Aside from all the proper adjustments and operating parameters required to gain the most in screening efficiency, the need for good preventive maintenance practices is a must for longer lasting screens and reliable performance. “Above all, be proactive,” says Deister Machine Co. Service Manager Scott Murphy, an industry veteran with more than 25 years of experience. “Develop a keen focus in forecasting, and then fixing, each factor that could cause potential problems. And take the time to do maintenance the right way — before, rather than after, component failures occur.” Murphy shares the following tips for superior screen maintenance.
- Establish an oil sampling program.
- Employ recommended lubrication practices.
- Maintain proper belt tension.
- Prevent material buildup.
- Maintain proper screen media support and tensioning.
