Vibrating Screen Cleaning Balls

Production Problems It Solves

Near-size particles plugging openings

Balls strike the underside of the mesh during vibration to dislodge trapped particles and restore passage area.

Frequent stops for light mesh blockage

Continuous ball movement provides mechanical cleaning while the screen operates, when the tray and motion allow free travel.

Where It Fits in Your Plant

Sand and granule screens

Use a compatible under-mesh cleaning tray where pegging limits the usable screen area.

Powder sieving maintenance

Replace worn or hardened balls with the specified size and elastomer. Balls do not remove every cohesive coating, and material suitability depends on temperature, product contact and cleaning exposure.

How the Screen Cleaning Balls Work

The machine movement makes the balls bounce against the underside of the screen or its support arrangement. The ball tray and clearances control movement and must suit the screen design.

Selection Factors

• Diameter: the balls need enough room to move within the cleaning tray without becoming trapped.
• Elastomer: hardness, temperature resistance and product contact must suit the service conditions.
• Quantity: overcrowding the tray restricts free movement; use the layout specified for the screen assembly.

Common Issues & Checks

• Little cleaning action: inspect hardened or worn balls and buildup in the tray.
• Fragments in the product: inspect damaged balls and the retaining arrangement before returning the screen to service.
