Common problems with screening equipment: solution for clogged holes in drum screens

2026-08-10

Drum screen is widely used in the pre classification stage after quartz sand crushing, but when the material moisture content is high, fine powder is prone to adhere to the inner wall of the screen hole, causing blockage, and the screening efficiency drops sharply from the design value of over 85% to below 60%.

First, check if the mesh size matches the particle size of the material. If the aperture is too small, it is easy to get stuck, and if it is too large, the screening accuracy will be insufficient. If the moisture content of the material exceeds 5%, it is recommended to install a simple dryer or hot air duct at the front end of the drum screen to reduce the moisture content to below 3% before entering the screening process. The screen cleaning device cannot be ignored either. If the conventional roller brush or scraper is severely worn, it will lose its cleaning function and needs to be replaced in a timely manner. After stopping the machine, using a high-pressure water gun to flush and block the sieve holes is also an immediate solution. It is important to note that the water pressure should not be too high to avoid damaging the sieve mesh.
