Haver & Boecker’s New Ty-Rail™ Configurations Increase Vibrating Screens’ Adaptability
ST. CATHARINES, Ontario (March 27, 2018) — Haver & Boecker, a leading
equipment manufacturer and solutions provider in aggregates and mining applications,
introduces new configurations of its Ty-Rail™ quick-tensioning system for screen media.
As a result of Ty-Rail’s success, Haver & Boecker developed and now offers three anglebox
designs for different vibrating screen setups. This allows producers to benefit from Ty-
Rail’s time savings during screen media change-outs, even on difficult-to-access areas of a
vibrating screen.
The patented Ty-Rail system is designed specifically for Haver & Boecker’s Tyler brand of
vibrating screens and now comes standard on all new F-Class and T-Class machines with 3-
bend tension rails. The system solves an age-old problem of time-intensive screen media
change-outs. Replacing tension rails is typically time consuming and requires removing and
replacing many pieces of hardware per screen section. Washers or bolts are often dropped or
lost in the process, which adds to downtime and parts costs. Ty-Rail eliminates this problem
by combining the tension rail and all of its hardware into one piece. The new Ty-Rail angle
box designs provide the ability to change screen media in half the time, even in tight or
hard-to-reach areas.
Haver & Boecker showcased the Ty-Rail system during AGG1 2018 in Houston.
“Our goal is to continually develop new ways to help our customers achieve more
productivity,” said Karen Thompson, Haver & Boecker Canada president. “Our patented
Ty-Rail system is just one way we are achieving that goal. The feedback from customers
and the positive impact on their operations encouraged us to develop additional
configurations to accommodate more screen designs and applications.”
The standard Ty-Rail configuration requires operators to loosen bolts and shift the angle box
gates up to remove the tension rail. This is ideal in easily accessible areas of a vibrating
screen. However, some screen designs can limit access to some of the tensioning bolts.
Haver & Boecker engineered two additional angle box designs for reverse and tight areas.
The reverse design allows maintenance technicians to loosen and remove bolts from the
inside of the vibrating screen instead of the outside. This eliminates the tedious task of using
an open-end wrench to access difficult areas, such as a bolt between coil springs and the
side plate, and risk dropping small parts.
The tight-area design flips the angle box 180 degrees from the standard angle box
configuration, allowing producers to loosen the bolts and drop the angle box gate rather than
lift it up. A reinforced strap secures the gate during screen media change-out. This design
allows the use of Ty-Rail even on parts of a machine where an angle box gate couldn’t be
shifted up, such as below a wheel guard.
Each Ty-Rail package includes two tension rails, eight angle boxes, eight bolts and all the
hardware required to change one screen section. Once installed, each rail becomes a
singular, removable piece since the bolts remain attached to the rail, and the angle boxes
remain attached to the vibrating screen. To remove the tension rails, an operator simply
loosens the tension bolts on each, shifts the angle box gates up, and lifts the rail and bolts
out as one piece. The innovation can take the task of changing tensioned screen media
panels from two people down to one.
Producers can refurbish older Tyler vibrating screens, that have 3-bend tension rails, with
the Ty-Rail system. Determine if Ty-Rail can be installed on a non-Tyler brand of vibrating
screen by consulting the measurement guide at havercanada.com/Ty-Rail.
