Haver & Boecker unveils vibrating screen
23/12/2024
Haver & Boecker Niagara featured its latest screening equipment and technology at the MINExpo in Las Vegas, USA, in September. The company showcased a full-size Niagara F-class vibrating screen, along with other mining solutions.
The Niagara F-class vibrating screen, designed with new technology to simplify maintenance, was a key exhibit. This next-generation screen is now primarily built using vibration-resistant lockbolts instead of traditional welding, enhancing structural integrity and making maintenance more efficient and cost-effective. Lockbolts secure the bar rails to the cross beams, allowing for easy replacement if they wear out. The screen’s double eccentric shaft assembly ensures constant g-force during material surges, maintaining product specifications and creating a balanced system that reduces vibration to the surrounding structure. This design retains the original F-class benefits, including enhanced material stratification and reduced blinding and pegging.
Haver & Boecker Niagara also displayed Niagara exciters, its signature brand of vibrating screen exciters, known for their durability and reduced maintenance. These exciters, standard on the company’s XL-class and L-class screens, are engineered for improved screening performance by setting the precise stroke, frequency and static moment needed for each application.
In addition, the company presented its pulse diagnostics portfolio, a suite of tools that monitors the health of vibrating screens to identify issues before they become critical. This system combines vibration analysis, condition monitoring and impact testing to provide a comprehensive view of each machine’s performance, helping operators maximise uptime and efficiency through planned maintenance. Attendees could experience pulse diagnostics at the interactive ‘Check your pulse’ kiosk.
Haver & Boecker Niagara also highlighted Rhino Hyde liners, which provide abrasion resistance in key wear areas of mining equipment, such as chutes, hoppers and vibrating screens. These liners are crucial for reducing wear throughout the operation, from hauling to screening and material handling.
