Hi,
I am wanting to examine some methods to reduce the vibration in our Falcon unit. Primarily the high vibration occurs early in the cycle (first 5 minutes). I can see the fluidized bed coming away from the bowl when the high level of vibration happens, so far it only trips out our concentrator fairly infrequently but is still somewhat of an issue.
I have also noticed the vibration does tend to settle down more as the cycle runs.
It is also quite variable between batches, some will be higher vibration runs while others follow a similar trend but lower over all vibration.
Currently increasing the bowl speed has shown positive results but any suggestions I can investigate would be helpful.
Thanks
