classify Virtually Any Bulk Solid or Slurry
Adjustable Flow Patterns
Flow patterns of material can be fine tuned for screening efficiency by repositioning the bottom eccentric weight relative to the top eccentric weight.

0 (In Phase)

30 Out of Phase
Material spirals slightly from the center to periphery, increasing retention time. Recommended for general purpose screening.

Principle of Operation
The main screening assembly of a Kason screener is suspended on rugged springs that allow it to vibrate freely while minimizing power consumption and preventing vibration transmission to the floor. The assembly is equipped with one imbalanced-weight gyratory motor that creates multi-plane inertial vibration for the purpose of controlling the flow path of material on screen surfaces, and maximizing the rate at which material passes through the screen. Material is fed onto the center of the screen, causing particles larger than screen apertures to travel across the screen surface in controlled pathways, and exit through a discharge spout located at the screens periphery, while particles smaller than screen apertures pass through the screen onto a lower screen or exit through a lower discharge spout. Single-deck screeners are generally utilized for scalping or sifting (removing a small percentage of oversize material through the upper discharge spout), for de-dusting (removing a small percentage of undersize material through the lower discharge spout), or for dewatering (removing liquid through the lower discharge spout). Multi-deck screeners (two-deck shown) are generally utilized for classifying of particles in three to five predetermined sizes, or when equipped with integral KASCADE screening decks (see page 7), for increasing the capacity of a screener without increasing its diameter.

From a central feed, material flows to screen periphery in a straight line.

45 Out of Phase
Material flows from center in a distinct spiral pattern, further increasing retention time. Recommended for classification of particles and screening of wet material.

90 Out of Phase
Prevents oversize material from discharging.

Separating Solids from Solids
(sifting, de-dusting and classifying)

Separating Solids from Liquids

(dewatering, clarifying and liquid scalping)

Gravity-fed and in-line pneumatic models Kason offers VIBROSCREEN configurations for three types of solidssolids separation: 1. Sifting (also called scalping or bolting): Separating a small percentage of oversize solids from a large percentage of on-size solids 2. De-Dusting: Separating a small percentage of undersize solids from a large percentage of on-size solids 3. Classifying: Separating solids into two or more particle size fractions These screeners operate on a batch or continuous basis at rates from several pounds/kilograms to 70 tons per hour, separating thousands of powder and bulk solid materials such as:
ABS RESINS ABRASIVES ACTIVATED CARBON ADDITIVES ADIPIC ACID AGAR ALMONDS ALUMINA ALUMINUM PRODUCTS ANIMAL FEEDS ASH ASPHALT BAGASSE BAUXITE BENTONITE BLEACH BORIC ACID BREAD CRUMBS BUILDING PRODUCTS CALCIUM CARBONATE CALCIUM STEARATE CARBON BLACK CAT LITTER CELLULOSE CERAMIC POWDERS CEREAL CHEESE POWDER CHLORIDES COCOA POWDER COFFEE (GROUND) DIATOMACEOUS EARTH DETERGENTS EPOXY RESINS FERRITES FERTILIZERS FISH MEAL FLAVORINGS FLOUR FLY ASH FOUNDRY SAND FRAGRANCES FUSED SILICA GLASS (CRUSHED) GLUTIN GRAINS GRAPHITE GRIT/SHOT BEADS GYPSUM IRON OXIDE LACTOSE METAL POWDERS MILK POWDERS NITRATES NON-DAIRY CREAMER NUTRITIONAL POWDERS NUTS PERLITE PET COKE PHARMACEUTICAL POWDERS PIGMENTS PLASTIC BEADS PLASTIC COMPOUNDS PLASTIC POWDERS PLASTIC PELLETS PLASTIC REGRIND PLASTIC RESINS POTASH POTATO FLAKES POWDER COATING PROTEIN POWDERS RAISINS RICE SALT SAWDUST SEEDS SILICA GEL SILICATES SILICON CARBIDE SPICES STARCH SOAP SOUP MIX STUCCO SUGAR SUPER ABSORBENT POLYMER (SAP) TEA PURIFIED TEREPHTHALIC ACID (PTA) TITANIUM DIOXIDE TONER TUNGSTEN CARBIDE VITAMIN POWDERS WOOD CHIPS WOOD FLOUR

Gravity-fed models only VIBROSCREEN separators are engineered for three types of solidsliquids separation: 1. Dewatering: Separating a small to medium percentage of liquid from a large percentage of solids 2. Clarifying: Separating a small percentage of solids from a large percentage of liquids 3. Liquid scalping: Separating a small percentage of oversize solids from a large percentage of on-size solids in a slurry These screeners operate on a batch or continuous basis at rates from one to 2000 gallons (9200 liters) per minute, separating solids from thousands of liquids such as:
APPLE CIDER BLOOD BREWERY WASTE WATER BRINE CANNERY WASTE WATER CHOCOLATE LIQUOR CLAY SLURRY COAGULANTS COOKING OIL CORN MILLING CRANBERRIES CURD/WHEY DRILLING MUD FISH WASTER WATER FRUIT JUICE FRUIT WASHING RECYCLE WATER GLUE GOLD MINE SLURRY HONEY ICE CREAM INDUSTRIAL WASTE WATER ION EXCHANGE RESIN SLURRY IRRIGATION RECYCLE WATER LACTOSE SLURRY LATEX LAUNDRY WASTE WATER LIME SLURRY SILVER MINE SLURRY OIL PROCESSING PAINT PALM OIL PAPER COATING PLASTIC FINES AND RECYCLED WATER PLASTIC PELLETS AND WATER POULTRY WASTE WATER PULP AND PAPER SOY SLURRY STARCH SLURRY SEWAGE TAPIOCA STARCH TITANIUM DIOXIDE SLURRY TOFU SLURRY VEGETABLES VEGETABLE PEELING/ WASHING RECYCLE WATER VEGETABLE OIL PROCESSING WINE YEAST SLURRY

Removing Solidified Latex From Rinsewater

The rinsewater from daily cleaning of tank trucks hauling liquid latex contained 8% solidified latex, incurring high sewage disposal costs and concerning environmentalists. By installing a 48 in. (1220 mm) VIBROSCREEN single-deck, circular vibratory screener with a 105 mesh screen, the hauler reduced solids content by 50% at the rate of 158 gal/min (598 l/min) saving $2000 to $3000 per month in sewage costs, and winning state and local ecological awards.

Classifying Pelletized HDPE

After a successful 10-year experience scalping and de-dusting high density polyethylene 24/7 with two 72 in. (1829 mm) diameter VIBROSCREEN Pellet Classifiers, this major resin producer installed four morethis time to replace four competitive screeners that were breaking down at a second and third extrusion train. Each of the six Kason classifiers can scalp and de-dust 27.5 tons/h of pellets 0.125 in. (3.18 mm) in length and diameter. 100 in. (2540 mm) models can handle 70 tons/h.

Screening Liquid Biological Fertilizer

A manufacturer of liquid biological fertilizer boosted throughput of a circular vibratory separator 250 to 300% by retrofitting it with a 360 discharge KASCADE deck, eliminating a restrictive buildup of rope-like sludge at the screens periphery. The 60 in. (1524 mm) diameter separator now screens 9000 gal/day (34,000 l/day) versus 3000 to 4500 gal (11,350 to 17,000 l) previously, while saving 9 hours of labor per week formerly needed to remove, cleanse, and replace the screen deck.

Sifting Dental Lab Scraps

A precious metals company was hand sifting paper towel shreds, paper clips, plaster and plastics from dental laboratory waste containing particles of silver, gold, platinum and palladium. A 24 in. (610 mm) diameter VIBROSCREEN classifier now separates unusable pieces >10 mesh from 2 size fractions to be smelted: 10 to 40 mesh particles, and <40 mesh dust. Time to classify 50 to 100 lb (22.7 to 45.4 kg) batches dropped from 120 to 30 minutes, helping the foundry double business and pay for the equipment in 9 months.

Screening a Granular Chemical

The manufacturer of a proprietary chemical product pre-screens granular carrier using a 48 in. (1220 mm) diameter, twodeck VIBROSCREEN separator, then combines it with an active ingredient and a filler. Following a conversion process, the product is dried using a 48 in. (1220 mm) diameter circular fluid bed dryer, after which an integral 48 in. (1220 mm) diameter, two-deck VIBROSCREEN separator (see page 6) removes (oversize) agglomerates and (undersize) fines at the rate of 2000 lb/h (907 kg/h).

Screening a Million Tons of Clay

A Kason in-line PNEUMATI-SIFTER VIBROSCREEN circular vibratory separator (see page 7) has screened over one million tons of clay over 25 years without an equipment failure at this 190-year manufacturer of stoneware products. The system moves raw materials from any of ten 50 ft (15 m) high silos containing clay, silica, alumina, lime and other ingredients through a pneumatic conveying system to a central weigh hopper that meters 600 lbs/min (272 kg/min) of material into the 60 in. (1525 mm) diameter sifter.

Screening Soy Concentrate

Soybeans are de-hulled, washed and crushed after which juice is extracted, screened, filtered, pasteurized and chilled. A 48 in. (1220 mm) diameter circular vibratory screener removes particles larger than 0.00465 in. (118 microns) from soy juice at the rate of 1267 gal/h (4800 l/h) using a tough, market-grade stainless steel wire mesh that can be highly tensioned to increase shear. The screener is cleaned hourly using integral clean-in-place nozzles, and disassembled for thorough wash down every 24 hours.

Classifying Recycled Glass Particles

An innovative recycling plant turns glass containers into profitable products by shattering the glass, grinding it into particles that have no sharp edges, and then separating the particles into five size fractions at the rate of 3 tons/h using a VIBROSCREEN classifier (see page 6). The top screen scalps pieces of glass 0.51 in. (13 mm), along with residual rubbish, and the other screens sequentially separate out glass particles 0.39 in. (10 mm), 0.24 in. (6 mm) and 0.12 in. (3 mm). Dust is collected at the bottom.

Classifying Abrasive Granules

A manufacturer of ferrotitanium, an abrasive additive for steel, overcame the capacity limitation and wear problems of an existing mild steel, 48 in. dia (1220 mm dia) unit, with a stainless steel, 60 in. dia (1520 mm dia) two-deck VIBROSCREEN classifier (see page 6) that removes oversize particles at the discharge spout of the upper screen, on-size particles at the spout of the lower screen, and undersize particles from the base of the chamber at the rate of 1200 to 1500 lb/h (544 to 680 kg/h).

Sifting Granular Flour

A dried pasta producer improved capacity and consistency by installing a VIBROSCREEN 48 in. (1220 mm) diameter screener in-line with a pneumatic conveying system (see page 7). Durum granular flour containing 1 to 4% of regrind is metered by a rotary airlock valve into the screener at the rate of 2000 lb/h (907 kg/h) where it is sifted to 0.0059 to 0.0234 in. (150 to 595 microns). On-size material is discharged through a second rotary airlock valve into a pneumatic line that feeds storage tanks.

Scalping and De-dusting Compounds

The worlds largest independent compounder of cellulosics gained 84 sq ft (7.8 sq m) of floor space by replacing six 2 ft x 7 ft (610 x 2134 mm) rectangular screeners, with twodeck 24 in. (610 mm) diameter VIBROSCREEN separators (see page 6). The upper deck screens oversize pellets, the lower deck captures on-size pellets (typically 0.125 in. [3 mm] in diameter) and dust falls onto a sloping lower pan that discharges through a spout at rates to 2000 lb/h (907 kg/h).

Sifting Ground Coffee

A leading coffee producer installed 28 VIBROSCREEN separators to remove chaff and oversize particles from ground coffee prior to packaging. Each 40 in. (1016 mm) diameter screener is equipped with an 8 mesh upper screen and a 10 mesh lower screen, and has a capacity of 3500 lbs/h (1588 kg/h), allowing the plant to screen and package coffee at a rate of 98,000 lb/h (44,452 kg/h). The screeners meet sanitary requirements, and are equipped with quick-disconnect clamp ring assemblies.

Specialized Screeners

Multi-Deck Classifiers
Separate a feed stream into precise segments Kason VIBROSCREEN separators with multiple screening decks (three-deck shown) are generally utilized for classifying of particles in three to five precise particle sizes from 2 in. (5 cm) to 500 mesh (25 microns). Available with a variety of anti-blinding devices, they handle dry, moist, lumpy, stringy and otherwise difficult-to-handle bulk material on a batch or continuous basis.

Designs for Quick Screen Changes, Inspection

Kason offers two innovative ways to separate the frame sections of any circular vibratory screener, allowing screen changes, interior cleaning and inspection in less time and with greater convenience than possible with competitive systems. One entire raise/lower cycle including disconnection and reconnection of the frames, requires only several minutes, reducing downtime and allowing one operator to perform what was previously a two-person task, depending on screen diameter. Both systems can be used on screeners having single- or multiple-decks and screens with or without center holes and/or anti-blinding devices.

Designs for Sanitary Applications

All VIBROSCREEN circular vibratory screeners from 18 to 100 in. (460 to 2540 mm) in diameter are available designed, constructed and finished to industrial, food, dairy and pharmaceutical standards including FDA, 3-A, USDA, BISSC and others. Sanitary screeners generally incorporate rounded corners, continuous ground and polished welds, domed lids, quick-release U clamps, and 4-post open bases with stainless steel motor enclosures allowing thorough wash down of the underside and plant floor. In addition, these screeners can be configured with AIR-LIFT or Clamshell devices for quick screen changes and wash down (described at left), and with gap-free screen frames and/or Clean-In-Place cleaning nozzles as follows:

AIR-LIFT Design

Gap-Free Design

SHOWN WITH OPTIONAL AIR CYLINDER COVERS

DETAIL SHOWN IN CLOSED POSITION

Kasons AIR-LIFT design consists of two vertically-mounted air cylinders located on opposing sides of the screener and affixed to mounting brackets on the lower and upper screening frames. To raise the upper frame, band clamps or quick-disconnect clamps connecting the frames are removed/released and a remote air valve is actuated. A safety lock-out secures the frames in the open or closed position when the upper screener housing is raised or lowered, and safety bars prevent the housing from accidentally descending while in a fully-raised position during screen changes or wash down. The AIR-LIFT device is available on any new Kason screener, and can be retrofit to any circular vibratory screener of any make or model from 40 to 100 in. (1016 to 2540 mm) in diameter.

This Kason innovation features an interlocking flange between screen frames that protrudes from the external side of the frame to fully envelop the circular support ring of the internal screens. This enables the mesh of the screen to fully extend to the walls of the frame, eliminating the gap between the screen ring and frame wall of conventional screeners where material typically collects. The gap-free design dramatically reduces the possibility of contamination due to bacteria growth, while improving sanitizing efficiency, making it suitable for pharmaceutical, food and dairy applications as well as chemical applications where cross-contamination is a concern. Screens are mounted to support rings using FDA-approved epoxy and sealed using FDA-approved gasket material. The wire mesh screening material is offered in 304, 316 and magnetic 400-series stainless steel that, if broken, can be captured by a downstream magnet.

Clamshell Design
Kasons Clamshell design consists of a hinged frame section that is released from the screen frame below it by removing band clamps or releasing quickdisconnect clamps. The upper frame is raised and held in an open position by gas pistons, allowing rapid screen changes and easy, thorough wash down of all interior surfaces. The Clamshell option is available on VIBROSCREEN separators of 30 to 60 in. (760 to 1525 mm) in diameter.

Clean-In-Place (C.I.P.) design

VIBROSCREEN C.I.P. separators employ spray nozzles that emit cleaning solutions, rinsing solutions and/or steam for sanitizing the units interior without the need to open or disassemble the unit. Perforated, ball-shaped, stainless steel nozzles at the end of stainless steel pipes extend outward from the screen deck frames and upward from the top surfaces. Quick-disconnect clamps allow twominute disassembly of water supply hoses, Clean-In-Place spray head fittings, and screener sections for screen changes. Available in diameters from 18 to 60 in. (460 to 1525 mm).

Efficiency Enhancements

Ball Tray Anti-Blinding Device

The Kason Ball Tray anti-blinding device utilizes the multi-plane inertial vibration of the screener and bouncing elastomeric balls to prevent screen blinding. The device consists of two screens spaced sufficiently apart to allow captive elastomeric balls to bounce between the upper operating screen and the lower coarse-mesh ball screen for the purpose of dislodging nearsize, dry materials lodged in the apertures of the upper screen.

Four-Finger Flex Wiper Anti-Blinding Device

The Four-Finger Flex Wiper anti-blinding device employs four radial arms of durable neoprene to prevent screen blinding of the operating screen by slimes, pitch and other soft, gummy materials. Multi-plane inertial vibration of the screener causes the wipers to rotate continuously, enhancing the flow of material through apertures of the screen. Specially designed units are available for exceptionally difficult-to-screen products.

KASONIC Ultrasonic Anti-Blinding Device

The patented KASONIC anti-blinding device allows sifting as fine as 500 mesh (25 microns) on any circular vibratory screener of 18 to 72 in. (460 to 1829 mm) diameter. It transmits ultrasonic frequencies (adjustable) to the screen, adjusting power automatically according to screen loads. It operates with standard screens, reducing cost, and is supported independent of the screen, prolonging screen life.

KLEEN-SCREEN Ring Anti-Blinding Assembly

Kason KLEEN-SCREEN Rings are effective at preventing fibrous, stringy and sticky materials from blinding the screen. Multiplane inertial vibration of the screener causes plastic rings to move continuously across a perforated stainless steel plate, shearing fibers and scraping away gummy materials. Because they are hollow, the rings promote product flow over the entire screen surface, maximizing screening efficiency.

AUTO-LUBE Auto Lubrication System

This system pressure-feeds lubricant into bearings of gyratory screener motors for 6 to 12 months between reservoir replacements. Continuous lubricant flow flushes the race of wear materials, brokendown lubricant and contaminants, and minimizes dead spots of unused lubricant. Optional on VIBROSCREEN separators 48 in. (1220 mm) in diameter. Can be retrofit in one hour to any circular vibratory screener.

E-Z FORCE Weight Adjustment System

The E-Z FORCE weight adjustment system allows precise control of material flow patterns (see page 2, top right). The high torque, high-efficiency, imbalanced weight gyratory motor, which is rigidly mounted to the screening assembly, has a double extension shaft fitted at each end with variable eccentric weights. Weights can be adjusted in several minutes by one operator, allowing maximum efficiency for each screening application.

Free Laboratory Testing

The Kason test laboratory controls and monitors all processing variables, optimizing equipment configurations according to customers materials and application parameters. Kason can evaluate the effect of controlled variations in flow rates, deck designs, temperatures, mesh sizes and a variety of screening accessories offered. Laboratory testing of customer-supplied materials is held in strict confidence and can be documented as a video for customers unable to attend the test. VIBROSCREEN circular vibratory screeners include units with single and multiple decks for measuring sifting, scalping, classifying, de-dusting and dewatering performance in both gravity-fed and vacuum/ pressurized applications. All models of laboratory screeners are quick-clean designs, allowing easy access to interior components for rapid inspection, disassembly, screen changes and cleaning. A full complement of hoppers, mechanical and pneumatic conveyors and flow promotion devices enables Kason lab technicians to replicate virtually any process layout and production scenario, including running of customer-supplied materials at elevated temperatures. In addition to providing free testing services for Kason customers prior to equipment fabrication, the test lab is utilized to test-run completed equipment and to measure performance characteristics of new equipment designs. Kason also provides screeners for on-site trials at no charge to customers unable to ship materials for testing, and offers the equipment for pilot plant testing and other long-term trials on a rental basis.
