Are you experiencing any delays in your fine mesh screening processes? Do you find that your materials get clogged in the mesh of your screen deck? Finding a solution to roadblocks can be difficult. Ultrasonic Vibratory Sieving Systems can assist in making this process easier. Let’s dive deeper into them and learn more about what […]
As a manufacturer of vibratory and ultrasonic screening systems, screen wear is a huge issue for any fine mesh equipment. One frequently asked question we get from customers is, “How often should I replace my screen or mesh frame?” That can be a complicated question to answer since there are many variables to consider, including: […]
Many times, a customer’s problem with product throughput can be solved with some simple solutions. I am not going to discuss screener ball decks, screen rings, or ultrasonic sieving but rather some simple solutions for those applications where the powder wants to sieve but is just not going through the screen! First, let’s discuss on […]
The typical customer who calls or emails with a process question has either hundreds of pounds per hour or tons of material per hour to screen. Although these may be the majority of the applications, I do get many inquiries where the customer only has to process maybe 20 or 30lbs/hr. (or less) but still […]
Over the years, I have read many articles about how to reduce fine mesh screen blinding on vibratory screeners. These solutions range from polyurethane balls to brushes. One of our most frequently asked questions is how to clean screens once they are blinded for fine mesh applications. Some customers simply throw out the blinded screens […]
During the process of manufacturing paints or other coatings, one of the steps involved is milling or grinding all of the dry ingredients into the liquid portion of the paint. These dry or solids consist of Titanium Dioxide (TIO2) pigments, binders, and various other powders. The liquid portion is mainly solvent or in the case […]
Here at HK Technologies, we have been sieving powder metal for quite some time. Our Ultrasonic Sieving Systems allow for sieving very fine atomized powders – down to 20 micron on conventional wire mesh and in some cases finer –using electroformed material provided by PrecisionForm, Inc. As the 3D printing industry has exploded, so has […]
We know it’s a big deal when it comes to talking about “sticker price”, especially when it deals with expensive pieces of equipment, or rather process investments that will provide efficiency and give you the best final product possible. Customized pieces of equipment tend to fall under the larger price tags, but don’t be fooled, […]
Liquid ceramic glaze or clay slurry materials are used in a variety of products and applications ranging from decorative and protective glazes to tile glaze or electrical porcelains. Typically this material starts with either Koalin clays or ceramic powders mixed with water or other liquids to form a slurry. Depending on the application this slurry […]
Powder coaters know the importance of utilizing a powder coating that is free from any contaminants or oversize particles. This would include the end-user and the powder coating manufacturer. Typical powder coating applications can leave up to 20% of the original powder either to be recycled or swept up and thrown out in the trash. […]
