4. Service: The screening media and the vibrating screen must be dened as a complete screening system. TYCAN understands that responsibility and as a result offers far reaching services, such as the self developed vibration analysis. Using such milestone technologies we are today capable of ensuring complete synchronization between screening media and vibrating machine with the help of automatically generated improvement recommendations. To ensure the quality of the recommendation results, we again require the particle analysis and thus the screening circle closes to form a complete rotation.

1. Particle Analysis: the basis for any screening process is the understanding of the size distribution within the feed material as well as the desired product. TYLER offers all aspects of particle analysis, beginning with standard sieves over traditional laboratory shakers such as the famous ROTAP to the technology of Computerized Particle Analysis (CPA).
The Screening Circle

3. Vibrating Screens: The particle sizes of the feed material as well as the required cut sizes determine the necessary drive technology and physical size of the vibrating screen. TYCANs engineering department is a very international team. As a result the customer benets from this wide range of experience and process studies with screening solutions that are extraordinary and unprecedented in the history of the screening industry. Using tools such as FEA and 3-D CAD systems, TYCANs promise is to develop customized solutions according to product application and customer specication.

2. Screening Media: The results of the particle analysis and the material characteristics determine the opening and the composition of the screening surface. TYLER offers a full line of screening media, starting with woven wire cloth, engineered rubber and polyurethane systems to self cleaning screens and perforated plate. TYLER understands the impact media changes can have on protecting the vibrating screen itself.

Eccentric Shaft Systems (4-bearing Technology)

The NCLASS
The TYCAN N-Class is commonly used as a primary screen targeted at increasing the throughput and the efciencies of the primary crusher in very heavy duty and aggressive environments. Capable of handling particles as big as 78 x 39 x 39 and screening at cut sizes of to 12 it is ideal for very demanding industries such as mining or crushed stone. This operation principle consists of the use of a shaft and four bearings. The vibration motion is worked into the shaft in form of single eccentricity, allowing for equipment operation with consistent amplitude, independent of the load fed to the screen. Due to the constant dynamic operating conditions and consequently the very high G-Forces generated by the technical principle of the vibrating screen, product particles are consistently launched out of the classication openings of the media creating a self-cleaning effect, which minimizes material clogging and pegging.

PRINCIPAL CHARACTERISTICS: Consistent amplitude Constant dynamic, load independent operating conditions, Adjustable frequency Dry and humid classication Cuts of up to approximately 12 High classication capacity and better classication efciencies Use of perforated plates up to 4 with conical opening as classication media Allows for various classication deck congurations Allows for the classication of viscous and sticky products Does not transmit vibrations into the structure Width of up to 8 ft. Length of up to 22 ft Optional full or partial dust enclosure Allows for immediate stoppage (either by electric brake or by reversal) eliminating residual vibrations N-CLASS Scalper screen Model ESS 2400 x 5000

Double Eccentric Shaft Systems (4-bearing Technology)

The F-CLASS
The TYCAN F-CLASS is the number one vibrating screen for classication in the heavy mining, mineral and crushed stone industries. The positive circle-throw motion of the F-CLASS is developed by a counterbalanced double eccentric shaft, which is supported by four double spherical roller screen bearings. Rubber mounting units dynamically balance by isolating the vibrating body from the stationary base frame. The shaft is supported on the base by side arm assemblies that are also isolated on rubber mounting units. The F-CLASS free oating action permits the shaft to nd its natural center of rotation without strain or thrust on the bearings. This feature minimizes maintenance and downtime and prolongs the life of the bearings. PRINCIPAL CHARACTERISTICS: Consistent amplitude Constant dynamic, load independent operating conditions Adjustable frequency at speeds of 750 to 1050 RPM Dry and humid classication Solid HUCK bolted construction Hands Free tube housing assembly for easy bearing exchange Allows for various classication deck congurations of up to 3 decks Allows for the classication of viscous and sticky products Does not transmit vibrations into the structure Installed at angles of 15 to 25 degrees Width of up to 8 ft (2500mm) Length of up to 24 ft (7500mm) Optional full or partial dust enclosure Optional ball tray for classication of ne and sticky material F-CLASS model 900

The XLCLASS
Todays markets have increasingly been demanding higher production rates in form of bigger machines as well as superior machine availability. Traditional shaft driven technology reaches its limitations at a determined width due to the mechanical deection of the shaft resulting in unacceptable bearing lifetimes. TYCANs solution to the markets demands and the technological limitations of the shaft technology is the exciter driven XL-Class. The exciter is a completely incased drive unit consisting of short shafts supported by closely positioned bearings. Mounted on a specially designed over head bridge the exciter technology allows TYCANs XL-Class to be built at widths in excess of 8ft addressing the market need for bigger machines. Due to carefully chosen bearing sizes in combination with maintenance friendly lubrication via oil the demand for availability is addressed by bearing lifetimes as high as 50,000 hours (application dependant). Not only does the XLClass set new standards in its drive principle but also in its body design. Enabling forces of more than 5g (application dependant) the XL-Class is engineered using state of the art Finite Element Analysis technology (FEA). FEA enables structural calculations by simulating the machines dynamic behavior in form of a 3D model. The results of the simulation allow the determination of resulting tensions and natural frequencies to assure a technologically optimized and economically sound design.

Horizontal Screening Systems

The XL-CLASS Banana

Certain applications call for versatility in changeability of screening surface angles. TYCAN answers this market demand with the XL-Class Custom Slope Deck, designed to provide high yield and efciency in screening. Larger angles of inclination in the feeding area offer a speed gain in the material ow, which assures a reduced height in the screening layer and allows ne materials to easily pass through the screening media. Subsequent changes in the inclination angles of the media along the screen structure assure a reduction of ow speed allowing the nal layer thickness to increase, thus insuring accurate sizing performance at the screens discharge end. The Custom Slope Deck screens mechanical structure is strong and solid and entirely equipped with Huckbolts, providing high operating capacity and low maintenance cost.

XL-CLASS Banana-type 8 x 24 (2400mm x 7500mm) PRINCIPAL CHARACTERISTICS: Linear Free Vibrating System with Exciters Strength and Reliability High efciency in screening Easy to operate and to install Material in non-laminate format Designed specically for granulometric applications with high concentrations of under-sized materials

Drive system: The drive system of the Banana vibrating screen consists of exciters which are essentially composed of counterweights attached to a rigid shaft that seats in special bearings. These bearings were developed for vibrating equipment and have a useful life of 50,000 working hours or more (application dependant).

Larger angles allow a speed gain in the material ow

The D-CLASS
The TYCAN D-Class was mainly conceived for the iron ore industry in order to minimize the percentage of water residue in the product, enabling a substantial improvement in the handling, transport and piling up of ore. Used for dewatering of various products, the equipment works to allow for better material compacting and consequent water expulsion. Depending on the machine size and application, one of the free linear motion drive assemblies is used. Apart from the characteristics of the free linear motion screen, the dewatering screen has the following features: D-CLASS Unbalanced motor driven

PRINCIPAL CHARACTERISTICS: Heavy construction Use of polyurethane screen media or rubber Totally rubber covered for protection against abrasion

High Speed Screening Systems

S-CLASS 4 x 8 (1200mm x 2500mm)

The S-CLASS
S-CLASS is a versatile high speed circle-throw movement machine designed for medium and ne screening of very difcult wet or dry materials such as sands, gravel, lime, coal, chemicals, fertilizers, gold and metal ores. The S-CLASS is a tough two bearing machine with exibility to meet demanding and changeable screening conditions. The vibration of the S-CLASS is developed by a counterbalanced shaft assembly which is supported by two double spherical roller screen bearings mounted in ductile iron bearing housings at each end of the vibrator assembly. The vibrator is located over top of the vibrating screen body and is demountable for service. The circle-throw motion produced by the vibrating head is transferred into a forward inclined ellipti-

cal action on the screen surface at the feed end and into a backward inclined ellipse at the discharge end. This special design creates high transport velocities at the feed end and lower ones at the discharge end. This causes a quick and equal distribution of the material on the rst third of the screen deck and a sharper screening at the last third.

Hydro - Clean

Before

Afterwards

Often customers not only require screened product but cleanly screened products, TYCAN has developed a technology capable of cleaning material mixtures with particle sizes ranging from 0-150 mm, with the use of high pressured water: The TYCAN Hydro Clean. The result of this technological quantum leap is a high pressure cleaning system for production rates from 50 to 400 tons of output material per hour. Designed similar to a household washing machine the contaminated material is fed into an actual washing chamber by a hopper. Inside the machine the material builds a column standing on a conveyor belt, the speed of which controls the throughput of the material and the washing cycle. To protect the chamber, its inside is lined with standard polyurethane screening panels allowing dirty water to escape and be returned to a settling pond. The constantly recycled water is fed to jet valves, which rotate at the top of the washing chamber. As a result the water is injected at rates from 800 to 2000 PSI and intensely interacts with the contaminated product by blowing onto the particles and penetrating porous areas, which friction based washing technology could never reach. This means the Hydro Clean is capable of offering never before seen cleaning degrees. Products thought to be impossible to clean can now be sold at premium prices. ADVANTAGES: Highest cleaning results possible Lowest water consumption available No tool wearing water jet The water jet reaches directly the material to be washed The drum is coated with PUR-standard screens Optimum material adaptation
