Vibrating Screens

Introduction to Osborn Screens

Osborn has the largest range of mining screens available in the market. Osborns experience in screen design and manufacture goes back to the 1940s. During this time Osborn has continuously improved and developed their screen range to suit all the demanding conditions of the mining and quarrying industries. All vibrating screens are designed and manufactured in South Africa at Osborns modern facilities in Elandsfontein. Osborn utilises the latest design technology combined with FEA design analysis.

G forces are very important in screen selection 5 Gs is considered the norm in South Africa. The bigger the screen aperture the higher the machine stroke. Thus the speed will decrease. On fine apertures high speed with a small stroke is required. G force is calculated as stroke multiplied by speed.

OBEX Screens can be powered by 4 pole or 6 pole motors in various Voltages. All OBEX Screens operate with two out of balance motors. Osborn can also design and manufacture specific sizes for specific applications.

The Osborn OBEX screen was developed as a replacement for the older shaft driven series. The main features are lower power consumption, low operating noise and easy maintenance. OBEX screens can be used for conventional screening, dewatering and washing applications. Osborns OBEX screens are supplied with polyurethane screen panel decks as a standard, but can be fitted with woven wire decks if required. Two vibrating out of balance motors rotate in opposite directions, synchronising and imparting a vibrating force in a longitudinal direction. This lifts the material and carries it forward on each rotation providing a partical travel rate. The amplitude can be varied by adjusting the out of balance weights on the vibrating motors to the required stroke. The frequency depends on the use of either 4 pole or 6 pole motors as dictated by the application. When dewatering on a 5 upslope, the use of a variable speed drive VSD is recommended to achieve optimal speed and performance.

The Osborn SUPERKING screens are frequently used in primary screening and scalping operations and have proved to be exceptionally reliable in the mining and quarrying industries. Generally operating at 16 to 20 installation angle, the SUPERKING produces a maximum of 12 mm stroke at around 5Gs. The SUPERKING has fully adjustable counterweights for optimum screening and efficiency. Available in single, double, triple or 4 deck configurations, these screens are equally efficient for screening dry or wet gravel, sand, crushed stone and all types of ore. The drive is a self contained vibrator unit complete with a heavy duty steel shaft and fitted with grease lubricated self aligning spherical roller bearings. The unit is completely enclosed and dust tight. To ensure that the feed material spreads across the full width of the screen deck, the SUPERKING screens are fitted with screen feed boxes as standard. The Osborn SUPERKING screens are supplied with woven wire screen decks as a standard but can be fitted with polyurethane screen panels if required.

Osborn Exciter Driven Screens

This linear motion screen is generally regarded as a high speed,
OSBORN EXCITER DRIVEN SCREENS

high volume screen, superior in screening efficiency and capacity versus the more conventional horizontal and declined models. It is available in single deck & double deck configuration. The unbalanced Exciter Drive, designed and manufactured in SA, consists of a sturdy soundproof housing which contains two shafts that are synchronised with gears and mounted in heavy duty roller bearings. Lubrication of the bearings and gears is achieved by a combination of an oil bath and an oil mist. Eccentric weights are attached to both ends of the shaft. While stationary, the unbalanced mass can be changed by adding or removing weights. This alters the strength of the unbalanced exciter drive force and the oscillation amplitude of the vibratory equipment. The Multi Slope Type Screen with the Exciter Drive is made up of two, three or five decks that are installed at different angles. The Exciter Drive gearbox is mounted over the top of the screen which imparts a straight linear motion through the screen arrangement. Used extensively in the coal and diamond processing industry, the Osborn Multi Slope Type Screen has the capability of handling wet and sticky materials. This is due to the aperature sizes changing over the full screen length by virtue of the different deck angles and particle approach angles.

Osborn Linear Screens

Where accurate and efficient screening is required, the Osborn Linear Screen is generally the equipment of choice. Capable of screening large capacities of material, this medium to heavy duty screen operates with an elliptical throw but still produces a maximum force of 5 Gs.

Operating with a three way motion (horizontal, vertical and elliptical), this unique movement quickly stratifies and turns materials so that all sides of each particle are exposed to deck openings and where fitted, water spray nozzles. The result is more complete screening, accurate sizing and more thorough dewatering. The heart of the Osborn Linear Screen is the Vibrator mechanism. Twin shafts, driven through wide face helical gears, are completely enclosed in a dust proof housing which contains a large oil reservoir to provide splash lubrication to the gears and bearings. The oil assists in dissipating heat and lowers bearing temperatures for longer bearing service life. The single shaft extension vibrator can be turned end for end (and gears retimed) to change the hand orientation of the drive, because the short vibrator side plates are symmetrical. Therefore, one vibrator for left hand and right hand drive.

WIDE-FACE HELICAL GEARS Timing gears are premium-quality, single helical design, precision-cut from 4140 heat-treated steel. Wide-faced gear teeth distribute load much more effectively than spur gears, and promote smooth, quiet, long-lived operation under heavy loading. VIBRATING SHAFTS Each tough, eccentric, vibrator shaft is precision-machined from 1045 steel for extra-long service.

OIL FLINGER

DOUBLE-LIP SEAL Retains oil and prevents contaminants from entering vibrator mechanism. Seals and seal sleeve are easily replaceable when worn.

OIL-SPLASH LUBRICATION Through-flow, oil splash system provides superior lubrication of gears and bearings. Large oil reservoir, extending the entire length of vibrator housing, dissipates heat rapidly, and lowers bearing temperatures for longer bearing service life.

Osborn Mogensen Sizer

The Osborn Mogensen Sizer is made up of several screening decks which are arranged on top of one another and have different inclinations. The meshes are bigger in the upper decks and smaller in the lower decks. The maintenance-friendly screen mesh is excited in a compact case by out of balance motor vibrators. While the finer particles of the material fall through the larger meshes of the upper deck almost vertically, the larger particles are filtered out of the material flow. Due to the different inclinations of the screen media, their openings have the effect of a smaller aperture. For this reason, the mesh widths can be unusually large compared to conventional flat-screens at the same separation efficiency. The separation of different particle sizes from the material flow and the larger mesh width not only prevent the deposition of material layers and clogging of material on the screen surface, but also ensure a high throughput. The sizer is fully dust enclosed with a sealed outlet and inlet.

Osborn Spreader Feeder

Designed to accept a fast material flow from a relatively narrow feed and convert this into a low velocity and uniform flow across the width of the machine. The Osborn Spreader Feeder is highly recommended for this process. These feeders are capable of handling a wide range of products including materials such as damp clay and limestone; and are ruggedly built for arduous trouble free service. There are two types of Osborn spreader feeders. These are:

TRANSVERSE FEEDER
The transverse feeder is available in four sizes being suitable for feeding the 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 3 meter wide sizers and screens. They are suitable for accepting a feed and turning through 90 degrees into a steady and continuous flow across the width of the screen feed plate. Occasionally they can be supplied to feed two machines mounted in parallel.

CENTRAL FEEDER
The central feeder again is available in four sizes suitable for feeding the 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 3 meter wide sizers and screens. They accept a central feed and spread the material sideways in two directions across the width of the screen feed plate.
