The fines are quickly disposad of, leaving # large portion of the screan surface available for accurate separations and anabling the sereening of high tonnages. ‘The Ty-Rock vibrating body and shaft supporting side arma {are lolated from the stationary base frame by rubber mounts. ‘The rubber mounts alto minimize any out-ot-balanes vi- bbrations from being tranemitted to the base tram, ‘The Ty-Rock vibrating body is integrally balsnosd by means of the double eccentric shaft, ide arms, and balance wheal, The weight of the mounted balance wheal is adjurted to counterbalancd the weight of the screan body.

The main longitudinal members are designed with adequate strength and stiffness to support the screen body. ‘Therefore, 2 continuous structural beam under the beso frame member is not required. Because of the dynamically balanced vibrating body and the strength and rigidity of the base frame, the Ty-Aock requires use of only very simple but versatile mounting systems, Arrangements are possibie in which the base frame is nat bolted to the supparting structure. This will allow for quick and wesy removal of the entire machine for off site maintenance, Swvivel brackets and trunnion pin mounts allow the installation angle to be easily changed to compensate ‘or unforeseen variables in the screening operation.
