Triple S Dynamics - Model Texas Shaker -Vibratory Screener

Texas Shaker Models & Sizes

Texas Shaker models are offered in sizes ranging from a 3’ x 6’ single-deck to 8’x 10’ ten-deck, providing up to 800 square feet of screening area in a single machine. Each model is equipped with a vibrator module sized according to its weight for long, trouble-free life, with bearings that range in size from 40 to 200 mm.

The straight-line “shake” of the Texas Shaker is generated by a pair of rotating unbalanced shafts, coupled together with a pair of gears. Their opposite rotation generates the straight-line inertia force which, applied to the screen box structure, causes it to move in reaction.

The constant change in velocity and direction of the screening surface creates a shuffling effect in the material bed that promotes stratification and screening. It also intensifies the action of the cleaning balls, whose impact against the underside of the screen not only prevents blinding, but also applies local agitation to assist in stratification and the screening efficiency by helping undersize particles to migrate down to the screen cloth.

The positive conveying action (40 fpm on 6 degree slope) moves the oversize bed at constant velocity preventing uneven buildup on the screen. Rotors and gears are mounted in a modular housing that spans the full width of the screen box to which it is attached. There is no compromise with quality in the design of the vibrator module. Rotors are machined from solid, hardened alloy steel forgings and carried in spherical roller bearings designed for vibrating duty. These bearings are mounted in individually removable steel housings, for ease in removal and replacement.

The external mounting affords easy access for inspection or maintenance, it also allows the complete module to be quickly removed to a clean shop environment when maintenance is required, or to be replaced with a spare.
