Project Introduction

Micron-level powder screening demands high stability and precision from equipment, particularly in industries such as quartz powder screening, non-metallic minerals, chemical powders, new materials, and electronic materials. These sectors rely heavily on the long-term stable operation of high-precision vibrating screens.

In this case, the customer used conventional rotary vibrating screens for fine quartz powder screening in actual production. However, due to the presence of irregular particles, poor particle shape, and agglomerating quartz powder in the raw material, the following issues frequently occurred during multi-layer screening:

  • Simultaneous screening of multiple particle sizes resulted in insufficient screening accuracy and low screening efficiency.
  • Frequent severe clogging of high-mesh screens
  • Frequent equipment shutdowns for screen cleaning
  • High labor and maintenance costs

Although the customer’s single-line production volume requirements were not high, the need to operate five layers of multi-layer vibrating screens simultaneously imposed stricter demands on the equipment’s continuous operation capability, screen anti-clogging performance, and self-cleaning ability.

Analysis of Screening Challenges

Material: Quartz Powder

Particle Size Range: 100 / 150 / 200 / 250 / 300 microns

Material Characteristics:

  • Fine powder with moderate flowability
  • Irregular particles and slight agglomeration are present
  • High-mesh screens are prone to clogging, impacting fine powder screening efficiency

Screening Requirements:

  • Simultaneous five-layer screening to achieve multi-specification classification in one pass
  • Integrate a magnetic separator at the discharge end to prevent metal impurities from affecting downstream processes
