AirSprings – adjustable spring system for increasing productivity and upgrade workforce safety

The paper "Airsprings adjustable spring system for increasing productivity and upgrade workforce safety presents the key features and developments of air suspensions for screening machines with a focus on health and safety and plant performance.The technology to change screening machines and feeders from steel springs to airsprings is introduced and field studies and scientific examinations are presented, showing a reduction in vibration of the machines by 99% on average, leading back the kinetic energy to increase the productivity of the screens.As this is the worlds first in-operation adjustable suspension system, the details of auto-levelling suspensions are displayed, enabling the process to be more flexible and efficient as inclination can be changed during operation, eliminating spot wear and one-sided loadout on the screen/feeder.The locked maintenance position ensures the highest possible safety during shutdowns, immobilizing the machine during services.In the final conclusion the kinetic forces and aspects of airsprings are compared to steel springs, showing comparison in a neutral overview.
