Introduction
Founded in 1930, W.S. TYLER CANADA operates a Screening Media (TYLER) and a Vibrating Screen Division (TYCAN) under one roof for over 75 years. The company philosophy is to provide Screening Solutions by Screening Specialists. Today, W.S. TYLER CANADA is part of the family owned Haver Group and the only company in the world capable of supplying all aspects of the renowned screening circle. The screening circle is a given necessity for any customer that aims to separate his products according to size. The screening circle contains the following components:
W.S.Tyler W.S.Tyler Canada – TYCAN 4. Service: The screening media and the vibrating screen must be defined as a complete screening system. TYCAN understands that responsibility and as a result offers far reaching services, such as the self developed vibration analysis. Using such milestone technologies we are today capable of ensuring complete synchronization between screening media and vibrating machine with the help of automatically generated improvement recommendations. To ensure the quality of the recommendation results, we again require the particle analysis and thus the screening circle closes to form a complete rotation.
3. Vibrating Screens: The particle sizes of the feed material as well as the required cut sizes determine the necessary drive technology and physical size of the vibrating screen. TYCANʼs engineering department is a very international team. As a result the customer benefits from this wide range of experience and process studies with screening solutions that are extraordinary and unprecedented in the history of the screening industry. Using tools such as FEA and 3-D CAD systems, TYCANʼs promise is to develop customized solutions according to product application and customer specification.
1. Particle Analysis: the basis for any screening process is the understanding of the size distribution within the feed material as well as the desired product. TYLER offers all aspects of particle analysis, beginning with standard sieves over traditional laboratory shakers such as the famous “ROTAP” to the technology of Computerized Particle Analysis (CPA). The Screening Circle
2. Screening Media: The results of the particle analysis and the material characteristics determine the opening and the composition of the screening surface. TYLER offers a full line of screening media, starting with woven wire cloth, engineered rubber and polyurethane systems to self cleaning screens and perforated plate. TYLER understands the impact media changes can have on protecting the vibrating screen itself.

Eccentric Shaft Systems (4-bearing Technology)
The NCLASS The TYCAN N-Class is commonly used as a primary screen targeted at increasing the throughput and the efficiencies of the primary crusher in very heavy duty and aggressive environments. Capable of handling particles as big as 78” x 39” x 39” and screening at cut sizes of ½” to 12” it is ideal for very demanding industries such as mining or crushed stone. This operation principle consists of the use of a shaft and four bearings. The vibration motion is worked
into the shaft in form of single eccentricity, allowing for equipment operation with consistent amplitude, independent of the load fed to the screen. Due to the constant dynamic operating conditions and consequently the very high G-Forces generated by the technical principle of the vibrating screen, product particles are consistently launched out of the classification openings of the media creating a self-cleaning effect, which minimizes material clogging and pegging.
N-CLASS in a typical layout
PRINCIPAL CHARACTERISTICS:
• Consistent amplitude • Constant dynamic, load independent operating conditions, • Adjustable frequency • Dry and humid classification • Cuts of up to approximately 12” • High classification capacity and better classification efficiencies • Use of perforated plates up to 4” with conical opening as classification media • Allows for various classification deck configurations • Allows for the classification of viscous and sticky products • Does not transmit vibrations into the structure • Width of up to 8 ft. • Length of up to 22 ft • Optional full or partial dust enclosure • Allows for immediate stoppage (either by electric brake or by reversal) eliminating residual vibrations

Double Eccentric Shaft Systems (4-bearing Technology)
The F-CLASS The TYCAN F-CLASS is the number one vibrating screen for classification in the heavy mining, mineral and crushed stone industries. The positive circle-throw motion of the F-CLASS is developed by a counterbalanced double eccentric shaft, which is supported by four double spherical roller screen bearings. Rubber mounting units dynamically balance by isolating the vibrating body from the stationary base frame. The shaft is supported on the base by side arm assemblies that are also isolated on rubber mounting units. The F-CLASS free floating action permits the shaft to find its natural center of rotation without strain or thrust on the bearings. This feature minimizes maintenance and downtime and prolongs the life of the bearings.

Horizontal Screening Systems
The XLCLASS Todayʼs markets have increasingly been demanding higher production rates in form of bigger machines as well as superior machine availability. Traditional shaft driven technology reaches its limitations at a determined width due to the mechanical deflection of the shaft resulting in unacceptable bearing lifetimes. TYCANʼs solution to the marketʼs demands and the technological limitations of the shaft technology is the exciter driven XL-Class. The exciter is a completely incased drive unit consisting of short shafts supported by closely positioned bearings. Mounted on a specially designed over head bridge the exciter technology allows TYCANʼs XL-Class to be built at widths in excess of 8ft addressing the market need for bigger machines. Due to carefully chosen bearing sizes in combination with maintenance
friendly lubrication via oil the demand for availability is addressed by bearing lifetimes as high as 50,000 hours (application dependant). Not only does the XLClass set new standards in its drive principle but also in its body design. Enabling forces of more than 5g (application dependant) the XL-Class is engineered using state of the art Finite Element Analysis technology (FEA). FEA enables structural calculations by simulating the machineʼs dynamic behavior in form of a 3D model. The results of the simulation allow the determination of resulting tensions and natural frequencies to assure a technologically optimized and economically sound design.

Horizontal Screening Systems
The XL-CLASS Banana Certain applications call for versatility in changeability of screening surface angles. TYCAN answers this market demand with the XL-Class Custom Slope Deck, designed to provide high yield and efficiency in screening. Larger angles of inclination in the feeding area offer a speed gain in the material flow, which assures a reduced height in the screening layer and allows fine materials to easily pass through the screening media. Subsequent changes in the inclination angles of the media along the screen structure assure a reduction of flow speed allowing the final layer thickness to increase, thus insuring accurate sizing performance at the screenʼs discharge end. The Custom Slope Deck screenʼs mechanical structure is strong and solid and entirely equipped with Huckbolts, providing high operating capacity and low maintenance cost.
XL-CLASS Banana-type 8’ x 24’ (2400mm x 7500mm) PRINCIPAL CHARACTERISTICS:
• Linear Free Vibrating System with “Exciters” • Strength and Reliability • High efficiency in screening • Easy to operate and to install
• Material in non-laminate format • Designed specifically for granulometric applications with high concentrations of under-sized materials

High Speed Screening Systems
S-CLASS 4’ x 8’ (1200mm x 2500mm)
The S-CLASS S-CLASS is a versatile high speed circle-throw movement machine designed for medium and fine screening of very difficult wet or dry materials such as sands, gravel, lime, coal, chemicals, fertilizers, gold and metal ores. The S-CLASS is a tough two bearing machine with flexibility to meet demanding and changeable screening conditions. The vibration of the S-CLASS is developed by a counterbalanced shaft assembly which is supported by two double spherical roller screen bearings mounted in ductile iron bearing housings at each end of the vibrator assembly. The vibrator is located over top of the vibrating screen body and is demountable for service. The circle-throw motion produced by the vibrating head is transferred into a forward inclined ellipti-
10
cal action on the screen surface at the feed end and into a backward inclined ellipse at the discharge end. This special design creates high transport velocities at the feed end and lower ones at the discharge end. This causes a quick and equal distribution of the material on the first third of the screen deck and a sharper screening at the last third.

Fine Screening Systems
The H-CLASS / The FINELINE TYCAN has two systems for fine screening, the TYCAN H-Class and the TYCAN Fineline. The designs were conceived in order to obtain high efficiency, versatility and simplicity of operation and maintenance. The operation principle utilizes high frequency vibrating motors, which directly
excite the screening media without transmitting vibration into the screen body. The range of products that may be classified with this equipment is very wide. The excellent results achieved during operation at industrial level for the classification of products speak for themselves.

Hydro - Clean
Before
Afterwards
Often customers not only require screened product but cleanly screened products, TYCAN has developed a technology capable of cleaning material mixtures with particle sizes ranging from 0-150 mm, with the use of high pressured water: The TYCAN Hydro Clean. The result of this technological quantum leap is a high pressure cleaning system for production rates from 50 to 400 tons of output material per hour. Designed similar to a household washing machine the contaminated material is fed into an actual washing chamber by a hopper. Inside the machine the material builds a column standing on a conveyor belt, the speed of which controls the throughput of the material and the washing cycle. To protect the chamber, its inside is lined with standard polyurethane screening panels allowing dirty water to escape and be returned to a settling pond. The constantly recycled water is fed to jet valves, which rotate at the top of the washing chamber. As a result the water is injected at rates from 800 to 2000 PSI and intensely interacts with the contaminated product by blowing onto the particles and penetrating porous areas, which friction based washing technology could never reach. This means the Hydro Clean is capable of offering never before seen cleaning degrees. Products thought to be impossible to clean can now be sold at premium prices.
