The solutions to the clogging of the drum screen include vibration cleaning, knocking cleaning, rotary cleaning brush cleaning, high-pressure water washing, chemical cleaning, spray cleaning, compressed air blowing, changing the material properties, adjusting the screen tension, using anti-blocking devices and screen cleaning devices.

How to clean the drum screen blockage?

1. Vibration cleaning

The vibrating device makes the screen vibrate, so that the materials blocked in the screen holes can be shaken off and the permeability of the screen can be restored.

Operation method: Generally, a special vibration motor or vibrator can be used and installed at a suitable position on the drum screen. Start the vibration device to make the screen vibrate at a certain frequency and amplitude.

Knocking the screen with a tool will cause the blockage to fall off due to external force, thus achieving the purpose of cleaning the screen.

Operation method: You can use a soft tool such as a rubber hammer or a wooden hammer to gently knock along the surface of the screen. When knocking, you should start from one end of the screen and move to the other end in turn to ensure that the entire screen can be cleaned. For some stubborn blockage points, you can increase the knocking force appropriately or knock multiple times.

3. Cleaning with a rotating cleaning brush

The rotating brush contacts the surface of the screen, and the bristles of the brush remove the material blocked in the screen hole, so that the screen remains unobstructed.

Operation method: Install the rotating cleaning brush on a movable bracket so that it can be close to the surface of the screen. Start the rotating cleaning brush and move the cleaning brush along the surface of the screen to fully clean the entire screen.

4. High-pressure water flushing

Use the high-pressure water flow generated by the high-pressure water gun to flush the clogged screen and flush the blockage away from the screen surface.

Operation method: Aim the nozzle of the high-pressure water gun at the clogged screen area, then start the high-pressure water gun and flush with appropriate water pressure and water flow rate. When flushing, start from the top of the screen and gradually flush downward to ensure that the entire screen can be flushed. At the same time, avoid high-pressure water directly impacting the fixed parts of the screen and the electrical components of the equipment to avoid damage. For some blockages with high viscosity, an appropriate amount of detergent can be added to the water to improve the flushing effect.
