TB Wood's MTO Sheaves for Quarry Vibratory Screen
A major global mining equipment manufacturer needed a belted drive for a
vibrating screen used at quarries and mines. As material is fed into the top of the
inclined machine, vibration causes the material to move down as it drops through
a series of different screens with selected size mesh openings. The material is
sorted based on the mesh opening sizes, from larger openings in the top screen
to smaller openings in the bottom screen, and eventually gets transported to
surrounding stock piles via separate incline conveyors. The vibration is generated
by a large, unbalanced motor-driven flywheel sheave that creates erratic
movement when rotated.
TB Wood’s manufactured Made-to-Order (MTO) sheaves to meet the challenging
sheave application requirements. The rugged 20" dia., non-standard, deep-groove,
gray iron sheaves were statically balanced at the factory.
OEMs and end users routinely rely on TB Wood’s for their extensive belt drive
application knowledge and in-house engineering capabilities. All TB Wood’s
sheaves are manufactured to exacting specifications and high quality standards at
our foundry located in Chambersburg, PA. For more information about our foundry
