8 years of breakdowns solved by one engineering decision

When equipment fails time after time, the problem may not lie in the equipment at all. One of our customers in Uzbekistan had been trying to solve the same issue for more than eight years. A vibrating screen installed after a grinding mill was regularly breaking down, bringing the entire process line to a halt every few months.

Screens were replaced, globally recognized brands were tested, yet the outcome never changed.

The Nord Minerals team conducted an on-site audit and identified that the issue was not the screen itself. The mill and the screen were installed on a shared foundation, causing vibrations from the mill to be transferred directly to the screen. As a result, the screen repeatedly entered resonance with the mill and failed.

Installing yet another new screen would have meant repeating the same scenario
What was needed was an engineering solution tailored to the specific operating conditions.

Together with our trusted partner ROITECH, we developed a concept for an anti-vibration roll-out frame and a reinforcing support structure designed to absorb mill vibrations and protect the screen.

This solution helps eliminate the problem entirely, rather than simply postponing its next occurrence.
We also provided a two-year warranty for equipment operating under increased vibration loads.

Our mission is to bring efficient, best-in-class solutions to ensure the success of our customers. It’s not about selling equipment. It is about doing what’s truly needed to make the production process stable and reliable for the client.

If you’re looking not just for equipment, but for a working solution — we know where to start.
