Swing Screen: Comparing with Other Sieving Equipment

Basic Principles of Swing Screen Functionality

Unlike vibratory sieves and rotary sieves, Swing screens mimic manual sieving, using gentle circular swinging motions. While high frequency vibrating screens use strong vertical and horizontal vibrations, Swing screens use low speed balanced swings to evenly distribute the material load across the screen surface. This method reduces material contact and thus material damage, and allows for more even stratification. Rotary sieves are not well equipped to handle fine or fragile materials, and so Swing screens are the more ideal choice. The horizontal and vertical motions of Swing screens are easy to preset, and that adjustable motion allows for better control of separation for fine, medium, and coarse particles. This design allows for the sieving of fragile and heat sensitive materials, which is highly valuable in the food, pharmaceuticals, and chemical industries.

Selection and Protection of Materials

Swing screens also produce better results in terms of retention compared to traditional vibrating sieves, and in the context of fine powder, and other demanding retention selective sieving, the advantages of swing sieves are even more pronounced. The gentle, pendular movement of the swing screen sieves allows particles to escape the mesh without excessive jostling or getting stuck. On the other end of the spectrum, high frequency vibrating sieves are highly likely to break down or clump together the particles to be retained, which is not only counterproductive to retaining sieves, but also leads to decreased yields and a greater quantity of low purity products. Due to these factors, Swing screens are more suitable for valuable materials like food additives, fine chemicals, or pharmaceutical powders. Research has showed that in comparison to traditional vibrating sieves, Swing screens reduce material loss in the processing of materials by 15 to 25 percent, and reduce the amount of mesh blockage. This also decreases the amount of time spent cleaning and maintaining the screens, which leads to more consistent operation over time.

Flexibility with Various Materials and Industries

Swing screens demonstrate incredible versatility with applications ranging across multiple industrial sectors and outperforming many dedicated sieving machines. They offer versatility with the handling of wet or dry materials, and whether they be fine or coarse, and whether they be light or heavy. In food processing, they handle the grading of flour, starch, and soy milk powder and do so in a safe and hygienic manner. In pharmaceuticals, they assist in the fine and precise classification of active ingredients and excipients. They also serve well with chemicals and materials such as abrasives, ceramics, and construction. Linear vibrating screens tend to fit the bulk screening of coarse materials, but they are not precise with the screening of fine materials. Rotary sieves also struggle to screens to only a few fine and coarse ranges and struggle with high viscosity materials. In many different production environments, swing screens have the ability to be customized with different layers, mesh screen sizes, and with different adjustments to all of the above to customize the screen to a wide range of production needs, making them the most cost effective option for multi-product lines in any production environment.

Operational Efficiency and Energy Consumption

It has been determined that swing screens offer the most efficient operation juxtaposed to their low level of energy consumption, which in turn has improved the overall cost of ownership. According to the field test, swing screens offer 20% - 30% in improvement of operation efficiency in continuous production and decrease in energy consumption by 15% in continuous production. Swing screens also have a low level of wear on the actual screen and on the bearings and the drive parts, which offers a service life that decreases the amount of maintenance that needs to be done. They also operate with minimized noise which creates a safer work environment and allows for compliance with local ordinances. The overall operation will be improved with the above and will have long reach with a level of stability and continuous production.

Maintenance and Service Life

Swing screens have been engineered to simplify servicing and extend the product’s service life, as well as reducing the cost of ownership and the amount of time the product will be out of service during repairs. Their robust build has fewer components which will require replacement than the competing systems which utilize complex vibrating or rotary components. Screen replacement is quick and cleaning is infrequent and requires minimal effort as a result of the clogging being much less than competing systems. Excellent assembly quality and components make for an excellent service life. From customer feedback, swing screens work well with minimal servicing. The less servicing is the longer the system is operational and the more productive the system is. This makes the swing screen an excellent choice for continuous production.
