VIBROSCREEN®

Product catalog summary
Overview: This document is a technical brochure for Kason Corporation's VIBROSCREEN® circular vibratory screeners. These screeners are designed for sifting, scalping, classifying, de-dusting, and dewatering of powder and bulk solids, and are used across industries such as chemicals, minerals, plastics, foods, dairy, and pharmaceuticals.
Specifications: The screeners range from 18 to 100 inches in diameter and can handle capacities from several pounds to over 70 tons per hour. They are available in single or multiple deck configurations, capable of separating particles into one to five predetermined sizes. The VIBROSCREEN® separators can separate particles into sizes ranging from 2 inches to 500 mesh and are constructed from stainless steel to meet industrial or sanitary standards.
Design and Features: Designed for both gravity-fed and in-line pneumatic configurations, these screeners feature enclosed, dust-free operation and comply with standards such as USDA, FDA, BISSC, 3A, ATEX, and CE. They allow for rapid screen changes, easy clean out, and are built for continuous operation. Options include anti-blinding devices, automatic lubrication systems, and weight adjustment systems for precise control.
Operation Principle: The screeners use a gyratory motor to create multi-plane inertial vibration, controlling the flow path of material on screen surfaces to maximize throughput.
Applications: These screeners are used for separating solids from solids and solids from liquids, handling materials like resins, abrasives, and food products. They are also used in recycling plants and industries handling abrasive additives and chemical products.
Adjustable Flow Patterns: Material flow patterns can be adjusted by repositioning eccentric weights, allowing for fine-tuning of screening efficiency.
Case Studies: The document includes case studies demonstrating the screeners' effectiveness, such as reducing sewage costs by removing solidified latex from rinse water and increasing throughput in fertilizer production.
Procedures: Cleaning and maintenance procedures include the use of Clean-In-Place (C.I.P.) systems for internal sanitization without disassembly. The AIR-LIFT™ and "Clamshell" designs facilitate quick screen changes and thorough washdowns.
Standards and Compliance: The screeners can be designed to comply with various sanitary standards, making them suitable for food, dairy, and pharmaceutical applications.
Conclusion: Kason's VIBROSCREEN® screeners offer versatile and efficient solutions for a wide range of industrial screening applications, with customizable options to meet specific processing needs.

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. 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...

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. The Four-Finger Flex...
