Abstract
The invention relates to a flat stroke sifter screen having a vibratory excitor mounted at the inlet end and drive springs at the outlet end with a counterbalancing member having a tuning plate and stabilizers for the counterbalance, whereby the lateral vibratory action of the sifter is in the form of an elliptical motion adjacent the inlet end and a substantially straight back and forth, or axial motion is obtained adjacent the discharge end.
Claims9
A vibratory sifter screen including a sifter trough and screen assembly mounted on spaced isolators supporting the assembly from a base structure, said assembly having an inlet end and a discharge end, an excitor mounted on the assembly adjacent the inlet end adapted to impart a generally lateral vibratory motion to the assembly at this end, and a drive spring and counterbalance mounted at the discharge end adapted to direct the vibratory motion in a linear direction adjacent to the discharge end.
In a vibratory sifter screen including a vibrating sifter trough mounted for vibrating freely, means for vibrating said trough incorporating a squirrel cage motor and an autotransformer for varying the voltage of the motor to vary the frequency and stroke of the vibrating sifter trough, the improvement comprising a stabilizer spring to guide and control the motion of the sifter trough, said stabilizer spring comprising a vertical flat bar spring, and a drive spring with a counterbalance mass disposed between the stabilizer spring and sifter trough.
