In this blog post, we show how to replace a screen drum in less than 5 minutes, resulting in maximum time savings and efficiency on the job site.
Why is it necessary to change the screen drum?
Depending on the type of material you are screening, different screen drum sizes may be required to achieve optimal results. For finer materials, such as compost or sand, a smaller screen drum is needed. For coarser materials, such as stones or construction waste, a larger screen opening is preferred. By changing the screen drum, you can quickly switch between different projects and materials without losing valuable production time.
Step-by-step guide to changing the screen drum
1. Safety measures
Before you begin, make sure the machine is completely turned off and positioned on a flat surface. Always wear the proper protective equipment, such as gloves and a safety helmet.
2. Detaching the current screen drum
The current screen drum is driven by four vertical drive wheels, allowing it to be lifted vertically using a forklift or excavator. Make sure the screen brushes are deployed so that the drum can be easily removed. This process is quick and efficient thanks to the user-friendly design of the Rematech 12.4T.
3. Removing the screen drum
Using an extension on the forklift forks, you can carefully lift the drum out of the machine. The drum’s light and modular construction makes it possible to do this with minimal effort, even without additional tools.
4. Installing the new screen drum
Place the new drum into the compartment and ensure it is properly seated. Fold the screen brushes back into position.
5. Inspection and testing
After changing the screen drum, perform a short test to ensure that the drum rotates smoothly and that the screen functions properly with the new fraction.
