Multiple levels of separation with simple vibration
This monster of a screen was requested by a company who needed a lot of semi-fine separating for metals used in the manufacturing of rechargeable batteries. The majority of the material started out at 30mm or larger. They required it to be screened with 23mm aperture (flat top screen), 13mm (flat top screen), and 2.5mm (normal weave incl. tapping balls).
Also, we installed inspection ports for every possible stage of the process, so they could be sure everything was running smoothly.
With a trough size of 450mm by 1800mm and 5 tons per hour throughput, our client was extremely satisfied.
The whole operation is powered by two KEE-24-6C 6-pole Uras Vibrators.

How Does Ambient Temperature Affect Your Vibrator’s Performance?
Uras Motors are designed to withstand tough conditions, keeping both effectiveness and bearing life high, but extreme temperatures—whether too hot or too cold—can have a significant impact on their service life and reliability.
High Temperatures (Above 40°C/104°F)
• Can shorten the lifespan of bearings and motor windings.
• At 60°C, bearing life is reduced to nearly one-fourth of its normal expectancy.
• Insulation helps, but proactive cooling solutions may be necessary.
Low Temperatures (Below -15°C/5°F)
• Can cause startup failure if proper precautions aren’t taken.
• Vibrators in storage should be covered and inspected every five months.
• Before startup, the motor should be warmed to -10°C/14°F, with cables inspected and the shaft rotated.
If your application requires operation beyond these temperature limits, it’s essential to take preventative measures to avoid premature wear and lower B10 life.

Tough Linings for Tough Materials
Picture this: you got your coke flowing out from the hopper onto your feeder. The Uras is vibrating steadily, moving everything right along to the screen waiting below. You know the vibrator is going to last through the long haul, but what about the trough of your feeder…?
Ceramic is the Uras of linings: it’s tough, has a prolonged wear life, and looks great on kitchen floors. Okay maybe the comparison isn’t exactly 1:1, but the point is, it’s tough. Ceramic liners are designed to be extremely resistant to abrasion even with rough material flows. Coke is one such material that can be extremely abrasive, so for this feeder, we decided to use ceramic as a trough lining.
This whole rig is powered by two 4 pole Uras Vibrators, and made special for our buddies in the mining industry.

Multiple Levels of Coke Screening
Why adjust your entire layout to fit our machine, when we can adjust our machine to fit your layout! A customer required a double deck separator with three levels of screening to separate coke along with miscellaneous ore, but the processes being fed into had quite a bit of distance between them. So, our engineers had the idea to attach long pipes to the outputs using u-bolts. The pipes are connected directly to the frame of the machine to prevent any damage that could be caused by vibration. This solved our customer’s problem, and also produced a pretty fantastic looking machine at the same time.
The drive units used are two 6-pole, 220V / 60Hz KEE-18-6CW Uras Vibrators, ensuring high reliability and low-maintenance.
