 The article discusses research on the impact of startup time on vibration parameters and power consumption during the startup of a vibrating screen. The study found that the most favorable startup time is 3 seconds, and for startup times below 0.2 seconds, the maximum momentary power consumption was the highest. However, extending startup times can significantly reduce the power demand of the drive, enabling the selection of motors with lower power ratings for improved energy efficiency.
