How to determine if the dehydration screen vibration motor is overheated?

2026-10-24

The vibration motor is the power source of the dewatering screen, and burning is one of the most serious faults reported by customers. When the motor burns, the entire sieve stops, and replacement can take half a day or even a day, affecting the operation of the production line. The problem often lies in three aspects: heat dissipation, wiring, and operating load.

Poor heat dissipation is the primary cause of motor burnout. The vibration motor generates a large amount of heat on its own, which is carried away by the heat dissipation fins on the outer shell and the surrounding air circulation. The installation location has poor ventilation, or the heat sink is covered with dust and oil, causing the motor temperature to continue to rise and the insulation layer to accelerate aging, ultimately resulting in inter turn short circuit and burnout. It is recommended to clean the dust and oil stains on the cooling fins of the motor casing once a month to maintain smooth ventilation. During daily inspections, touching the motor casing with the back of your hand and making it too hot to stay indicates that the temperature has exceeded the standard, and the machine should be stopped immediately for troubleshooting.

Loose wiring terminals can also cause the motor to burn out. The vibration motor operates under high-frequency vibration, and the terminals inside the junction box are prone to loosening. After the contact resistance increases, local heating may occur, and in severe cases, the wiring may be burned off or even the insulation layer may be ignited. Every quarter, open the junction box and tighten the terminals one by one with a screwdriver. Ensure waterproof sealing of the cable entry port to prevent dust and moisture from entering. If blackening or burn marks are found on the terminals, they need to be replaced and the cable insulation checked for damage.

Long term overload operation, the motor cannot withstand it. When the feeding amount exceeds the rated processing capacity of the screening machine, the motor load increases, the current rises, and the temperature rises accordingly. Check if the operating current exceeds the rated value on the nameplate, and adjust the feeding amount appropriately if it exceeds the standard. In addition, loose installation bolts of the motor can cause relative displacement between the motor and the screen box, reduce the efficiency of vibration energy transmission, and increase the load on the motor, which can also lead to overheating and burning. Check the tightening of installation bolts once a month.

Record the motor operating current and temperature once per shift during daily inspections, and promptly handle any abnormalities found.
