Centrifugal screener with rapid dis-assembly
The Kason 3-A dairy accepted centrifugal screener has a hinged end cover, self-securing screen cylinder and removable three-bearing cantilevered feed-screw assembly, allowing disassembly for wash-down
To operate, a quick-disconnect clamp connecting the frames is removed and a remote air valve is actuated, raising the upper frame.
The procedure is reversed to reconnect the frames.
One entire raise/lower cycle including quick-disconnect/connect of the frames, requires only several minutes, reducing downtime during every inspection, cleaning and screen-changing operation.
In addition, one operator can now perform what was previously a two person task, depending on screen diameter.
Other safety features include a safety lock-out that locks the frames in the open or closed position when the upper screener housing is raised or lowered, and safety bars that prevent the housing from accidentally descending while in a fully-raised position during screen changes or wash down.
The Air-Lift device is available on any new Kason screener, and can be retrofitted to any circular vibratory screener of any make or model from 48 to 84inches (1220mm to 2135mm) in diameter, including screeners having single- or multiple-decks, and screens with or without centre holes and/or anti-blinding devices.
