Internationally leading manufacturer of Superabsorbent Polymers (SAP) relies on the world's largest Tumbler Screening Machines

The customer

• A leading international manufacturer of SAP (Superabsorbent Polymers).

The challenge

• The challenge was to achieve a significant increase in throughput per machine, while at the same time keeping the cut-off size very small.
• The conventional sealing systems used to date are subjected to enormous mechanical stresses during screen changes and lose their shape within a short time. The resulting dust problems had to be eliminated.
• In addition, the order was to significantly reduce the previous downtimes and maintenance times by using more maintenance-friendly new machines.

The solution

• The required higher throughput was achieved with the world's largest Tumbler Screening Machine (TSM tsi294), which has a diameter of 2.90 m.
• Furthermore, the TSM tsi294 contains completely through-welded base cylinders and was designed with internal seals as standard. The dust problems could thus be efficiently prevented.
• The TSM tsi294 was equipped with the QSS quick clamping system in combination with a pneumatic lifting device. Downtimes and maintenance times could thus be reduced and tools are no longer necessary when changing screens.

The result

• With the Tumbler Screening Machine tsi 294, the number of machines was reduced and the efficiency of production operations significantly increased. Investment and operating costs were thus reduced.
• The completely welded base cylinders and the internal seals permanently reduce mechanical stress and ambient dust. Furthermore, additional cleaning work is not required.
• With the use of the QSS quick clamping system and the pneumatic lifting device, downtimes and maintenance times and thus operating and maintenance costs were significantly reduced.
• With outstanding screening quality of up to 95%, the TSM tsi 294 is one of the most reliable and economical solutions for bulk materials of all kinds, offering customers long-term added value.
